Tom Bradfield started sanding guitar bodies in the wood shop, moved up to an inspector role and became a final adjuster from 1965 to 1980. Bradfield has worked with several major recording artists, including Peter Frampton, Charlie Daniels, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, The Who and Eric Clapton, among others. He is also one of the few men to touch legendary bluesman B.B. King’s guitar “Lucille.” Bradfield, who still repairs guitars at his home in Portage, said he’s worked on Lucille at last a dozen times since 1975. When King would play in Kalamazoo, Bradfield would tend to Lucille. He last set up Lucille in 2002 when King played the State Theatre in Kalamazoo. Video by Mark Bugnaski / Kalamazoo Gazette Mlive

I am checking out these guitars on Ebay in perfect condition with the price reduced from around $350 to $160. I have heard mixed reviews on both the Gibson and Epiphone model of these guitars, but like the sound of them. I was wondering how good the pickups are, if they go out of tune easily, the overall quality of these guitars, ect. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have the 2005 model that was made in Nashville. It has 22 jumbo medium frets, with a worn brown finish. It’s kind of a glossy dull finsh and it looks pretty sweet in bright lights. Because of this finish it is easibly maintainable. The neck is made of mahogany as well as the body, and the fretboard is rosewood with marble trapezoid inlays. It has the original Gibson SG style body, with 2 tone controlls and 2 volume controls (one for each hmbucker). it has a Tune-O-Matic Bridge just like on the gibsons witch are really easy to operate and play around with. The bridge pickup is a Hot-B Gibson humbucker and the neck humbucker is a ‘57 classic Gibson humbucker (witch is the exact same humbucker that Angus Young’s signature SG has). It has a 3-way humbucker selector (rythm/both\treble) this enables you to play wih the bridge humbucker, the neck humbucker or both. It also came with a free gigbag but that was a deal I made with the salesperson.
Sound: This guitar has amazing sound. I love the look and feel of this guitar and it has amazing tone. I use a Peavey 15 watt practice amp, but to show this guitar’s full potential I would need something a with a little more kick. I play mostly AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, GN’R, Black Sabbath, Rush, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Clapton and this guitar more than meets my needs.
Action, Fit & Finish: The factory action was a little low but that took all of 2 minuets to adjust that and then it was good. The factory srtrings were really good strings, just not the ones I like so I changed them to my personal preference, Ernie Ball Super Slinkeys’. The one flaw (witch I wil not lower the rating for) in this guitar is that it does become top heavey because of the neck button placement but there really is no other place to put it, espacially with those evil lookin devil horn cutaways (and not to metion that, that is the way the SG has been forever).
Reliability & Durability: It never goes out of tune unles my strings are really old, and if I were to gig with it I would never need a backup because this guitar could withstand any amount of playing I can throw at it. I have had this guitar almost a year now and I play probly 3-4 hours of guitar a day and everything has stood up exceptionaly. I do trust the strap buttons, but with the amout of jumping around I do when I play I put washers on the butttons just to make sure the strap doesn’t come off because I love this guitar so much I would be devistated if I dropped it and it broke.
Impression: I play mostly AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, GN’R, Black Sabbath, Rush, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Clapton and this guitar more than meets my needs. I have had this guitar almost a year now and I play probly 3-4 hours of guitar a day and everything has stood up exceptionaly. If this guitar were to get stolen I would buy the same one that day. Angus Young is my hero and I have always wanted a Gibson SG just like his, but of course I didnt have the cash so I researched and found the next best thing. Probably my favorite thing about this guitar is the like and style of it. It is modeled after the ‘61 Gibson SG Re-issue. the devil horn like cutaways are probably the coolest feature about the guitar.
