They're great guitars!
Not a total shred machine or anything but as a general rock guitar they take some beating.

Yeah, not something I'd buy myself but being a bit of an Angus Young fan years ago I've always thought the SG's looked kinda cool. It plays ok; any idea what they are worth?

EDIT:- The reason I was concerned about the fake thing is that if you look closely at the logo, the 'O' doesn't connect and also the dot for the 'I' is in a funny spot. Any thoughts on that?

Although... I'm kind of impartial to not caring about parents and presents, because the most I ever got was literally, a snickers bar on my birthday.

At least you got some satisfaction. I hear Snickers really satisfy!

I completely disagree with all this "well they should do research before they buy their kids a guitar. And if they get screwed, oh well." While I agree with doing research, if they look on ebay, and find a k-7 knockoff, and go and google "ibanez k-7" then they will find info on the actual k-7 model. They may or may not notice that the ebay fake, and any pics on google that they find look noticeably different, but if they see that they both say "ibanez k-7" They might think the ebay one is a different version or something and just go "oh well the older model is cheaper, so I can save a couple bucks" The fact that the guitar only costs like 2 bucks should caution them, but they might even see the shipping amount, and think "Oh well that's a fair price then" It's dumb to think that the shipping cost makes up for the 2 dollar opening bid, but not all parents trying to do something nice for their kids is l337 at ebay.


Any guitarist who knows about ibanez, or gibson or whatever, should know the difference, but a parent who isn't into guitars, can easily miss it. Saying shit like "oh well, who cares. All I got was a candy bar" is just plain ignorant. It sucks that that's all you got, but really why should there be any lack of compassion for parents trying to do something nice for their kids, and get screwed, because of what you got on your birthdays?

You're a rather bright fellow for such a young lad sir.
