Is a Copley a good brand guitar?
We bought a Copley SG-style electric guitar about 6 months ago. It was new from a store, but offered on eBay as a “scratch & dent” item. The components are good quality, but it was not put together as well as it could have been. Pickguard screws had been overtightened, distorting the plastic, and some fret ends were sharp and needed filing. After fret end filing, it plays fine, and the pickups sound good. It has a nice translucent red body finish showcasing the body grain, and the headstock is angled back for good string routing. Excellent value, we paid about $120. If you can provide a little initial TLC, I recommend Copley as a good brand for budget-conscious musicians.
