    I just got mine, Sunburst, it is magnificent!!! GO GET ONE, U WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED!! Style of music i usewd it for, is Rock en Español, Jazz, and some standards, pop.....It definitely was put to the test, and passed with flying colors. It is a hair on the pricey side, but if u have the bread, don't hesitate, it is BADASS! Neck is like BUTTA!!

    Hey, hey Gabor! Very cool color... I got a chance to check out the Tobacco Burst one at a Guitar Center... very nice guitar! I thought it's felt and sounded very good... dynamic and clear pickups, resonant body, and that neck is great, indeed! Very few things I didn't like, but easy to change, like the knobs and tuners... and that case is lovely! Looking forward to more videos of this... it definitely has TONE....goes from Jazzy all the way to Eleven with some knob tweaking... I like it! 😎🎸🤘

    Not going to lie, I really want to get my hands on one in person. The green one specifically is my favorite. Bet it would nail Queens of the Stone Age in C standard.

    It's a very interesting guitar, it also looks good.

    They look cool. many players find once they have a semi they can't bond with them for many reasons, the obvious is the size. Hence they do show up all the time used. If you hold out you can get the best of the Asian ones very cheap. I got a near mint MIJ Washburn from the 80s for $280.00 USD. It sounds noticeable better than the used 59 Gibson ES35 I had in the 60's. It was the go second guitar of Jazz players in NYC during the its time and it seen more gigs than their #1 guitar that was too risky to travel with or leave unattended for a second.

    I was very interested by the extraordinarily-low, tune-o-matic-style bridge which might allow for a flat neck pitch (i.e. neck angle), but the extraordinarily-wide nut would prevent me from playing it.

    Yeah…I’m staying away from everything VH…just looking at this as a guitar…not a VH signature

    I tried the SA-126 when it first came out but Returned it. It's nice but just not for me. The body was a lot bigger than i expected. It's heavier than i expected and I didn't love the neck feel. The pickups are decent but nothing special. I have a PRS Custom 24 Semi hollow that blows this away

    Was interested until I realized that is doesn’t have stainless steel frets. A modern guitar at this price point should have stainless steel frets.
