Gents,

Has anyone done business with these guys; http://www.rareelectricguitar.com

They have a couple of nice replicas available on their site, I'd be keen on a number of these, if its legit...

Thoughts / experience?

Hmm...doubt they're legit : http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=1401339.

I reckon it's a just a complete scam site. You'd be better off trawling aliexpress looking for something similar. Not that I advocate the chinese knock-offs/replica's...I tried out a chibson (fake LP classic) a while ago and it wasn't bad after someone had thrown in some decent pups, wiring and a setup. Still wasn't as sweet as the owners Zakk Wyle Epi.

If only I could get my hands on an angus young sg...

But it's basswood :-\

something more like this Guitarfetish mahogany SG as a start would be cool?

Hmmm... Could be a nice project...

The pic is one of my projects...4th in the que, which is slower than the SAPO :-[

It just keeps on getting pushed back, mainly as I can't decide what I'd like (and I prefer strats/tele's). At this stage I'm doubtful I'll actually get it started. Got a bunch of parts, a chunk of mahogany to test grain filling & finishes on but I just keep on getting project strats (another one this weekend - sigh).

Originally I was thinking a natural finish a bit like...

Tough life that... ? Id love to build something along this line, but it has to have the lightningbolt inlays.

Never ever buy from this guys. I ordered two guitars this year. One came after 8 months, the other after 2 months. Both have the same problems:

- Bad quality
- Nut radius incompatible with fretboard radius and different to bridge radius as well (total disaster)
- Cheap electronics. Sound fails very very often.

Cheers.
