The real surprises here were the tasty clean tones! Much nicer than those of a typical Les Paul.

Some versatile tones coming from those pickups. Sounds like a fender in the sweet spot plus all the mid range fullness you don't normally get with a fender

In the market for a new S.G, been debating back and forth between the standard vs the tribute. Like the standard better but just can't decide whether or not the added features it has is worth the additional 400 to 500 dollar increase in price. Especially considering the differences seem to be mostly(if not all)cosmetic
@timrussell15593 жыл бұрын
@T K There are a few more differences between the two. The standard comes with binding, a full size pickgaurd, and a more durable clearcoat finish. I personally have decided that even though the standard is much more expensive, its worth the additional cost and i'm going to buy one. Regards
