Members DarkCide Posted February 16, 2007 Members Share Posted February 16, 2007 There was lot's of talk about these guitars but I never read a review about them and the talk stopped pretty quick. This looks nice. Pretty cheap too. $199 http://www.spgguitars.com/guitar_17.html Are they decent guitars for the price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 4nkam Posted February 16, 2007 Members Share Posted February 16, 2007 How difficult is it to paint it yourself? It's not hard at all as long as you take your time and have patience. Truly the hardest part is waiting I've painted a few guitars before the whole paintyourownguitar thing came up, then I bought some of his ebooks and they were even more helpful for what I didn't quite know.

Members mrpenguin354 Posted February 24, 2007 Members Share Posted February 24, 2007 The headstock is Gibson shaped...I had a picture around here somewhere. Binding goes all around the headstock and neck. I haven't been home yet to play it, I'll just post again when I get home on the 6th. I think I'm going for a brownish/red for the back and sides and a blue or green for the top. It'd be sacrilegious to paint a top like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be sacrilegious to paint a top like that Mine is ok - feels a little...i dont know...it feels like the truss rodd and neck are really small. And the hardware isnt first class. For instance i have a massive hum coming from somewhere but dunno where. Not pups, not wiring to switches/knobs etc. We think its the jack. BUT all that said - they are cheap, look GREAT and they really do play quite nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
