Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Guitar is well made as it should be carrying the Gibson name. Only issue i have found is the fret wires are a little sharp at the edges of the fingerboard but this was easily solved with a small file and a little time. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Only had the guitar a short time so far but everything is great so far. General Your general opinion of this product. This is an excellent entry level Gibson SG. The only negative is that I would have preferred a hard shell case versus the padded gig bag but I understand that's a part of the reduced cost of the guitar. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? The guitar is pretty light weight when compared with a Les Paul. The neck is fast with no issues getting up and down the frets quickly. The Obeche fingerboard is quite unique in that it looks like ebony but feels closer to rosewood. The controls are set up nicely like any other SG, out of the way and yet easy to reach when needed. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? The dirty fingers pickups are pretty hot. The differnce in tones between the bridge and neck pickups was quite remarkable considering they are the same pickup. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The finish was outstanding. Could not find a flaw on it and this was a dent and scratch special. This is the third dent and scratch guitar I bought from American Musical and I have yet to find the flaw on any of them. Action How was the action out of the box? Action was fine out of the box to get started playing but I do plan on making modifications to suit my personal tastes and style.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? as with any higher end manufacturer,the quality standards are set high.i have 4 sg's,and am loving this model due to the color choices,the fingerboard,and the dirty fingers dual humbucker p/up configuration.for this price point it is an unusually well made model,and carries forth the same characteristics of my higher priced models. Reliability How has it stood up over time? only had it a month ,and so far ,so good. General Your general opinion of this product. it stands tall as should any classic.i like the sg line particularly due to its lightweight ,and balance ,due to my having a bad back.the tonal range is vast ,and and presents well in any situation.clear ,crisp cleans.low end crunch,and searing soloing screaming highs. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? it is a lightweight in the heavyweight division.plays fast,and fits my hands perfectly.ez to reach dual volume/tone knobs,and 3 way toggle. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? i'll just say yes to all of the above.gibsons are well known for their vast array of tones,but when colorized with your pedal set up you can reach the stars and moon..... Finish How did the stain or paint job look? absolutely spotless.with a gleaming sheen.not the trans paint we are used to in the maroons,and blacks,which is why i bought both the blue and the red.the blue has a purplish glow to it under the stage lighting,which is very impressive. Action How was the action out of the box? when you buy a new guitar ,you have to tune it and get a feel for it then have your guitar tech set it to your liking.if you are buying it as a practice or non-professional play,it is set nicely out of the box.
