Dak Lander Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 If it plays, feels & sounds good, and the price is right, buy it.

Tedster Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 They got better and better. I'd say play it. If it feels good and sounds good, buy it... "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick_dont_fret Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 Gibson uses setnecks. I'm pretty sure (I know all of the LP models do) all of them have set necks. So don't despair. What you can do to test it is to push down on the upper horn and pull up (softly) on the neck to see if it comes off. If it does, exit the store quickly, but inconspicuously. And never go back.

Gato Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 Ibanez SG's are bolt-on and not very comfortable. Personally I don't like the copy period. Since 1976 began the real Ibanez production with many original models that kicks many ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 Although, their Korina Explorer and Flying V copies (Destroyer, and I forget what they called the "V") are rather sought after, I believe. "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick_dont_fret Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 Well just kick me in the head. I forgot SGs were bolt on's. What do I care, I'm just the bass player. Don't look at me, mon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The copy was considered perfect, but the cost was less (still an expensive guitar), but the wood, hardware, and workmanship were thought to be by many, even better than the Gibson original. Hence the lawsuit. Myles S.

Gabriel E. Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 Those 70s Ibanez and Tokai ripoffs were NICE guitars. The ones built to spec. were exact duplicates of sought-after Gibsons and Fenders from the 50s - right down to the type of screws, etc. and are as good as the instruments they copied. Tokai Love Rocks ('59 Les Paul copies) are becoming quite collectable. Ibanez did make some cheaper guitars, such as Les Paul copies with bolt-on necks which are ok but nothing special.
