I've got a Encore SG. Through a tube overdrive pedal and a tweed 5W tube amp it just nails Highway to Hell, Parisienne walkways, Cream, etc.
Talking of Cream the guitar has the creamiest of rosewood fingerboards - super smooth. It has a pre-Gibson injunction serial number 004508 with a direct copy of the SG neck, heel and body shape.
I changed the tuners to counteract neck dive, swooped out the knobs, lowered the Graphtech? nut slots (filed it down as well) and fitted a Nashville bridge (already had the smaller posts) to get the intonation spot on. The headstock logo has quite a classy fleur de lis.Prefer it to to a couple of V100s. Got it during lockdown with the tweed case for £90. I've got some new Wilkinson pups I toying with fitting.
