Vintage Review: SG

History:

Purchase: Impact Music Brighton UK, £150

What I Like About This Vintage SG: It has got a great range of tone which are easily changed mid-set. the style is based on a quality model so this is superb too. For the price the playability is also pretty good.

What I Do NOT Like About The Vintage SG: The main problem is the way the strap fits, causing a "top heavy" effect which makes playing standing up quite stressful and can cause increased hand-ache. Also I find that when played acousticly there is a very tinny sound to the guitar, but i suppose it is an electric after all.

Vintage SG Quality Rating: It is very well constructed and there is no problem with the look. the switch feels a little sticky sometimes and i feel it should have more snap. The neck is not perfectly filed at the edges but this has no major effect on playing.

Review Summary: Quite a good guitar and well worth the money,however a squier strat might be better value for money, it dependson which kind of sound you want, SG is good for rocky-treble.

Rating of this Vintage product: 3
