Vintage VS6 SG Copy

Cherry finish, chrome hardware, the greenish tuners that are meant to say 'vintage' but actually say 'halloween'. still love 'em though.

22 frets, 2 volume and 2 tone, 3 way selector switch. it's an SG copy. what you expecting?

one thing that is very nice is the fret inlays are pretty good mother of pearl copy stuff. they look far better than any Westfield or anything in it's price-range.

i play rock and roll ('50s through to '80s, mainly early stuff though) and this guitar suits it perfectly. i play it through vox valvetronix amps (30w and 50w) on the Ac30 setting, and the strange thing is i was playing along with the Beatles Anthology 1 and the tone was perfect.
Being a George Harrison freak anyway this was quite fun for me, but seriously, the sparkling upper tones were bordering on Gretsch territory but still with the kind of compressed tight SG body tone.

being a guitar more often known for metal, it obviously stands up well through a big muff or whatever, but the pickups are good enough that you can play it clean and be proud of it.

hmm... likes and dislikes...

i love SGs, (this is my 4th through the years) and this is the best i've played yet. it's kinda heavy, but gibson style guitars always are, right?

ok, the reason i started this review -

the setup from the factory, out of the box, was PERFECT. seriously. it was even almost in tune. the action was excellent, the pickups were balanced, the finish had no flaws, the frets were smooth, the tuners still had the whiff of grease. great stuff. SOOOOO pretty...

i play live and can't wait 'til the next gig so i can use this. i'm installing a Vibrola tailpiece so i'll probably destroy the tuning stability, but at least i know it'll be my fault and not the factory. everything seems solid and durable, but if you gig without a backup you're just BEGGING for trouble.

i have a 1 year warranty, which i'll almost certainly invalidate when i install the vibrola. Oh well - he who dares, ruins!

i have been playing for 14 years, and own a fair few guitars. my 'thing' at the moment is to collect a version (not the real things, i'm not rich) of every guitar George Harrison played, so i've got the tennessean copy (a shine, very nice) and a rickenbacker copy (an Indie, if you can find one then buy it immediately - they're worth their weight in gold), and a sonic blue strat, and blah blah. you get the idea.

i decided to get this guitar to adapt into the SG seen in the 'rain' and 'paperback writer' promo films, as the epiphone sg maestro is discontinued and costs about ??300 now if you can find one. this guitar cost me ??119, the vibrola cost me ??75. easy maths!

i owned an epiphone SG400 a few years ago which cost me over ??200 but it played HORRIBLY - no tuning stability, the neck felt loose, it was foul. so i sold it, had some quality time with my hollow-bodies, and decided last week it was time to get back into SGworld. And i'm so happy i picked the Vintage.

Typical copy of the famous SG with slighty uneven horns in a gorgeous red and highly varnished with the wood grain visable, realy lovely to look at. I was pleased to notice it's not too thin nice and chunky and a good weight.The pickups are covered chrome pick-ups H/H in staggered housings with the standard layout of volume and tone for each pick-up with a three-way pick-up selector. Also unlike some originals, you can bleed the volume and tone of a selected pickup while switch is centred. The bridge is a tuno-matic copy with stop tail, all in shiny chrome. It has a black pick guard and the controls are all of good quality.Jack is at the front of the guitar, with no back plate.

The head stock is of a standard paddle shape with a green pearloid inlay and standard black T/R cover. In my opinion this is a much superior headstock to any other copys ive seen, including Epiphone.
The tuners are Covered but unsealed Wilkinson Deluxe tuners with vintage-vibe green plastic knobs. At first glance the colour of the tuners is off putting. The neck is nice and chunky lacquered in the same cherry finish that covers the rest of the guitar. Comfortable and easy to play. The finish on the set joint of the neck is top class and the neck just feels sturdy and well finished. The frets feel good and the markers are the traditional trapezoid shape.


I rate this a 10 because it has everything you need and it does it well.

I have been playing in and outa bands for nearly 20 years and i play mainly metal/rock from AC/DC to Pantera, also play the blues and some country. This guitar packs the goods and boy does it wana rock! I am playing this through a Berhinger Gmx212 and i sometimes also use a v-amp. In both clean and dirty there is no unexpected noises and it copes well with volume. It has a real bite, it dont want to play ballads! I realy would advise that unless you play with atleast a little gain, you wont like this guitar..go buy a tele!! You can go from a nice muddy blues to a real crisp Angus sound no problem. Play a couple of open chords with a little gain and reverb then anybody could be fooled its Ac/dc!! But then when you hit the gain and drop the mids..oh boy thats when it happens!! Anything from Metallica to Mastodon is available. People have been talking here of replacing the pups, but i aint going to coz i think it would be a crying shame. They are realy nice and responsive.

