@KamikaziPanda17 I think that it would sound nice, but I just don't think an AC30 is a great "distortion" amp. You should look into tube amps with 6L6 or EL34 Valves, which give a Mesa kind of sound. The AC 30 is kind of "vintage" clean. Never the less, you would get great clean and crunchy tones out of it. Maybe you should think of a Tiny Terror also... I don't know, its up to you.
wow , i find these things for less than 500 on the internet all the time, yet the gibson website wants 1200 for one, dont buy from the gibson website.
Would this be good on a Vox AC30? im thinking of getting one, i have a Fender American Special and an Epiphone Nick Valensi Riviera P94, and im looking to get a guitar that will sound heavy and great with distortion.
i have this guitar, but i replacedd the pickups with emgs and got a gray pearloid pickguard as well as a bigsby to go on mine. it sounds sick but ever since i put the bigsby on it goes out of tune more...never did before the bigsby so im getting new tuners soon...any suggestions on good tuners???
@KingOfShadows1500 pups are strong but they sound very 'muddy' on this particular faded SG. Specially when playing clean. With gain it's a real beast :-)
I have this guitar. It's amazing. I changed string gauges on it from the Gibson factory standard 10-46, to my personal preference of 11-58, and the neck is doing just fine. It's a SWET guitar. Awesome action, pick-ups sound awesome, very versatile, very fast playing guitar. Only complaint is this thing WILL NOT stay in tune. I'm replacing the tuners soon.
@reint88 not really they sounds equal just the finish is different ..i got the change to buy either one and i tested them both out i say go for a special faded . there as good with a lower price budget
I saw this guitar a few days ago at Guitar Center. I picked it up, plugged it, and fell in love. It wad in red which I liked, but I liked the black more. I wish it had a thinner neck though.
@johntygesen I'd say the Gibson SG. It shall keep it's value, and you can expect it to have a better build quality than the Epiphone, but Epiphone is certainly not bad either. It kind of depends on you, which guitar plays better/sounds better for your music styles.
@PsychoKath293 well actually nevada music is somewhat wrong, the tuners on it are not very good for gibson tuners. replace them with die cast grovers, the plsatic on these are cheap. but otherwise no i have this guitar in red, much better looking in red IMOP but the wood darkens over time
@PsychoKath293 they dont.... i have one and they stay in tune its anazing. i changed the pickups to a dirty fingers in the neck and a 500T in the bridge and tophat knobs with metal inserts and a new truss rod cover
@PsychoKath293 i have one and it stays in tune just fine. i would tell anyone to buy this awesome guitar. most beautiful guitar i've ever seen. i play through a marshall mg30 dfx. really freakin screams in overdrive. beautiful clean sound also. get one while you can at $699.00.
I'm thinking about getting this guitar soon. I've off and on wanted one for awhile, and feel like it's about time since I have a drummer again and my Les Paul wears on my back. These are substantially lighter aren't they?
Hehe, I have the same setup; a Gibson SG Special Faded Worn Brown and a Marshall MG100DFX (The older generation) I was really lucky getting both of them. I got them at completely different occasions and stores, but both were the last ones they had, so I got them at kickass prices! :) Love 'em both~
I was thinking the same thing. I've owned nitro finished Gibson guitars and recently picked up a worn brown. The neck feels amazing and the guitar seems to resonate more due to the lack of thick glossy nitro.
@NevadaMusicUK an mg100dfx???? my oh my :] i have one and it dont sound like that :] must be the guitar :] is it me or does the sg suit the finish better than the lp???
I have one of these and it is my main guitar I love it I did change the tuning machines to locking ones though because I change my strings when they need it and I don't like the Gibson tuners I also put string saver saddles on but the pups are original and I really like the different sounds you can get with the volume and tone for each pup.
Hey can u guys help me out? I cant make my mind up on buying this sg or the reissue gretsch corvette i love gibson and gretsh, any body have any feedback?
in the info he put ADCD instead of ACDC lol nice guitar i got to try one and am saving my money to buy one, so the epiphone is going to have to tide me over
Im about to get this one!! I've played it many times at GC feels and sound great!! ---Alternative,rock,punk,pop!!!!

could you help me on a little doubt I have?
I once saw a Gibson SG faded model, and the body was made of several wood parts, you could see that cuz its faded painting. That looks terrible.
You know more than me, I wanna know if the Gibson SG Special is made like that too.
