Modders Delight

This guitar has it where is counts. Good woods, good construction and good hardware. The pickups stock aren't bad but the electronics need some help. All you really need is good wiring harness, good pickups and a setup and this guitar will punch way above it's weight class. My V100 is my #1 workhorse guitar. It needed a little help, but not much to make it a killer guitar.

sven_beurskens

Good neck, body and hardware; chuck the electronics

First thing that you'll notice: this is one heavy piece of machinery. The hardware is good enough, body has a small blemish in the laquer near the neck joint. Nice chuncky neck, but not to big. Tuners stay in tune like they should. Electronics are rubbish though. As soon as you take of the covers on the back you see extra drilling holes and shitty finishing, but thats on the inside. I swapped out the pickups and all the electronics (including the switches) and now it's a beast.

derrick_j_lugo

Did the exact same thing with mine. Pickup Swap, electronics swap and a good setup and now my Vintage V100 is my number 1

dazey

My go-to axe.

Everything is perfectly fine for the price. The only thing that could be listed as a con is that big neck joint - i feel like the piece of wood right where the neck meets the body doesn't really need to be that large. I have modded mine with a pair of SD pickups and the guitar screams.

ozoi_the_maid

Really more gibsonish than Gibson studio line

Nice warm and mellow sound, very round and butterish Feels nice, but tuning pegs desired to be better

b166erdaddy

Cheap but great

I'm honestly surprised how much I love this guitar. The neck is great, the tone is great for a cheaper guitar, not too heavy for a les paul. I recommend it for any beginner or guitarist who plans to upgrade it

C

All right

I have the wine red with mini humbucker version, but the frets arent finished perfectly so it has its flaws and its too expensive to repair. Decent sound though.

al_wntr

Better than a 1500€ Gibson LP

This guitar is a killer. Well finished, well balanced. It only needed an upgrade in pickups and tuners and I ended up with what looks like the perfect rock machine.

official_tremors

Had it

Was a good guitar with a surprisingly clean sound but not as clean as a fender.

jimmarchi1

It looks very 'right' in the tiny pic....

goncalo_fidalgo

Amazing for the price!

I bought this guitar for aprox. 320 Euros and it is still my main guitar! Amazing for the price!

jimmarchi1

I keep looking at their 335 clone, they are so cheap and I would like to have a backup as I got rid of my mid 80s Yamaha, the neck was too wimpy....