There is a slight fret noise around the 3rd to6th fret on the 4th string, but its quite minor and cant be heard when plugged in.

9 rating due to slight fret noise.

The factory set up was ok, just ok. When i first recieved the guitar the bridge pickup didnt work. So i opened it up to have a look and it was cross wired at the pot!! sorted in 2 minutes, but i have to say that the wiring was rubbish..like my 3 year old could do better!!Realy poor solder joints and bad continuity, sorted now and sounding good!!:)

There is a slight flaw in the scratch plate in that it had a slight nick in it, but hardly visable.

The action was a little low for me but a few turns and it was perfect in no time.

The finish of this guitar is breathtaking!! I have found myself not playing it but staring at it lovinly!! It realy is the most beutifull guitar that i have seen in a while. Before i bought this i checked out a Tokai SG in the same style and i have to say that the Vintage is 10 times the guitar in both looks and playablity!! realy!! And as for epiphone...forget it!! And i am not just saying that because of the price, i sincerely mean it!!!

9 rating due to having to fix the guitar outa the box!!

Havnt played this live yet, but will do soon. But i would have no doubts that this guitar could cut the mustard. It is of a great quality, hardware and finish. It feels good and sturdy and it holds a tune well once set up with the intonation. Strap pegs are good, just give them a slight tightning. Only problem with an SG is the generic urge to self destruct by throwing itself head first at the ground! But with a good strap this can be over come, just keep one hand on the neck!!

10 rating coz i cant fault it!!

NO comment. Althought i do know that JHS are good to deal with and are very customer focused.

Been playing for nearly 20 year..(OMG) and i have to say that i was suprised with the quality of this guitar. I got this guitar realy because it was cheap and i wished to add to my arsenal. I told myself thats its a cheap guitar and warned myself not to expect anything great, so as to not be disapointed i had prepared myself for a cheapo crappy sg copy. Oh how wrong i was! This is a wonderfull guitar, well made and well finished. I had an issue with the electrics, but that was sorted quickly. I also had an issue with the tuners, but i got used to them and infact they add a little character. But thats it...no more issues!! I love this guitar dearly and find myself treating it better than my Dean or Gibson!! I just cant getover how good it looks! I do wonder what other people are on about because i really cant fault this guitar.

If this guitar was lost or stolen, i would cry..!! Then i would sort myself out and get another one and one spare for the loft!! I am going to buy another on of these but in black!!!

I hate it when reviews state "Good for beginners" and "good for the price"

I would say this guitar is top notch for any level of player and as for the price, i think its way better that any other Sg i ever played at 5 to 10 time the price!!

If your looking for a SG in either a copy or other and your funds are low or your just not into names and you aint a snob, then i urge you to try this baby out.

You will love it!!

Black Gloss finish,2 volume 2tone wilkinson pickups and tuners,2006 model,mahogany body with set neck.Sg looks.

GREAT sound played through little epiphone amp.Played it through a fender bass amp still sounds good.No unwanted noise.

Well setup well finished everything works as should.

Have an older model pre Wilkinson despite near fatal drop still plays well,looks good.

never had to use.

I hate reviews that state for the price its this or that.These are exceptionally well built guitars,i own 2 of these sg`s and will buy more suspect the Les Pauls are just as good next on my list to try.

OK a review the ALLNEW H.C. Way

Click the question marks to see what the questions are.

Poly Finish and Cherry Red >It has some grain or grain filler lines which are nice looking.
It's an SG Copy.
Bridge was standard abr1 copy changed to nashville copy [more solid]
Tuners slightly weak Kluson copies [Wilkinson Deluxe chrome.]
Neck fat-ish but nice SG-ish neck. Low med-jumbo frets rosewood board.
I think it came with leaflets,allen keys and a cable.
Made in early 2006 and inspected by MR TS KOAK, who needs to get his eyesight checked and his prescription upgraded a tad. It's probably Chinese at this price.
Standard Sg fare . The Wilkinson hardware is ok but not a major upgrade from the previous model which i owned in 2003-4.
I've had the thing apart for all kind of mods and i can tell you that
1.) It???s the whitest "mahogany" I've seen, but, I aint a woodfettler.
2.) The pickups are not originally alnico and are filled with half a pound of wax. They are Alnico magneted now I???ve changed the magnets.

