SG-1000 BSB


September 6, 2008

Rating: 9/10

As I happen to own a SG-2000 several years ago, I never come up with a guitar that could compare to it later.
Now I bought the SG-1000,still a quite amount money. The look/finish has now became almost the same as the SG-2000 (the white board that goes round the body\\\'s edge t.ex.) The only difference still is the tone/sustain(thru neck and brass block). SG-1000 sounds darker and the sustain is a tiny bit shorter than the 2000. BUT its still the 2nd.best guitar ever and the sound may suit some folks better. If you want any other guitar just turn the volume knob halfway down and you get the idea. The output is so strong that you might need a new amplifier to receive the signals without distortion. The ebony and the BIG frets gives you better sound and playability all free. Its coilswitch let you choose between skreamin leads to fat jazzy and even a acoustic as the body rings out like \\\"churchorgan\\\". This is not just a guitar, its a music instrument for all styles. I myself likes the more heavy stuff and find that intonation is perfect allover (a false note will destroy the \\\"marshall sound\\\".)

The only drawback is that if your spending this much on a guitar, your friends will say:-\\\"What? that much? And it isn\\\'t a Gibson?\\\". Then you have to let them borrow the guitar, just to tell them the difference between dull and joy.

-How are you?
-I sound much better now, thank you!
