I think they were made at the same factory as my no-name SG which is a really nice guitar equal to an Agile or such

LPC copy $169 I love the split-parallelogram position markers(like an ES-175)

The semi hollow's transparent pickguard is pretty aesthetically pleasing to me. Not too interested in the lpc copy, but the split-parallelogram position markers give it a different character.

There is a natural one too

The natural one looks nice, but sadly semi-hollows are not the kind of guitar you should skimp on. There is a lot of work that goes into building one so I can't see how for that price it would be a serious guitar.

The les paul copy on the other hand looks quite cool.

Thanks for the info.

Here is another one. It's Guild Starfire III copy for $199.It has a mahogany body and neck




I just wondered about these because the same seller has an SG that looks like the one I got and that is a really nice guitar. I just wondered If all those guitars were made at the same factory.

Yeah,it's crap.

Honestly there is such a difference in building a good semi compared to a solid body, I've played a few of the import models including a few of the chinese fakes (often branded as 'Gibsun' etc...) and they're really quite poor guitars. Often they're very heavy and really don't offer anything a decent semi hollow does, apart from increasing the likelihood of feedback.

In my opinion until you reach Epiphone level guitars, I wouldn't touch a semi-hollow.
