Much like an instagram model, she has her good side and the not so good side.
However, that good side is what you see when playing, so maybe she is a keeper.
The other plus to the offset is that my bicep naturally sits on it and is supported taking all the stress off my elbow and makes it easier to play than a regular SG style guitar.
The rest of the guitar is impeccable and after a few minutes of tinkering with the Wilkinson bridge, it plays perfectly up and down the fretboard (don't tell Kurt , maybe there will be a C stock AD3200 lefty that pops up...)
The pickups perform admirably through my lightly modded Marshall AVT20 (which through my Monoprice 112 with V30 is actually better sounding to my ear than the DSL40 I used to have, go figure)
As you can see the saddles are kicked out pretty far, but they are rock solid and because the Wilky style bridge locks in place and the angle of ther bridge puts just enopugh side pressure on the roller saddles, it has no buzz/vibration unlike the same bridge when used with a Jazzmaster/Jaguar style vibrato.
Too good to be true NGD?

It looks great. Seems like a good fit, a keeper.

Gorgeous axe right there man!
I've got to admit as well that the stock pickups are pretty good...
Delightful mix of insolence, arrogance and narcissism

HNGD!!!
I really dig the finish and after careful old-school critical review, really like the warped SG styling! Playing and sounding well is a bonus.
