DC-Custom Cherry : Super impressed

I was very pleasantly surprised when this guitar arrived. Out of the box, the setup was almost perfect. I just tweaked the truss rod 1/8 of a turn and lowered the action by 1mm and now it is fabulous. It is so easy to play, and sounds great. Even the coil tap is useful, especially on the neck pickup to get a sweet lead tone.

Fit and finish are above what you would expect for a guitar at this price point. Mine was immaculate out of the box.

I actually prefer the single tone / volume knobs and location of the output jack to that on my "real" SG. It's less cluttered, and the cable can be wrapped around your strap more easily. Like all SGs there is a bit of neck dive, but the placement of the strap peg helps that a lot.

If you are thinking of buying an Epiphone SG I would highly recommend this guitar instead. In terms of playability it's actually up there with my 1970s Gibson. Very nice!
