All user reviews for the Epiphone G-400 LH

Made in Korea, tune o matic bridge (Gotoh changed to a) handle type 60's slim tapper, frets quite low (this is not jumbo) so fast sleeve. 2 volumes, 2 tones, a 3-position selector (all changed by Bare Knuckle kit), 2 microphones changed by two Bare Knuckle Black Dog (Alnico V). I still played more than 10 years without changing pickups and electronics, and it was the road! Score for the original gear: 7

UTILIZATION

Channel pleasant, access to acute amazing superb ergonomics of the instrument. Imbalance body / neck is attenuated by mechanical origins (light), vintage, type tulips oil bath, and a good wide leather strap. Shovel lightweight, less than 4kgs. One easily obtains a rock sound. The G400 is clearly not made for the clear, but then I pushed the door open. This is not what is asked. And this is even more true with the new pickups rocks squarely and accurately!
Extremely simple to use and good ergonomics: 8

SOUNDS

This is quite the guitar I was looking at the time, she followed me long, and with careful maintenance that I bring is always in the forefront of my shovels! I play rock, stoner, more vintage sounding, it sounds good. The medium is identified (I hate hollow medium) and Bare Knuckle pickups really make with the beautiful.
Its fat but also specific overdrive rather clear round and crunchy.
I play with an amp Tiny Terror Combo 12 "is the ideal couple. Question fact, I immediately think of two that make superb overdrive shudder Germanium Od (15h - 14h-11h45) and Big Muff Pi (15h - 14h - 11h) all on a crunch pronounced ^ ^
I love his sound for rock but negative is the sound clear not really clear (but it is not made for this). We use a shovel to rock mainly mediums very present (for jazz there are better ^ ^).
Sounds: 7 modif with my microphone (original: 6, it lacks precision and finesse in the settings)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost 15 years. Being left handed, I have not tried other models before choosing (this is my first real scratch, after having a Jim Harley lp for 2 years ...). What I like most is its lightness and ergonomics, it plays very easily, but you still get the small handle when you have big hands! A good quality / price ratio for the Korean violin is more than correct, the frets are solid (and I bend a lot solo!), They are of origin (only surfacing was done recently). This is really a guitar worth the upgrade. Given the basic agreement was not great (nut changed) and the case of the bass strings at the bridge frequently (changing jumpers at the time by graphite). Some notable defects but can be easily adjusted in time. So, not perfect, the G400 fits perfectly to the user. Chinese versions of today really does seem heavier, however, the hardware seems best at the time.

My overall opinion before making any changes: 5 (but it does not reject when we know we can improve the instrument, I really felt my account and not the price., It is too easy to note because the price is low That ... does not seem relevant!)

22 frets, 2 humbuckers, a 3-position selector, 2 volumes, 2 tones. In short, as the true SG!

UTILIZATION

Fun to play, SG shape facilitates access to the last fret. Fairly easy to play sitting down, once you get into the habit.

SOUNDS

Small Epiphone pickups are versatile, but do not like a huge saturation BC Rich for example.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this guitar in 98/99, it always pleases me greatly. I especially like the half-shield, which gives it its beauty as opposed to plates full of late model or Gibson.

At the time I thought to have paid a little expensive. But the left-handed models are not legion, are not big fan of Ibanez forms, and not having enough to buy a Warlock, this choice was necessary in itself!

In short, it's a great guitar to start with the attitude and more!

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for 6 months, despite a tendency to be easily dsacorder is the only default I found him! lgre is, do not too shattered the right shoulder, and especially it is beautiful !!!!!! I tried the fender (caca!), lag (FRO), casseroles and a few different ... I chose this one last deal was a les paul epiphone gaucher.le choice of 400 g was Contents impossible in comfort and lgret. I will still purchase rve same had I found a studio gibson gold left.
you're left with résumé, you 500euros, you want a panel of its INTERESTED, from light jazz to saturated fat well and if the form you like me, dark eyes closed. when trying the same as before does not sound like any guitar, and we are never safe from a dung.