Getting some wax out and ridding it of the ceramics is a good move.

It's a heavily modified project and the thing is now equipped with push pull coil taps and other strange wiring.

As standard it's very good for the price and very playable.

I'm a home recorder and play at semi-pro level, I used to occasionally play with good/pro players when I played out. I play most kinds of music from Pop, Chic through James Brown, Howling Wolf, Led Zep and even Sabbath,Metallica type sounds. Usually settling on late mid 60s type guitar sounds.
I mostly use this though either 1 or both of my Behringer Compressor pedals into a Korg Ax processor to four track to PC sound card. The fx unit and recording programme have enough Patch/VST jiggery and pokery to make a ??70 Telecaster copy sound [virtually (ha!)] like an old Lester.

Even with the mods it needs extra compression to get a little nearer to the area of Gibson sound quality, if you could bung in some 490s, well it still wouldn't be quite a Gibson, but I???d take that over an epi.
That said with the coil taps, replacement pots and caps I can get a very versatile range out of it.

As standard it was ok and would score a solid 7 straight though my little Vox. 9 is how it is now.

Setup was fine, intonation was bearable, nut needed cutting a fair bit action needed to be raised, if anything. Apart from dry frets that needed playing/wearing in it was the most playable guitar I???ve seen come out of a box.

A few flaws.
The right hand side tuners bushings are glued/pushed/bodged/wedged in at an angle, which is just mostly visually annoying and doesn't interfere with anything.
The woodwork on the back of the neck is dodgy looking.
The bridge stud on the bass side was slack to the post.
That's about it. not much different than my 2003 one. I think the 2006 seemed to sound a little better as stock though.
I keep it around as I love the neck profile and general utility of the thing.

Seems OK. I've had it since April [ 7 months] and it's been voraciously modified and been soldered on/in a lot. SO the finish is tough ,taken a few tap and dings without really marking it,it is a guitar and not a drill press so if you don't go industrial on it it should last.

The stock pups,pots,nut and bridge could go for reasonably priced improvements. It's a nice cheap guitar. Going by this AND the last one I'll say it's tough enough.

Cant help, never used them.Their website is getting a little better though

Been playing around [argh!] 28 years. Own Gibson,Yamaha,Epiphone and Cheapo AXL and VOX gear. I have only played one or two Vintage V100s,perhaps i'd have liked them more,but, on the whole I've got a great versatile beater guitar for me,for under ??170,including all the parts I've used on this little project. I'd like to have a look at a cheap semi (TA50 or HB30) but i'm not sure i could justify the budget for that after my mods and not having much money to spare.

You can get these for ??140 in a shop and ??120 online. It almost seems a shame not to , watch out for those wee flaws though.

Considering what it costs,and looking what the competition offers, a high 9 here.

I bought this guitar in black about a year ago. i bought it mainly at the time because it was nicer to play and looked far better than any of the other guitars in my price range. Its got 2 Wilkinson humbuckers and seperate tone and volume knobs. mine has 22 frets withe the classic gibson shape trapezoid inlays. Im not entirely sure about the wood its made of because ive never looked into it but im guessing its mahogany. it has the same short scale as a real gibson which i like as the strings feel a bit tighter and more solid to play. the only bad thing i can say is that when i was transpoting it in a guitar bag it hit something and the pickup selector switch snapped in half. its still usable its just shorter.

I love the sound of this thing. with the correct volumes and tones of the pickups u can really sound like Tony Iommi. that is with both pickups selected, both at full volume, the bridge pickup with 0 tone and the neck pickup wth full tone. Alot of people are moaning about the fact that the sound it puts out is too bassy but i prefer it that way. I love the really bassy distorted sound u get on the overdrive channel of my marshall MG30DFX. The ound is just so poweful yet still so easy to make out the notes.

