This IYV IVS-300 is a good SG style budget guitar. I'd compare it to Firefly FFLG and I'd prefer this one over the similarly priced Epiphone SGs unless the brand name matters to you. I completely understand if that's the case, but as a fan of budget no-name brands, I also think you should give them a try if you haven't before.
