The guitar is production model, build quality is great, minor issues, nothing that cannot be fixed by a professional setup. Many blame this vibrola system for tuning instability, I didn’t experience anything annoying or different than with other tremolos systems. Decent clean tones but the crunch sound of this guitar is to die for!

Extremely pleased with this instrument. I have owned a les Paul an es 335 but never really got on with either. The SG is beautiful, nicely balanced, good range of tones an an excellent neck profile. This is definitely a keeper. Delivery time was a little bit longer than if it was shipped in the UK but the price It was retailed at was an absolute bargain.
