    Guitar needed extensive set-up; fret ends, nut cut, high action, intonation way off. No surprize at this price. I like the neck profile and the raw wood feels great. Tuners work well. The pu's sound sweet clean and growl nicely with mild overdrive but they become muddy if you push it too far. Not all examples will have that nicely matched color, mine has upper half darker due to wood underneath. Good enough platform to warrant aftermarket pu's if you want. Large strap buttons don't accommodate locking straps like D'Addario well. Decent player.

  • Good player for this price.

    I needed a bare bones SG and after upgrading to KRG-3-N KLUSON® REVOLUTION tuners in nicklel finish, I have a very nice sounding SG that stays in tune. Thinking about a Mini humbucker upgrade next with split coils next.

  • Worth the money

    I got the red one. Finish is beautiful, had no imperfections of any kind. Understand these are P90 pickups which can have a LOT of hum noise when adding too much gain, depending on your setup/conditions where you play. Love the unique tone the P90s have vs single coils and humbuckers. Out of the box, sounded good with no fret buzz but was definitely not set up. Intonation was way off. Plan on either setting this guitar up yourself or have it done when you buy it. For the money, you are getting a solid guitar with good hardware. Stays in tune, no complaints there.

    It's fine

    Since the p90's are not described as humbuckers, do they hum like other single coils (Tele's, etc...)

    To some extent. Not like a Fender
