Bought this on a whim....

What do the folks out there think? I thought that it was too good a deal to pass up - hope that I am proved right when it arrives!!

Any Riff Raffs going cheap?

Baritone?
Cool!

That is such a bargain, nice one.

That's really cool!

I think that the 'B' means that it was originally a USA intended model - we will see when it arrives!

Excellent choice and a bargain as well. I hope you don't have a back problem 'cause they're heavy.

Ratrod - I have an 89 Les Paul Standard that weighs a ton, so I am hoping that this will be not THAT heavy! I am more worried about hiding it from the missus........

It was nice knowing for the short time that it was, lol..

I quite like gibbons, although they're not as amusing as chimps.

Looks a great price. Is it one of the bolt-on models?

Philly - not sure..... I think that is it a set-neck one but I admit that I am taking a bit of a punt on this one - doesn't say in the ad - worst case I guess that I should be able to flog it for at least what it has cost me.

I just did a quick search on the net and found a pdf catalogue for it here:

looks like it is a bolt on. Still looks like it will be pretty good tho....

Hide it at my house if you want. :lol:

TBH at first I didn't really like it that much, but the more I look at it, the more I do. Now I like it a lot. Would quite like to meet it in the flesh.

Good find! Might need to do a quick in and out job back to Evil Bay once it arrives..... I really want an SG2000 but they are going for lots of £££ even if they are great guitars

Tone Monkey - down boy!
