Am i crazy for not immediately taking this deal and is this SG versatile enough to cover things other than Angus Young style rock? Thanks for your help.

My friend Erik (of Z0mb13 T0a5t3r) owns an sg, and he says its great, and i would say it is versatile couse, we use it for metal, and hes really into DragonForce, which he also plays... I guess its good for the stuff i just named, but i dont know bout anything else. Good luck w/ the sg! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

They're humbuckers so they wont give you single coil tone, but they'll definitely have a nice clean tone. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Thanks for your help. i would be cautious, because it seems too Good to be true. if it is for real, you are an idiot not to jump on it at 700. i just cannot imaGine the reason for sellinG so cheap. makes no sense, unless family or super friend. btw, clapton played an SG in early days, did not pick up strat till later. certainly excellent for blues, no question about it.

Overaly,SG isn't "bad" guitar if such a thing exists in a first place, 700$ sounds like great deal tho,just check out condition of it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
