Advantages: Great look, great sound and playability. Light Disadvantages: Quite expensive therefore not for beginners
Hello I am returning to Ciao after quite a few years! I thought I would start by reviewing what I regard as the best product I have ever purchased! I have been a guitar player over 6 years and play this guitar most days. Any technical words I use I will try to explain for people who do not play the guitar!
Price
I purchased a wine red GibsonSG Special for £500 about 4 years ago. However the price now seems to be ranging from around £600 to £800 at most online dealers. Therefore it is certainly not an ideal guitar for beginners, make sure you will stick at playing before buying one!
Guitar Materials
The main body of the guitar (the wide end that you strum) is made from solid Mahogony, as is the neck (the thin part that you play the notes). The fingerboard where you place your fingers to play the notes, is made from ...
Advantages: Real Gibson Quality Disadvantages: Heart Stopping price tag
A colleague at work has one of these.
Having fallen into a conversation about our axes and telling him about my Les Paul it was inevitable that we would end up round his house jamming and trying out each other's instruments.
The SG Special is a budget version of the SG Standard but over £300 cheaper. The differences? Chrome hardware, dot fret markers instead of trapezoid, a soft gig bag instead of the hard case, no pickup covers and no binding on the neck or body.
Otherwise there is no difference. The build quality, materials, electricals and finish are 100% Gibson.
She is a fine looking machine and a dream to play. The SG was Gibson's answer to the criticism that the Les Paul is too heavy.
The SG body is thinner and lighter, although later Les Pauls like mine are considerably lighter than the old school ones ...
Advantages: Stunning looks. Amazing sound (Clean + Distorted). Amazingly Light. Disadvantages: Newer Models can be weak at the neck.
can you see some of the stress marks in the lacquer.
I heard from Dave that only a couple of years before, Gibson went through money troubles and stopped making the SG and Les Paul Standards with the 3pc necks, which if that is true, is completely ridiculous as they made the weakest part of the guitar weaker.
But other than that one problem this guitar is the best investment I have made, even after the major breakage the guitar stays in tune perfectly and there are no problems with the intonation.
The guitar in my opinion is the ideal piece of equipment for a musician of really any style of music. It has the unique warm ''Gibson'' sound that you will fall in love with. ...
