I remember that some one here wanted an SG 200. There is one on ebay (Link)

Whomever it is, make yourself known so I can giggle at you.

i badly want an es320 but they are expensive, i'm starting to thing moving out is a bad idea

Wow that's quite ermmm 'something'.

That was me. (suck it Haze) If I weren't totally skint right now, I would consider it for sure.
It's pretty rare to see those pop up with the pickguard AND the bridge cover.

Thanks for the head's up, WTR!

Is that an elevated pickguard?

I will say this, in comparison with many modern Gibsons, at least this one's neck has a volute.

Would rock.

they did that during the 70's, now they don't.

Why did they stop? Too labor-intensive?

I've actually been wracking my brain trying to figure out why anyone would buy this. For less you could get an Epiphone that's better, or a Gibson faded for the same that's also better. Appraising it purely on quality, it's probably a <$100 guitar. Like sub-Squier Bullet level. And it's not really "vintage" in the spirit of that word.

I doubt it's worse than the faded series. Those are bloody awful.

I should've clarified - Faded series with a fret dress and the nut fixed. Or the Epiphone faded that is just perfect from the factory.

I actually like the way these look. I would even buy one if they weren't so expensive.

Looks like a D-grade japanese plywood copycat.
GIBFAIL.

I think it looks great. Other sources for the SG200 check out although it doesn have a junky fake vibe to it.

I wanted one of these. Played one at GC two weeks ago, but that one was priced at 1800. And was in desperate need of grounding.

^^^Batshit insane pricing. As much as I like these, I will admit they're pretty cheap. There's just no way even a dead mint one that doesn't look like it was carved out of a coffee table with a chainsaw, with all the parts intact could ever warrant such a pricetag.

that thing looks tasty as fuck, I actually really like the sound of those gibson single coils, but those prices are stupid ass shit. I seriously would believe you could find a legit sg of at least 70's vintage for 1800 if it was banged up a bit and you'd looked long enough; how the fuck can someone try and sell the gibson joke version with busted ass wiring for that much? It's like asking twice as much for a late 70s musicmaster routed for triple humbuckers as you would for a jag.

I like it.

$577 was not a bad price for that one.

The one I played was a little different. I'm pretty sure the control plate was metal. I could be wrong on that. But the main difference was instead of a three way toggle, it had two jaguar-esque slider switches.

Edit: Yeah it was metal. Here's the picture from the guitar center listing.
