When I had the guitar in my hands, I was a bit surprised. You can play well on it, and the sound on my amplifier is not so bad. It actually resembles the sound of an original Gibson SG.
Of course you have to make compromises. The strings are absolute junk, just like the supplied audio cables. The pickups are cheap but surprisingly good sound. The mechanisms (Tunes etc.) work, but also do not correspond to my normal quality.
The guitar is extremely Kopflastig, which is at the orginalen SGs but also that way.
If the guitar is really suitable for beginners, I can not really say there's sure what the play more easily. I see the guitar rather than the 4th or 5th instrument for amateur musicians. They want to expand their sound variety to a SG. Or as a craft object.
Conclusion: New strings up. Some fine tuning on the neck and pickups and already go kannŽs.
Of course, this guitar does not come ran to an original Gibson SG, but you have to remember that they carry only costs 150.00 and not mind. 1600.00 as the original.