The finish is beautiful. it is a really glossy black which i really like. the only problem with this is that it constantly seems as though it has fingerprints and dust all over it because the finissh is just so shiny that if you dont clean it it is relaly easy to see the grime on there. When i bought it from the shop, i got it home and the action was very good and very easy to play. But still i managed to get the action even lower for even easier faster playing without any noticable buzz. It plays better than an epiphone i have played that cost twice the price. infact its played better than Deans ive played. it plays about as good as a Fender Telecaster i played. really nice guitar

This guitar will easily withstand live playing. this guitar just loves to be played really loud. the strap buttons have never let me down and feel very solid, not rattling or wobbling at all. i could easily depend on it for playing live but would still take a backup because knowing my luck id probably break a string. One of the only downsides i can thik of with live playing is taht the guitar is VERY neck heavy. Theve got the strap button in the same place as a gibson SG because it is a copy but i think they should have improved on the design rather than copying it and maybe put the strap button at the end of the top horn rather than behind the heel joint.

Never used it. never needed 2

Overall this is an amazingly goood quality guitar for the money and i would recommend it to anyone. for my next guitar i am considering another vintage but a les paul one.

I think they're korean, probably.

Please bear in mind the price is quite low,no guitar is perfect and objects in your rear view mirror...

A Cherry Red SG copy- This is a 2005 Wilkinson [revised model] version. came with a setup sheet, and some other papers about caring for your guitar.Tune-o-matic bridge, two Wilkinson Alnico [and you CAN tell] humbuckers with separate tone and volume controls and a three-way toggle switch.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

A point i feel i should mention : I got this PARTIALLY due to the fact that it's bridge pickup is the correct space away from the bridge according to an anal article i read in uk guitar magazine about LP Juniors, pre 57 vs 57 on.

<<Comic Book Guy>: Okay, here we are, alt dot nerd dot obsessive. Need know spacing bridge to pickup polls Gibson, specs.

The bridge pickups polls are the exact distance from the bridge that my Gibsons are, unlike my Epiphone. that helps the bridge pickups tone along a bit.


Yeah ok,ok, P90 VS Humbucker/seth lover/Jumpers for goalposts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Neck is Very Gibson to play, Wilkinson deluxe tuners which are good and stable.

It's got what an SG should have ... it's featured. featured similarly to some Italia guitars too. the new hummers are V.Good and will worry an epiphone. Body and neck are mahogany. Resonates well.

Minor niggle; frets are very LOW, this makes for easy playing,but, will they be gone in a year or two??. At this price you can flog it and get another unit. Setup is adequate out of the box.

Worryingly there was sawdust on mine as i extracted it from the mailorder packaging, this seems to have come from where the bridge humbucker rubbed on the wood as there was sawdust on the plastic on the pickup. This unit is okay I bought mail order as it was cheap and i had one before. if you're buying one first time, get it from a shop, you should get minor niggles taken care of there and then.<</Comic Book Guy>.

It's cheaper and better than the "pre" Wilkinson ones i have seen played and owned. I bought this to mod,but, this review will be done over the week or so before i modify it.

Yes,they're generic alnico5 PAF copies,but,are more than adequate - especially though small amps and REMS effect units which is where i use it. It won't beat Duane or Erics SG through a big valve amp..don't try it. Replacement magnets/coils or entire pickups are the order of the day if you want ,er "harmonic complexity" like a Gibson or more expensive guitar has.It gets near to Angus/Chuck Berry tones.

Will ROCK or even RAWWK,er,dude.

Paint nice, Except for the back of the neck where you can see the headstock,neatly, join to the neck and the fillet where the truss rod was put in -it looks a dogs breakfast -so don't look at it, and finish is too good to niggle over.
Colour is BRIGHT cherry Red,as it is described.

Neck profiles is very Gibson in feel.

Action acceptable. Top 3 strings [unwound] were even intonated ok!
Standard setup is a bit "tight" so it loses a point.


As on my earlier vintage the tunomatic post doesn't fit the bass side hole, loses another point. frets are medium jumbo in width,but are also very low as mentioned. A good alround setup here.

Cant rate it,but it feels tough. I had the older one for around a year and that fell over once or twice and was ok. These have a very "gibson junior" "vibe"/feel, Ie a cheap, good sounding, quite tough, basic, unit. Isn't that what juniors were supposed to embody?

No experience of them except a ho-hum website with small pictures of their guitars at www.jhs.co.uk .

I've been playing too long to bother with too much shite, 20+yrs since i switched to electric. It's a very fine Gibson copy for the money. Very much try one before you buy it.

I own,Gibson,Yamaha,Epiphone,Harley Benton [passable,cheap] and AXL[good+cheap] guitars. Small Vox amp Korg modeller.


