Now, with this Gibson SG Standard '61 Faded Maestro Vibrola, I no longer hear all the small guitars played, and it is very pleasant. I also have a pair of nickel coil pickups, and my open coil optics will not fail. Hals-Binding thought it would be ruthless and cruel. The funny thing is that I have my own talent and tools, so I solved this problem with my own practice and half the labor time. The guitar sound quality is perfect, but the Marshall amplifier sounds very good. The instrument can cause severe vibrations, and in this case, the player can play without interference. Like Musikhaus Kiestein, there are several Danish songs

The guitar is production model, build quality is great, minor issues, nothing that cannot be fixed by a professional setup. Many blame this vibrola system for tuning instability, I didn’t experience anything annoying or different than with other tremolos systems. Decent clean tones but the crunch sound of this guitar is to die for!

I have eleven guitars but this one is my favorite. I had a total shoulder replacement 2 years ago and ever since its been difficult to find a comfortable playing guitar. This neck is perfect. As any player knows, if you buy a American made Gibson you're getting quality and your guitar will increase in value as time goes on. Nick was very helpful at the Carle Place , Sam Ash Store. Even though he was by himself and was slammed with customers. I buy and sell gear but this guitar will never leave my ownership. Spend your money wisely and buy Gibson.
