I have owned two of these over the years, and in my opinion are some of the best copies around. Especially if you can get them cheap enough. Stock pups. After pup swap - Bridge is a Dimarzio Evolution. The neck is an old German Schaller about 8.5k
I agree completely! I have had a few of the Artist Pauls, but haven't had a chance for an SG. For some reason, people overlook Samicks and consider them cheap "copies" when they built them under contract for the companies they are supposed to have "copied"! And they can be cheap too! And welcome to the forum!
