Faber guitars - can someone shed some light on these?

rico

I am on a quest for a cheapy SG and came across Faber guitars, specifically the Revival series. No guesses for the inspiration to these but are they any good?

At the price I am assuming they must be made in China. Since they are made by Faber I assume that they will have Faber hardware (which is great).

Do I take a punt?

Cheers!

wow...i have faber bridge and tailpiece on my LP...and its fantastic. These guitars would definitely be worth it. Its probably rebranded chinese Tokai with faber parts? which is still a good deal, no?

I would suspect that one doesn't have Faber hardware. By a process of elimination, if you look at the more expensive offerings they specify which Faber hardware they have, e.g. https://www.faberguitar.de/Faber-Revival-Series-LSC-P90W-GT  that SG just states Hardware: Nickel.
Ultimately though, this is just educated supposition.

I believe that the cheaper Faber guitars are made in Korea which is by no means a bad thing these days.
