Vintage SG Reviews3 Found On 2003-12-19, jay......visit my bands site...www.hitbyanambulance.tk gave this Vintage Electric Guitar a 5...(6985)
Purchase: i paid 200 QUID for this guitar from colbecks music shop........i was in need for a practice guitar and bought this in case of an emergency during a gig
Pros: i love this guitar....for the money its great and better (in my opinion) then any other guitar in its price range. This guitar is great looking and great to play. Better then any epiphone SG ive played....the guitar has a nice sound to it and can in many different styles..
Cons: well considering how much it costs..there are not many dislikes except..the feedback the guitar causes when distortion is high and the fact that the last vintage i bought had a bridge (gold hardware) that was loosing coulour but hey....its 200 quid after all and is a lot of guitar for the money.
Quality: apart from the gold coloured hardware that looks a little cheap its a solid good quality guitar...and can take a beating..and stays in tune all the time...the pickup selector switch has no snap and flips too easily .. Summary: great guitar for the money...the SG looks wikid especially with the gold hardware..and beats the epiphone....easy...a bargain..get one now!!

Purchase: Impact Music Brighton UK, £150
Pros: It has got a great range of tone which are easily changed mid-set. the style is based on a quality model so this is superb too. For the price the playability is also pretty good.
Cons: The main problem is the way the strap fits, causing a "top heavy" effect which makes playing standing up quite stressful and can cause increased hand-ache. Also I find that when played acousticly there is a very tinny sound to the guitar, but i suppose it is an electric after all.
Quality: It is very well constructed and there is no problem with the look. the switch feels a little sticky sometimes and i feel it should have more snap. The neck is not perfectly filed at the edges but this has no major effect on playing. Summary: Quite a good guitar and well worth the money,however a squier strat might be better value for money, it dependson which kind of sound you want, SG is good for rocky-treble.

Purchase: Cost £155 ($250)from GM Music,Cardiff.
I have a Fender Jazzmaster and was looking for a cheap second guitar for gigs that I wont mind if it takes a few knocks.
Pros: This thing sounds incredible.I play everything from Elvis to Black Rebel Motorcycle Club so was a bit concerned that I'd bought an out and out "Rock" guitar,but this guitar does everything.The action was superb straight out of the box,no spending weeks getting it set up right.It looks superb as well.
Cons: At this price, nothing!
Quality: For a guitar in this price range the construction is superb feels very solid.I give this guitar a 4 hour thrashing with my band straight out of the box and it stayed perfectly in tune!My fender doesnt even do that and that cost 4 times as much.
There were some tiny specs of paint missing around the edge of the scratch plate but I do mean tiny nobody noticed except me and I didnt notice for a fortnight. Summary: I really cant praise this guitar enough quite simply incredible value for money.Its a nightmare trying to find the right guitar for less than £300 ($500).If you've got a £1000 buy a Gibson,if you hav'nt don't even look at the Epiphone its twice the price of the Vintage.Ive played both and regardless of the price the Vintage wins hands down.
