I got this on a BIN last night, price was fair & if truely in the 9.8 total condition as stated it was a nice score IMHO. I am a big fan of the VH-1's they are my favorite HB. I have a Gibson R8 to compare & a Burny Sg w/ Vh-1's, a MIJ Tokai gt . In fact my Vh-1 Burny SG as far as raw tone is better than my Ginson R8, doesnt sustain as good as the R8 , but tone wise is is unreal through my Soldano Astroverb into Marshall 1965a 4x10 cab. straight in , no effects. I am excited for sure, 650.00 shipped.I have studied MIJ clones for about 2 years now so I think it is a real mij without dought. Thanks for looking.
