Faded Gibson SG

First of all I would like to establish that I have been playing guitar for 2 years and for the first year and a half, all of the guitars I owned and played cost less than $100.00. This May I decided that I was going to save up for a guitar that many of my favorite guitarists play, and in fact my great uncle who is a professional musician plays a custom one. The guitar is a Faded Gibson Sg. Right after school got out in June I asked my mom if I could have a summer job out at the ranch that she manages, hoping that by the end of the summer I would have enough money to afford this beauty.

She agreed and let me work for three long, hot, gruesome months out in the extreme temperatures of the California sun. Finally, at the end of August after three long months of raking crap (literally) I had saved up about $600. The weekend that I got my final paycheck I rushed over to Guitar Center with my dad, tested out the $580.00 guitar and fell in love, the finish is absolutely beautiful, can you say mahogany? The pickups used are Alcino humbuckers that give it a nice, crunchy tone, and the fact that it has an unpolished finish just gives it a better sound and makes the neck feel like butter.

I've had this guitar for about 3 months, and have not had one problem with it. The only thing I might do is put a pair of Seymour Duncan Invaders at the bridge just to get a heavier sound. But trust me, BUY THIS GUITAR. It won't let you down.
