Great observation. It's fine when sitting. However, it's very much a problem when standing IF you have a normal guitar strap. A normal guitar strap width literally blocks your hand from accessing it because of where the strap button is. But, luckily, there is an easy solution. I bought one of these guitar straps with clips and smaller strap ends and now I don't have a problem: amzn.to/2QhpJUo
Can you get a really low action ? Last month a bought a Fantomen, which was too cheap to be true. Had to return it cause the trussrod didnt work plus a cracked headstock. A want to take a chance on another Fantomen, but on my first the action was still too high when the bridge already was at the lowest point
@@thumbscrews Hey, I took another shot on a white one. It's got minor finish flaws on top of the headstock. (Another one in my local guitar store also had finish flaws...) Other than that the new one is perfect. Plays like butter with very low action and sounds huge. I am very happy with it !
@@deekay5050 you still enjoying it? Planning on snagging a black one this month! Next to impossible to find one in my city in Canada though! Wish L&M sold them, but just going to order one online!
I’m pretty sure my SG Standard is a victim to the quality control problems that’s plagued Gibson for the past decade or so. The ‘61 reissue is great though.
Usa quality is a joke every guitar usa made i had whas junk and fire wood. Scratches paint jobs flamed tops pickups upside down. Mexico japan china things i had played like a dream from box. Im not suprised that this plays well.
Pardon my hillbilly ass. FRETWIRE.
Paying mine off right now. Can’t wait to try it out. Thanks for the review! If I like it enough, might get the black as well.
Upload a review of it and pass it my way! I'm curious to see what you think of it.
That's a nice guitar which I might find this guitar soon if only i would be part of a Ghost tribute band
Thank you for the review ! Which amp do you use ? thanx !
you still liking this guitar? Planning on buying a black one real soon!
How is the upper fret access? It seems restricted for lead playing. Hope I'm wrong about that.

Could you tell me what size truss rod wrench came w/ the guitar? 4mm seems too large for the hole. Long story.
Sounds and looks nice. Wish I could hear some clean tones

Dee Kay Sounds like you got a lemon. Mine is great and I adjusted my action really low.
@@thumbscrews OK, thanks !
I'll take another shot on a white one like yours.
Dee Kay Let me know how it turns out. I’m curious to know if I just got lucky on quality control, lol.

What amp and pedal did you use, or did you use the drive in the amp?
Just the amp. I’m using a Peavey Vypyr Pro 100. Have the XXX and Diezel amp models mixed together.
@@thumbscrews nice, thanks
