The Rally guitar you see here (GL-300) is an outright LP copy but there are subtle differences; the sublime but tasteful alteration would be that sharper, more inward forearm cutaway (it's very ESP Eclipse-like, compared to the average Gibson LP). As it is, Rally guitars are anonymous in reputation but the sub-$400 price would have you wanting one after you actually try it out:
- one of the best neck/ fret attention to finish in this price bracket
- great default pickups (whatever they are, they sound criminally similar to Duncan '59 model)
- smooth & functional tuners
- great action out of the box; the model I tried was unwrapped, tuned & handed over to me & it was play-ready
- concern: equipped with a set of .009 set by default which made the tension floppy & necessitated frequent tuning after some bends
List: $370 (yes, it's that affordable...)

Hi.
Did you own any of this Rally guitar? Does it approximate 'that' LP tone?
or maybe, put it this way, is it a good idea to own this if I expect an LP?
i don't own this guitar, tried it extensively @ SV. yes, it's a worthy LP clone in terms of feel & tone.
Just wondering if Rally guitars come with serial numbers?
Hmmm... no idea. I didn't check.
it doesnt have a serial number...
