"Absolutely incredible!!!"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I've been playing 47 years and have owned dozens of Gibsons, including 7 SG's, over the years. This one blows away the others! Not a single flaw of any kind to be found anywhere. Beautiful, flawless finish. Super-FAST neck and the best pickups Gibson has made in decades. Straight out of the case it was awesome --- But then I let my tech do his voodoo on the action. I can't adequately describe the action now. The neck was already fast, but now it has the lowest, fastest action of any guitar I have EVER held!! The level of craftsmanship and quality of materials used to make this guitar are beyond impressive. This is my 3rd 2019 Gibson (so far!), and let me tell you, they are back in a BIG way!!This is an awesome guitar at any price, but for under $2K , this is an incredible deal. I like it so much I may sell a LP and buy another one!!!Way to bounce back, Gibson!!!!
Musical Background:
Been playing 47 years. I can play bass and mandolin, but focus almost exclusively on guitar.
Musical Style:
Classic rock, Metal made prior to 2000, and Southern rock.
