The neck was OK, but the bridge pickup was pants.

They're lovely guitars, but you WILL need a pickup upgrade.

Hmmm, looking at the Gibson SG Jr., i would like it but for a 1 pickup SG £599 is a bit steep. Also i might realize i need a neck pickup!

Damn, looks like i have a long Ebay wait in order to get one of these thern, unless i get the Tokai, i'm coming around to the finish a bit now, but Twinfan said the stock pups are a bit sucky, though i would kind of expect that from a Tokai as my Explorer ones were.

yeah, to be honest that's what'd put me off as well. the pickups in edwardses, while not amazing, are good enough not to have to rush out an immediately swap. I like that because I'm lazy, indecisive and have no money haha. though i'll probably take a run to the BGE soon if I feel a bit better.

gordon smith maybe? their one-pickup models are generally around the £400 mark. nice guitars (at least the ones I've tried).

I had one but I totally rebuilt it and pimped the hell out of it:
I called it the painkiller SG - guess which BKPs went into it
It is a bit Judas Priest inspired:

Specs detailed in link below:

Wow, that was a classic?! Done a damn good pimping on that haha.

Edit: i was watching Graham Norton the other day (don't ask me why) and The Feeling came on. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=0yorcNWrb9M&feature=related

Guitarist is using the exact same SG as that Tokai, everything is the same, expect the headstock says Gibson i think haha.

Yep, the guy from the Feeling uses a Custom Shop SG Special reissue......

I'm close to pulling the trigger here, after looking at the finish for a few days now i've come round to it and it's not bad at all, i'd love to play it first but i can't :( But i trust Mr Richtone's judgment of the guitar, he told me if i could get my head round the finish then it would be awesome because it's an amazing guitar.

I always wanted a single P90 white SG Junior with the old school pickguard (like the small ones but they go to the neck aswell) but Gordon Smith said they don't do white because it's too hard to apply apparently.

He would say that wouldn't he? ;)

The only issue I'd have with the one Richtone ar selling is that the body is white but the neck binding is cream/yellow. It's quite a clash and it would annoy me.

Might not bother you though?