Not sure I love the low frets everything else can or may be changed. As it is it is a perfectly fine little unit. I still don't see much need to spend #230 plus on the Epiphone equivalent...although I do hear that Westfield make some nice guitars :) .

The price VS what it does VS Compared to my Gibson means it is still a good bargain.

These things are pure value,all round.

i dont know what year it was made but it has a mahogany body rosewood fret board basic 22 frets tuno matic bridge nothing special at all !

the pickups in this are wilkinson own they are good but not great they are missing the wow factor the rythm pick up is so bassy it makes my amp vibrate and go really distorted and i have a marshall 65 valvestate unless thats my guitar not everyones but i dont think it is.
At the moment it is having an emg 85 put in it but because the wiring in it is so weird and cheaply done the wiring instructions to the emg dont work with it which is really annoying. oh well no big problem:)

nothing special it looks like a gibson without the name on the headstock the neck felt fine no blemeshes of scratchs it has a nice coating of laquor to stop scratchs gettin in pick ups were set fine but like i say rythm pick up is bassy action was luckly perfect! you can get right up to the 22nd fret easily no problems for them ripping solos!!

this guitar feels unbrakable i fell like i can trust my life on it and when i have done gigs i have not felt the need for a backup guitar.i put somestrap locks on it but i wouldnt say that i needs them. only problem was that i needed to change a tuning peg as it started to rattle they are klusion and as you no are known for going out of tune and braking!i think it broke inside once again no big deal could still use it jst annoyed me wen playin without an amp,it has recently started to do it again on a different tuning peg but oh well !!!!

never needed to ring them or talk to them took it to a guitar shop and got its tuning pegs done!!the warranty i think was 1 year i think!

its a brilliant guitar with an emg it will be even better!!!its a beautiful trusty guitar! its a good beginner guitar or if you like the gibson sg but cant efford it go for one of these just as good as the epiphone but not as expencive!!!now in the business of saving up for a gibson les paul classic its going well

This is a follow up to a previous review.

Still sounds great after a few years, I switched to heavier strings and reversed the neck pickup so it's less muddy. The wiring could do with changing, as could the pickups, but that's really not worthwhile on an instrument this cheap. I'm rating it a 9, but this is a 9 FOR THE MONEY. At lower volume through cheap amps it sounds as good as anything. But when you start playing through all valve amps the pickups start to show their *RELATIVE* inadequacy(still good for the money). If you put Seymour Duncans or something in this guitar, they'd improve it vastly...BUT, there are better pickups out there, and dropping any more than #60 per pickup into it would be quite silly I feel.

Finish has withstood some unfortunate incidents in places, but not in others. I have bare wood on an area along the side of the headstock about an inch long spanning the full width, and some bare wood down by the strap rear button, also a pot came loose at one point and is secured in place by none other than Mr Blutac. If you don't know what that is....it's like this....thing. It's similar to play-dough in some ways, it's used as a non permenant adhesive. I've re-set the intonation since I got it but it's still good if a little buzzy. Tuners still work just fine, strings stick in nut, but only because I was too lazy to file it when I switched string guages.

I must say this guitar has taken one or two knocks. The damage to the headstock and just near the "butt" of the guitar would have occured whatever model the guitar was considering how they occured, but one thing that does piss me off is the neck. Over the two and a half years...well a little longer than that really, it has warped. Not enough to make it unplayable, but enough to make it so any good set up is out of the question. You're either going to have the thinner strings too high or the thicker ones too low. It's a shame that this guitar has to be relegated to the role of "Guinea pig" but it *IS* a cheapy when all is said and done, and as a stater instrument, it has been worthwhile. I plan to practice wiring, pickup changing, tuner changing, nut changing, in fact all those wonderful aspects of guitar hotrodding so I don't fuck up a good instrument.

Not to say that when you buy it it won't be a good instrument, but I don't think this guitar really has had the longevity it should have. But then I can't expect more considering it cost #170. Maybe I'm unlucky, but THIS vs6 has a warped neck and 2 sizeable chips and a pot that had to be reattatched in a bizarre manner.

No idea, I've not had need to get in touch with them. The warranty is out of date by now so with regards to the warped neck etc I just have to live with it. I'm sure had I an issue, the shop I went to would be glad to help since Pete's Music Emporium is a small buisiness and when I went there he was very helpful. He even made sure I tried this before I decided to buy an epiphone which though a worse guitar in several aspects would have set me back as much as #200 more at least. I can not however speak for Vintage.

