Epiphone G-400 SG Collection Electric Guitar, Cherry Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been playing guitar for 15 years now. The most "valuable" guitar that I own was actually built from a kit that I bought from Carvin. I used to work at guitar center, so I've had a chance to mess around with the most expensive guitars available to the layperson. Yes, the $3000 Gibson's and PRS's were nice. I'm not good enough to really justify the purchase of one of those though... And honestly, I couldn't say "hey, that $3000 Gibson Les Paul really sounds $2300 better than that $700 Epiphone Les Paul."
Anyway, I needed something with a fixed bridge. After a few months of researching and trying out guitars, I settled on this one because of the price and features. $350, gets you a guitar made of solid wood says a lot right there. When it arrived, the action was perfect, and it played surprisingly well. I couldn't find any real flaws in the workmanship, and the Grover tuners work perfectly. The only complaint I'd have is the pick-ups, but they're stock pick-ups (I'd even replace Gibson's stock pick-ups with Seymour Duncan's or EMG's) that I had already planned to replace.
Ultimately, if you're looking for a budget axe that plays well, looks great and sounds great, I highly recommend this one!

A true icon guitar, the SG was originally a successor Les Paul model from '61 to '68. This edition of the prized 1962 SG boasts the power and merciless sustain you expect to shake you all night long. It's constructed of a Mahogany neck glued into a Mahogany body with twin Alnico Classic Humbucking pickups.

The Power and Merciless Sustain You Expect.

Angled Headstock Unlike cheaper designs, all Epiphones feature a 14-degree headstock that gives you more pressure at the nut and so you get more sustain with less tuning hang-ups caused by "string-tree" gadgets.
Double-Waxed Pickups Epiphone utilizes a double vacuum waxing process that ensures optimum performance. The pickup is first placed in the specialized wax vacuuming system before the cover is put in place to ensure that the wax fully penetrates to the very center of the pickup and solidifies all parts. After the cover is placed on, it is again given a second vacuum wax bath until the unit is completely saturated with wax.
Output Jack To increase reliability and ensure consistent performance, Epiphone's proprietary output jacks feature an improved contact shape and heavy-duty spring steel.
Toggle Switches All Epiphones feature our all-metal, USA designed switches for reliable contact and longer life.
Tunomatic Bridge Fully adjustable, the tunomatic remains a classic after over 50 years. Unlike guitars fitted with tremolos, there are no tuning or re-stringing difficulties. Plus, tone and sustain are improved because all string vibrations are transferred directly to the guitar.
Potentiometers Epiphone is passionate about performance. That's why their instruments use one-inch diameter potentiometers for better "throw," longer life and reliable service.
Quick-Connectors For unequalled reliability as well as ease of service, Epiphone wiring harnesses feature quick-connectors.
