Hands down, the SG Special Faded Worn Cherry is the best combination of features and value in Gibson’s iconic SG line-up. You still get the dynamic, slim mahogany body and hair-trigger quick neck that have made the SG legendary, but without all the non-essentials. The ultra-affordable price tag on this guitar is owed to fewer coats of finish than can be found on the traditional SG Standard and SG Special.

Great Guitar. Just watch the furniture. :)By JT
I bought this gem of mine in a guitar store, it was floor model and smelled (it still does)a bit like cheap varnish. But it plays great.
The 490 neck and bridge pickups are incredibly powerful and pick up every nuance of your performance. If you're into Van Halen style tapping or just like to hammer-on one handed like Angus Young, this is the guitar for you. This guitar's incredible action will give you incredible speed to which to do it. A big plus is that the pickups will overdrive even a small battery powered amp without deafening the neighbors, which is good if you have to keep it down.
The body is super thin and it's a bit neck heavy, but it's lighter compared to the Epiphone SG with just as much punch. With the Volume/Tone controls of the guitar set to full-blast, it has a heavy metal crunch like no other. It sounds darker than the Epiphone Vintage G-400, and the neck joint isn't as prominent as on the Epiphone which makes hitting the high end that much easier.
With Medium strings and a Extra Heavy celluloid pick (or plectrum if you're techincal about it), it makes a great rock and roll guitar.
Paired with a Solid State amp, it's a great heavy metal guitar as the pickups are quite powerful. I like to plug my guitar directly into the amp with it's distortion up and the pickups do crunch so well I don't need a distortion pedal. Though I do like to throw one in on occasion just for fun.
With a Valve (tube) amp, it packs just as much punch even plugged straight into the amp.
As far as effects go, a Wah-Wah pedal is good if you want to play "Star-Spangled Banner" like Jimi Hendrix, it will blow your mind. On a clean setting you can get a jazzy, blues type motif going as the pickups clean up quite well on a cleaner setting. You still get the razor sharp action like you would with distortion, but with the advantage of clear vibrant notes.
The only downside is that it bangs up quite easily, hence if you plan on jumping around the room, be sure it's not too cluttered. Also, the finish is quite fragile as I discovered when I moved the case off my bed. I forgot to zip down the lid and the poor guitar jumped out and hit my dresser. It landed on the bottom strap button and left a small but clean crack in the varnish on the back, since my floor is tile and concrete. It could have been worse, but it still plays like the day I walked out the store with it, so it's not too much if you have to baby more than others.
In all it's a great guitar and with a little TLC, it can last you a lifetime.
