Hello,
I'm new to the forum. I have been playing since I was 10, since the early 60s. This thread caught be eye.
The best SG copies on the market IMHO are the Wesley brand from the UK. They appear to be third shift epiphones re-branded but the quality is slightly better as Wesley's are set up (finished?) in the UK rather than by chinese workers. I bought one at the end of last year and it plays lovely with no fret buzz.
They are also half the price. !
Cheers,
Keith
