I've been to the "real" Auctions again but this time I stayed away from the pawn shop "Strat" copies, (though I did bid on a couple of actual Fender Stratocasters - but they ended too expensive for me). What I did bid on - and won - was a pawn shop SG copy; the ESP LTD Viper 50 in cream, (which may be a limited edition colour?) and a JHS Vintage resonator Guitar, now I just have to drive up and collect it.

After a looooong drive and having to dodge the tanks the ESP SG is very 'Eavy and the unseen case is very good too, (though I think it is actually for a Bass - better still as I didn't have any bass cases). 

I've had this a few years now and though it's a nice Guitar, it has never been the one I turn to when I want to play the guitar. I got it as an SG copy even if the offset is a bit bigger than a real SG but since I now have the real SG and I need the space it's time for it to move on to pastures new

Unfortunately it didn't go to the person I wanted it to! I used HERMES as a delivery service and one of the staff stole it!! After 4 months of trying to get HERMES "customer services" to talk to me they finally admitted they had lost it but they won't even refund the cost of posting it!!

Word of Advice, Never Use HERMES/Evri they are a thieving pile of shit - I know I won't use them again
