Wow... thats a really close copy, how'd they get away with that?

Neck binding for under $200? I think I'm in love.

I'd still go for the junior, it's a much rarer beast. Everyone and their mama has an SG standard clone.

Thats a sexy guitar. Then again they could put LPB on a n actual turd and I'd still coo over it. I actually really like the fish hook headstocks... is that wrong?

necks looks sweet and the hardware look solid (tuners, etc).

I wonder what the electronics are like. Are there samples on the site?

How do these companies get away with
a) making total rip offs
b) selling them for that price? I mean, shit. Those are expensive parts in some cases.

I really think this is hot in an awkward way. Sort of like indie librarian looking girls.

Hrmm.. they sell dano products, I'm going to write an angry letter and demand free goods to make up for it.

a) I have no idea, those SGs look almost dead on.
b) 5 year old indonesian craftsmen.
