This is one hot looking guitar! Solid gibson sg style guitar with awesome "tree of life" carving on the body and inlay down the neck. Its hard to find any info on these guitars but from what i could dig up, this guitar was made sometime between 1975-80 in japan. The original tuners have been replaced with schallers, and i think the pick-ups (2 humbuckers) were changed also.

Sound : 9
I dont know what kind of pickup are in this mother, but they make it scream.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 8
This guitar has its share of wear and dings, about as much as you would expect with a 25 year old guitar. I actually think it adds character to the guitar. It still palys well after all this time.

Reliability/Durability : 8
I got this guitar at a pawn shop, so you know it was mistreated... but its neck is still straight, and it plays awesome.

Customer Support : No Opinion

Overall Rating : No Opinion
