I paid $150 for it. Then I paid over $100 for installation of the bigsby and bridge ripp off! The I paid well over $100 for licensed Bigsby, bridge and locking Grovers and locking Gibson Strap. Then I bought a drill and stone to widen the key holes and install tuners. So this altogether probably costed me maybe $400.00
This is a very beautifully cherry stained discontinued model. There is are some small scratches on the back of headstock. It must of been a factory blem that I bought on ebay, cause there is a tiny 1/2 centimeter long touched up area on the body by the neck. The guitar tech had to pull out bushings and plug with wood to install bridge. He touched it up with stain to match with rest of guitar, but a put some black rings over it. They are easy to remove if you dont like them.
This epi sg jr is way better than the epi lp jr. The reason why is more wood provides more bottom end/sustain. I used to own both and the epi lp jr. sounded like a banjo compared to this.
$250 shipped to lower 48 or if that's too pricey and you prefer to just buy locking tuners and bigsby later it would be only $150.
Bigsby told me to use only a tunamatic for this whammy, but honestly think that roller saddles would be way better for string life.
The guitar plays and sounds good.
The Kool part about of Bigsby is it's so retro, you can pull up a half a step or push down and it will stay in pitch. The locking mini Grovers 18-1 gear ratio gives you infinite tuning abillities every time you turn the tuners. No locking buttons or nuts to mess with.
Sorry Crappy WebCam so the pics dont really do it justice.
