Reliability:
My 4th SG, take care of them and they'll be around longer than you will!
Overall:
Gibson could give a little more attention to detail when finishing the frets, (sharp edges)but nothing a file or stone can't tackle. Overall a great guitar for the price, but I plan on changing out the pups to Seymour Duncans.....
Finish:
Love the worn brown look!

This is definately a well made and dependable guitar..
Sound:
I play it htrough a Crate 112 and my Fender DeVille 212 and get superb tones...Excellent.
Reliability:
Had it a month play it 3 to 5 hours every day. On second set of strings. I couldn't ask for a better guitar for durability and great action.
Overall:
This a fantastic guitar. Sounds and plays great.
Playability and Feel:
This is a light weight guitar with a fast neck and easy to get to controls.. I love this guitar..
Tone:
It has 490 pickups and the 490T has great tone and so does the 490R. It has some mellow tones I really like.
Finish:
I got the faded cherry and the finish is just what I expected. Of course it's a Gibson
Action:
The action was excellent right out of the box. This guitar is set up right from the get go...

Surprise Surprise Surprise
Sound:
The tone is great for rock
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

Quality:
This is one of 4 Gibson USAs I own. Great guitar, and a great buy.
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!!
Action:
Second owner here. Owner sold me a new guitar they did not play.
