anzoid Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Had one of these and liked everything about it apart from the relic job - just looked nasty up close - like someone really half-arsed it. Probably a bit lame to say that's what put me off the bass, but in the end that was what killed it for me - it looked tatty rather than road worn.

Norris Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I can't comment on basses but my guitarist loves his thinline telecaster copy and users it regularly in his pro band. Well constructed, light as a feather, cheap as chips and sounds great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painy Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 [quote name='Norris' timestamp='1450184740' post='2930334'] I can't comment on basses but my guitarist loves his thinline telecaster copy and users it regularly in his pro band. Well constructed, light as a feather, cheap as chips and sounds great [/quote] Same with our lead vox/rhythm guitarist and his Vintage Les Paul Custom. He's been looking for a 'proper' Gibson for about 2 years now and has around £3000 to play with but still hasn't been able to find one that he prefers to his Vintage!

Fisheth Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) Having a look at one of these tomorrow, due to someone selling one locally. I'll report back with if I decided to buy it or not! Edited December 20, 2015 by Fisheth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 My guitar (6 string) is a 'Vintage' SG in translucent red finish - superb instrument for the money (my brother bought it 2nd hand for less than a ton). Took a bit of setting up, but now plays at least as well as the genuine Gibson SGs I've played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I looked at these and was put off by the relicing, not being a fan of such things. Shallow of me, perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisheth Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Doesn't bother me as long as I don't take it out of the house I think, as only I would really look at it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
