Sweetest Guitar Ever!!!

All i knew when i went to buy a new guitar was that i wanted a gibson sg. my buddy had one and i fell in love with it, when i looked at all the different styles the menace stood out! The menace just kind of had its own personality and was different! I took a chance and ordered it, not knowing what it sounded like. When i plugged it into the amp, i loved it and have been playing it ever since non-stop! the only thing i had against it was how sticky the neck was when i first got the guitar,because of the finish. But it wore off a week after i started playing it, and slicked up later on! This is an awesome guitar!

The Gibson SG Menace is one of the best SGs on the market. It gives you raw power with brute force. It is a headbanger's dream axe. Compared to other heavy metal guitars such as the Kramer Vanguard, the Menace SG blows it away with its hot 490R and 498R Smoky Coils pickups. They're not EMG, but they are still rocking. With its light weight, reliablity, awesome tone and price tag this is a guitar worth buying. I've played this guitar at many shows and played many solos with it. It is very rockin and if you like heavy metal or hard rock this the guitar for you!

It's the best sg deal from gibson

It is basically a SG Standard that looks more unique and is a better deal. It has excellent weight, playability, tonal range, and clear a sound. The ebony fingerboard and brass hardware are sweet. The neck is thick but I have small hands and find it easier to play and faster than my bro's strat because of the rounded profile. I have had it for a few months with no wear n tear but with it I take care. Made in USA. Buy it.

I played this guitar at the gibson showcase in Nashville and fell in love with it. Its tone is great. The pickups are awesome when your placing those hardcore metal riffs. The only thing that I don't like is the size of the strap buttons - they're too small and my strap slips off too easily.

I can't believe I can afford this!

When I saw an actual Gibson SG called the "Menace" I was very suprised at the price! Took a gamble, ordered, and it paid off! I play chunky classic rock riffs and some heavier tunes as well, and couldn't be happier with its sound. Extremely light making it great for extended gigging. Proud to own it! Great Gibson quality! Don't hesitate to purchase!
