This is the second guitar i bought. I personally have only been playing guitar for 3 years so i do not understand all of the technical details of guitar and so this review is more applicable for first time buyers/players. The SG is well built (mine has taken a few knocks already) which makes it a good choice if you need to cart it around a lot. The neck gives you access to all the frets with ease. The frets themselves are relatively long which may be of benefit to learners but more experienced players may not necessarily like. The sound from the two pick ups is good and you can get a wide variety of sounds from them. Overall the effect i get is more of a muddy sound than a sharp noise which suits the music i play but might not for some. I find that the problem with this guitar is its wide neck. This can make it difficult to play some chords, especially when combined with the longer frets. Another issue is that the guitar can be top heavy when playing with a strap. This results in the head of the guitar falling if you let go of the neck.
