How does it play? Construction, neck fit and paint job? Is the action sky high or medium or low?
I don't sell my guitars
I really have NO clue how it plays since it came last night
I would worry about the Construction, neck fit and paint job if it was made in Mexico or anywhere else lol...........JT

Damm I have been looking at KINDA New 2012 Starts on Ebay(too me they are used lol}for
$800 - $1100,,,I think the lower priced ones must want to get most of their money back?But if they Paid $691 like I did for a New 2012 American Standard Stratocaster,I am sure MOST would not be selling theirs?But since many over paid I cannot blame them if they need the money....
Here are my pictures and think its a pretty cool looking guitar............JT

That's a great deal! If I didn't get this SG in cherry with a one piece body PMed for $684, I would have said you got the best deal ever.

I don't get what you are saying a one piece body,I thought all Gibsons were 1 piece?
I got a Gibson flying V with hardshell case for $707 while Samash wanted $799 and everyone else wanted $1100.
Yep there are many deals,you have the money you can buy whatever you want,myself I have bought 6 or 7 guitars lately...(cash is king babyyyy}.JT

Yeah, I got lucky on that one. No, not all Gibsons have one piece bodies. In fact, most of the sub $1500 models have 2, sometimes 3 piece bodies. In the case of a recent LP special p90 I sent back, it had 4 pieces, very mismatched also. It weighed 11 pounds, told them it was defective because it was too heavy- they paid return shipping. I love it when anyone pays less than cost when dealing with online companies....so good work there!

I took delivery on a tri-color/maple during the end of December, and was _really_ impressed with the build quality and finish. I cannot find a single flaw and the wood grain is beautiful. My only complaint is that the setup is a little high around 12 fret and higher, which is probably the norm from the factory. A truss rod adjust didn't quite do it, so I will probably take it to my favorite luthier. I had been putting off buying an American Standard Strat, but it is such a fine looking and playing instrument, I wish that I had jumped on it sooner.
