You know what's the best part of this guitar other how amazingly beautiful it looks in cherry ? The coil tapping in the humbuckers. It allows you to dial in a huge variety of tones from heavier stuff like sabbath,iron maiden to mellower tunes of beatles,john mayer etc.Being an SG it has high accessibility to the higher frets, and its easier to play and linger on longer in the higher fret range. Its also dosen't suffer from the infamous SG neck dive partly because of the use of lighter Wilkinson tuners.There are plenty of YouTube review around for you to decide wether you like the tone or not. Personally after months and months of research ,i can attest that this is the best guitar you can buy at this range,period. Oh and it already comes nicely setup & you can play it right out of the box. You're not gonna regret buying this ever if you are a fan of classic 70s rock like me :)
