Bad Cat Vintage Standard Les Paul Copy Shengze Instruments 2021? - Iced Tea Burst

This Bad Cat Vintage Standard reminds me of the Chibson guitars that have been surfacing of late, only it is much nicer in some ways and is really more like a nice Epiphone than a Chibby.

For one, the finish is pretty rad - it has a really authentic looking top with a fade as if it has been out in the world for decades.  The fretwork is better than the Chibsons I've played as well.  

Overall it is a decent guitar that sets up well.  Maybe this is a good backup guitar for you for gigging, a platform to goof with new pickups etc, or a gift for a new player in your family.  

There are no issues or repairs, and the truss rod has room for future neck relief adjustments.

No case, but we'll pack it right so it arrives safely.
