I own a Gibson SG 67. It's a lefty that I switch righty :)
I bought it for 250 CND$ in a small guitar shop. I've had that guitar for 9 years now.
I have trouble with buying full price. I mean if you have the money and are willing to spend that much money go head but look around for used guitars first.
My friend bought a Jackson Randy Road series. Cost him over 1000$ cnd and it's now sitting in the corner of MY house. He doesn't play anymore. I won't complain but he spent a lot of money for nothing.
