I got this Guitar from a Thrift Store in Iowa City for only $31.50..! What Originally Caught my Eye was the Truss-Rod Access Panel had " "by Gibson" Etched in to the Panel..!
Well it even came with a Gig bag so ..I bought it..!
Fairly Good Electronics, 1 Volume and 1 Tone control ..just a basic 1 pickup Design. A Humbucking Pickup. Machine Tuners. And a great Dark-Cherry Finish round out this Great-Value-For-your-Money Student Electric. I also Really Like the SG style Double-Cutaway...Easy to Hold...sitting Down Or Standing up with a Guitar Strap, Either Way it's Light and Easy to Get into the Position you Want to play it in.
Great Rosewood Neck as well. the Fret's could have used a little more Dressing-up, and polishing I thought..but Definitely Easy to play the action almost sets itself up with The Original Style Gibson SG Bridge.
Overall, I would give it 3 1/2 Stars out of Five as an Instrument. Not Stage-level Quality, But Definitely a good Practice/study Guitar..Even Sounds GREAT through my iPhone AmpKit With Distortion and Noise gate. also sounds fine Through a Little Traynor 10 Watt Practice Amp I use quite often.
One Note: overall the Action is Excellent..But I did have a Little "Fret Buzz" around 12th Fret, Probably just a T-Rod Adjustment is all that's Needed.
This Instrument Retails for $179.00, a Little High perhaps..But if you can Buy one used for ..say a Hundred Dollars or So... I would Grab it.
