Very well made. Sturdy as a mule.
Features
What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
The body style. Takes me back to my youth when Townshend was my hero, and his SG just captivated me. Since my my semi-pro work made me a bass player, I finally realized that I should have been buying EB3s all along just to emulate the feel of the SG I always wanted. The SG style just has that indefinable something that makes it the epitome of "electric guitar."
Tone

Spicy variety. Fills the bill for most tunes that our group plays.
Finish

Outstanding. I just wish Gibson/Epiphone would stick to one style of pickguard for at least a couple of years. They're all great, but some are greater than others.

As with most bass humbuckers, a compressor can clean up any muddiness, but not lose that thunder.

Flawless as always.
