The craft is excellent, particularly for the price. Overall, intonation is via the two protruding steel bolts that connect directly to the steel posts adding to the rather Melody Maker-like vibe. It means, of course, that all the wiring and pickups can be mounted to the face-plate, although with 13 screws to attach it to the guitar (there’s a hidden screw under the bridge) you won’t want to be removing and replacing it too often.Īnd while the Summit Classic SG, which we looked at back in issue 440, sported a rather nice Graph Tech ResoMax Sonic 1 one-piece “wraparound” bridge, the wrapover here is more generic in style, a heavier cast bridge with raised ridges to act as intonated ‘saddles’. These are clearly covered and classic looking with individual volume and tones, a shoulder-placed toggle and output jack below the lowest controls. The heel is left square and Gibson-esque, and the neck appears to be a three-piece construction with its headstock spliced on and a heel stack. There’s a little rear edge chamfering on the back, but otherwise we just get an edge radius to the slab body.