Well for my overall rating, it's gone down to a 6. I've got more years of experience playing under my belt since I got it, and I am a much better player.

There's nothing I wish I had asked before playing it, but knowing how it's neck turned out might have detered me somewhat. Although from what I can gather my guitar is a unique screwup in this department.

If it were stolen or lost, I would not bother getting another one since at this point another entry level guitar would be just stupid. I really like Gretsches and if I had a gap I'd probably get another one of those, or a Gibson SG with soapbar pickups.

I like that it's withstood some measure of abuse, I hate that the neck bloody warped on me. It's not a giggable instrument, it'll do in the bedroom but it's inexpensiveness has gradually manifested over the years (both of them) that I've had it. I don't know if my standards have just got higher or the guitar has got worse(well it has, the neck warped.), but as a starter guitar it's fine, but I wouldn't reccomend one to a preofessional musician. Great SG clones ARE available however, if you see a Tokai play one, they rock as hard as a Gibson SG for less money.

Is there anything I wish it had? Yeah....a straight fucking neck so I could give it a could set up. I can't stress how irritated I was when I realised. I was sat there adjusting pickup height, and as I looked down the guitar it just...didn't look straight. So I got down and looked along the neck...and lo n' behold it was bent. Bah...it's not like I paid lots for this so I won't complain too much.

I don't want to discourage people from buying this because for #170 it really is the best entry level SG style guitar you will find, but be aware that after 2 or 3 years you'd be well advised to look elsewhere.

this is a really good sg copy, much better in my opinion than an epiphone copy, and much better value. 22 frets, double cutaway body gives great access to the top frets, and the thin body is comfortable. hardware is what you would expect from a far-east manufacturer, and the machineheads are hard to replace as no one sell them, I had to replace them with different ones. but the bridge layout is great, and keeps the strings in tune for ages.
the neck is thin and fast, and is as good as any epiphone.

the pickups, are potted with wax, which means that you cant remove the covers. this may have been done, because the pickups are cheap, but they dont squeal at high volume, and give a lot of beef.
the tone is good, considdering the materials used. but the neck may move a bit when playing, which makes it sound like a tremelo, but its not recomended you try it.
the volume controls are not very responsive, so you dont have much scope for tweaking the sound. but the range of sounds you can get from it are varied, but I only really like to use it for Metal playing, which it does well thanks t othe fast neck and humbuckers.
Fantastic for its price!

the action is pretty good when I bought it. you can lower it without too much problem, thanks to the fully adjustable bridge, but you do get some string buzzing, but when you are using a high gain setting on the amp, you dont even hear it.
all of the hardware is well fitted, and only the output jack needed adjusting. but there are no parts that have caused problems. I was surprised as well at the quality of the finish, it looks great and looks better than an epiphone sg.

providing you make sure that you tighten up the strap buttons, and output jack, then this sg will withstand relentless playing. and the electronics arr not a problem. the only possible problem may be the neck joint, as it is not a bolt on neck it may come loose, or break. but a guitar like this is versatile and reliable.

I have had reason to have it repaired, but a good music shop could help no problem!. and if any hardware needs replacing, you may as well invest in better parts.

at first I was a bit dissapointed with the guitar, as the materials looked a bit cheap, them I remebered that the guitar IS cheap. but I would rather have a Vintage Sg anyday rather than shelling out for a slightly better Epiphone.
the thing I love about this guitar, is that despite the cheap materials, it still feels and plays better than something 3 times the price. this guitar would make a perfect 1st guitar, and once you compare it to anything else in this price range you wont find anything better.

basic but well put together and plays simply better than epiphones and gibsons i have tried and owned for many years

i play punk inspired fiddle rock and i thought it sounded great until i put seymour duncans in...then it really came alive....previously i did not realise the muddy sound it had by comparison to seymour seth's. so that must be testamant to how good it is in its basic no frills format. only problem now is it hums too much....i think its the cheap pots and circuitary which i can change.

cant fault it ...except the fret wire is rubbish and it will be replaced when it wears out...which after 12 months it is already in the bottom 5 frets.

i have giiged and giiged and rehearsed with it...no bother except like i said the fret wire sucks

not needed it

buy one and dont waste your money on epiphones
