NEW REVIEW - Gibson Faded SG
The Gidson Faded SG is a great guitar. I tried it out of the box but the B and e strings sounded very tinny.... Took it to get it set up and all is well with the guitar now. I would recommend this guitar to anyone that want an SG without paying the price (extra $300.00 - $400.00) for the paint job that's on the Standard SG. Other than that and an extra bevel on the body they are one in the same. Also, I would recommend you get chrome humbucker covers from Gibson and have them installed (soldered) as the look is much much better.

FADED IS GREAT AFTER SET-UP
First things first: The people reviewing this guitar and giving negative comments are probably doing so in large part becuase their resepctive guitars have not been set-up properly. I have been playing guitar for many years and one thing is certain: There is no such thing as a guitar being set-up perfectly right out of the box. For those of you who claim you received one, I respectfully submit that it is just not really posssible. This faded SG is no different - mine was set-up in a terible manner. The intonation was way off, the action was too high, the pick-ups needed adjustment, the truss rod and stop tail also needed adjustment. Even the fretboard and the body finish needed to be oiled.
HOWEVER, once I spent the $60 to accomplish this, I came home with an absolutely superb instrument. It plays and sound slike a dream. I own an SG Special with P-90s and I previously owned an SG standard, but this guitar is lighter and sounds as good if not better than either of those guitars. Even with my $60 set-up adjustment investment, I feel like I am way ahead of the game in terms of money for value. I will be gigging with this guitar as my primary weapon. It is an excellent musical instrument. You will not achieve its true potential unless you set it up properly.

A must have for any Gibson fan!!!
I have owned one of these Faded SG Specials for about four years now and I love it. It feels and sounds as good as any SG, and costs half the price. I didn't expect this guitar to be this awesome for the price. The neck plays extremely fast and the pickups sound awesome. This guitar is extremely light so you can play it for hours without getting tired. I would highly recommend this guitar to anyone.

All Right
I will make this short and sweet. This is a great guitar for the money. I didn't see any difference on this than the standard SG. If you want a Gibson and don't have alot of money this buds for you.

An American Classic
I really enjoy this guitar. My old guitar used to leave bruses on my shoulder because it was so heave, but now i can wear it all day and i won't even notice it. I also dont know what people are talking about when they say the tuners were bad. Odviously they had a dud sg. With my line 6 amp and pedal this guitar could create the best rock tone ever. Overall i think my 2005 sg is the best guitar Ive ever played.

WOW!!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this guitar!!! I've owned it a about a week now, and it is the poop! I went to GC almost a year ago just looking and played one of these...really liked it right off. Saved a little money, not hard to do cuz' the price is so good, and got one. This is my second Gibson (got a Les Paul Junior w/2 P-90, love that one too!)and if you're looking for a nice, cool ax this is the one!!

Excellent Guitar
Ive owned this guitar for about 4 months now. Wow, this was an excellent buy. I was hesitant to purchase this "cheaper" Gibson but man I was mistaken. Gibson gets the price down due to the cheaper finish, but I like natural finish guitars so this works for me. The circuitry is quiet, the pickups rock, and the neck is great. I dont really like the cosmetics of the wrapped pickups but they sound so good so I get over it. I have a hard time deciding which guitar to play now, my faded SG or my Les Paul Classic. Unfortunatly the Tele gets no playing time anymore!!

Great guitar, Great sound, Great price!

call me little angus
i come from a musical family and my dad has always sought to provide me a quality instruments. He felt the faded sg would do this with out going overboard. Little did he know I"ll never need anything more. This rocks as good as anything outthere> the bean counter at Gibson must not be paying attention because the value of this thing far outweighs the cost. Its my ax for life.
