My 2005 Faded Special showed up today.
Quick pics,
I haven't had too much time to play it much, but here are my initial impressions,
Taking the guitar out of the case the first thing I noticed was how light the guitar was.
Next thing I noticed was how really nice the plain walnut finish looked. Very understated, but also incredibly pleasing to the eye.
As for ease of play, I honestly can't remember picking up a guitar and finding it so immediately comfortable to play.
Neck is incredibly smooth to the touch.
Bridge is perfectly placed, as I always find them to be on SGs and LPs.
No buzzing frets or deadspots.
Pups sound really nice.
No intonation problems.
Tuning is good, but since it's a pretty humid day here, I'm going to need to let the guitar acclimate better.
I also gave the guitar the once over and I really couldn't find any dents, dings, or scratches of notice. Plus it came with a Gibson hardshell case, so I'm definitely a happy little SG camper atm.
