HOW MUCH ! I've tried one of Sonic Pro's guitars and I sent it back the same day - a waste of time and money, as well as the fact that their customer service was poor. I don't believe they are still in business.

You can get an Alan Brason guitar for that and I know which one I'd rather

Probably worth £550 - £650, even with all the so-called "upgrades", provided that it PLAYED WELL. So he's had the neck radius opened up -so what?
I would want to actually PLAY it before parting with the cash. Why do Buyers assume that because the Seller says it plays great, it does. You wouldnt buy a second hand car without driving it first, would you?

These were being sold from between £250 - 400 and I know Robbo bought one and took it straight back. Not sure what price he paid, but he said it was as poor a guitar as he's ever had.

At the end of the day it's a "Bitsacaster" and will only ever be worth the value of the bits no matter how good it is

Hi, interesting thread. I wonder why people on this site seem to think that if a guitar is not Fender it is no good. I had a Sonic pro for a number of years and it was very good, well made and played and sounded great. At the moment I have a Squier Classic Vibes 50's guitar which is nothing special and the trem is total c***p. I think the guitar on ebay is overpriced and £500 would be more realistic.
