| Overall:
| I purchased a worn brown SG on scratch and dent. It was hard to find the flaw so I thought it was a great deal. |
| Playability and Feel:
| Its an SG |
| Tone:
| Great stock pickups, almost might not change them out as planned before hearing it here. |
| Finish:
| I am not in love with the worn brown finish, and it made the neck feel a little "sandy" |
| Action:
| it needed a good setup, but hey it was a scratch and dent and I get my new guitars setup anyway |

| Reliability:
| Gibson need I say more? |
| Overall:
| Great guitar from Gibson. After I picked up my first Gibson I was sold for life.. |
| Playability and Feel:
| Light guitar, with a fast neck. |
| Tone:
| Tone is in the middle, between my Les Paul and my Explorer. Great tone for most songs and styles.. |
| Finish:
| The stain should hold up forever. When you buy a nice guitar. You should take care of it. People who throw guitars around should be put in jail!! |

| Quality:
| Well it is probably good wood and may last for ever but it needs finishing. I am not joking, this guitar looks like they stopped working when it was half finished and then just decided to sell it like that. |
| Reliability:
| No idea, I wouldnt even consider buying it |
| Overall:
| Gibson should never have made this series. It looks terrible from a distance and up close and the neck is horrid. Looks like it was never finished! Maybe for someone intending to customise an SG to their own tastes, this would make a good starting point but as it is, its just no good.
My local shop has this hidden away in the "really expensive guitar" corner but I think it is more to do with it being an embarrassment than the price!
If you want a reasonable priced but great SG, look at the epi prophecy series (with genuine Gibson Pick ups)and leave this monster in the closet where it belongs. |
| Playability and Feel:
| Sharp fret edges and a thick neck = no good. Garbage tuners too. |
| Tone:
| Lets be honest, I never even got as far as plugging it in. Genuine Gibson pickups and that set neck will undoutedly mean great tone - if you ever play it. |
| Finish:
| What paint? As I have said, garbage. No really, tat like this should not carry the most respected name in the business. |
| Action:
| OK but let down by the neck which is fat and has sharp frets |
