Based on 2 Reviews and 5 Ratings
Gibson quality; Epiphone budget
This is my go-to guitar and has been for over a decade. Honestly surprised not more outlets covered the coil-splitting when you pull up on the volume pots, because that turns this into a whole different guitar, all in one package. Makes it incredibly versatile and I don't often have to switch to anything else to get the sound I want out of it.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
This guitar can be a roaring beast, a needle threading through a tight riff, a capable fuzzmonster, and you get single-coil-esque chime out of the pickups when split. Splitting both coils and riding the middle switch selection gives me incredible sparkle and near-jangle. Give it a shot!

I will be buried with this guitar.
My all time favorite guitar. You can get your normal SG tones plus, with the coil splits, you can get tones that sound like a Strat. This girl does it all!
