The bigsby-style SG copy:
This particular SG is a rare high-end Stagg model as it comes fitted with a Bigsby-style tremolo. The overall build quality is pretty high and I didn't have to upgrade or replace anything on the guitar. It's got a set in neck with no neck-dive effects(!). The hardware and electronics are decent. This guitar is a value for money instrument!
The neck:
The chunky Stagg neck has 22 jumbo frets that's close to the Gibson 50's neck profile. It's got no fret buzzing issues with a medium action. The nut was also well cut and the tuners are decent Grover copies.
The tremolo:
The bigsby style trem is well built and I had no problem setting up the guitar and make it stay in tune. This floating trem is probably the easiest one to set up right. Floyd and 2-point style trems are much more difficult to string up and tune.
Pickups:
The pickups and electronics on this guitar are definitely better that the stock Epiphone BHC ones and their output is closer to a pair of Gibson burstbuckers. It think these stagg pickups are ceramic ones rated at 10-12K(neck-bridge). The tones are sweet with plenty of mids and a nicely controlled low-end.
Verdict:
Other SG stagg copies like the goth/pitch black one were not at the same level (they had fret buzz and electronics issues) but this one is so much better! It's a decent guitar that plays and sounds good.
I 've played and serviced several Epiphone G400 and Gibson SG guitars and I can tell you that this Stagg SG copy is pretty close to the real deal (Gibson SG standard), even closer than the Epi G-400 models!
