This was what I've been looking for!!

Like so many reviews on this guitar, I just purchased one of these beautiful Epiphone sg standards and I am so impressed with the quality of this guitar. I owned a 69 Gibson SG w/ maestro many moons ago, which I sold and I always missed this guitar, but not wanting to spend Gibson $$, I had to try one of these Inspired by Gibson models, I feel this has the same characteristics and mojo of their big brother, and definitely gig worthy. Having fun reminiscing having missed my old Sg, I actually like this one better! Be prepared to check set up if getting out of the box, but simple adjustments should be all it needs, Epiphone is so much better recently with naming models as they should be and not a alternate names for these iconic styles, which I have owned through the years and have two other Epiiphone's currently and I will tell you this axe rips! I got one from my local guitar center, I love the Kalamazoo headstock , as I'm from Mi. I don't know if I got a happy mistake but the veneer cap on my new heritage cherry SG is done so well you would have a hard time telling it is not one piece body!! Which I like better than the strong mahogany veneer I have always seen in these newer models . there are small imperfections in finish on mine and hard to pick out if you are really inspecting, but not a deal breaker, it is gorgeous. nice for a poly finish. Really gets you into a quality instrument for a working musician or any level of player! As they say " won't bark the bank" , but I think they are something to be proud of owning!! I got the standard, because I like the set up of the batwing, I was happy I see the 61 reissues with maestro tremolo, but after having a original Gibson with one from the era, I preferred the stop tail piece over Maestro, they are cool, and what originally caught my eye , but after trying them out, I still liked the standard!! Really loving adding this to my collection , plays awesome, try one!