UTILIZATION

The handle is really enjoyable trs! Frankly for beginners is an excellent choice: the highs are super accessible (hard to beat in this area), in short, there is nothing like his first solo to learn small shreddeur budding.

As many have noted on this site, guitar slumps into play dbout ... It's not the end of the world but it is essential to keep the stick in hand non stop.

What I dplu after several years of use is that the violin rather well couraging overall finish is marred by a trs summary at everything hardware. The screws dlogent dgommant while slowly but surely their thread, once the media microphones and company begin to vibrate all over. I do not know if I'm the only one to have been a good but rather of a me.

Finally, the microphones that can be described as aisment low end trs well spent on my Korg Pandora PX4 multi effect, for against a tube amp Distortion channel they bring in too many blows and starved of precision.

SOUNDS

The sounds repeat what we expect from a low type SG MODEL: trs Rock Sound, Classic Rock, Hard Rock or even as lightweight bluesy rglages. So be a rather well my style of play is a short guitar dveloppe generally quite low and little mdiums and treble, with its warm color trs .

For soloists amp lamp on, they must be old not to the volume of the microphones back on pain of having a sound too loud. 1 / 3 of max is not bad I think.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years and this guitar is really nice for beginners.
I dplore most is not great finishes.
The pickups are possibly change depending on your expectations, but hey I think 349 is for a quality price ratio rather honorable.

In some DPIT its default, I think I do it again the same choice of purchase, it's the only guitar that I really believe in this price range.

Its a guitar with a handle makes Taiwan College of Mahogany 22 frets and the body with two humbuckers, two tone, two volumes.
Resemblance to a large great conctruite sg.

UTILIZATION

The neck is actually easy to play for a shred prdilection treble accessible.
But I do not recommend it for beginners but as plutt deuxime guitar is a guitar that if you play too much tt we may not hang at all!
The pickups are plutt not bad for the price but they leave DSIR, but gives a good sound on the big amps.

SOUNDS

The sound is a SG we must understand that it is a guitar that is made for the hard rock that can be used to rock and mtal but it's a guitar that is very s restricted in his style of music I think it's a good guitar but it's a guitar hook that is impractical the state of mind of guitarist crash it well and the bass are deep guitarist who plays well above must finally be my opinion that is violent in his game

A good guitar sound good but I think we really need a good amp if it's not gnial (the sound is not stable) against a good amp no problem.

One type of sound that belongs to the rock is a sg.

Overall I love this guitar but when you go up too much saturation it becomes much worse.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 months and still nothing to say.
I wanted an SG and the question is not possible to me it very practical in the studio, or even on scne in RPET I love it and the price is trs advantageous choice would be the same again.

The options for left handed guitars are very limited and it is very hard to find mid level lefty guitars. The Epiphone lefty G-400 is a good guitar even though its color options are greatly limited compared to the right handed examples. The design is based off the early 60s version of the Gibson SG with the small batwing style pickguard. The G-400 has been produced for over 20 years and has been a standout of the Epiphone line. It is less than half the price of a Gibson SG but it is more than half the guitar. The G-400 comes with Grover tuners on the headstock of a 22 fret neck with a rosewood fretboard. The fretboard is bound with rosewood instead of plastic. It is made from mahogany and has a veneer for the cherry finish. It has the classic Les Paul electronics setup with dual humbuckers and dual tone and volume controls with a 3 way toggle pickup selector. I am glad they chose and early 60s model to do instead of a later one because with the small early 60s pickguard you can see much more of the pretty wood.

UTILIZATION

With the dual cutaways of the SG design the upper frets are very easy to reach. It has the Gibson 60s profile neck which is the preferred profile for guitar players. In the 50s Gibson necks were very large and referred to as baseball bat necks. In the 60s Gibson switched to a slimmer neck design. This slimmer design is what the G-400 has. One problem SG's is that the neck is mounted far out on the body and with the body being thinner than a Les Paul the guitar is slightly neck heavy. When you are standing up and playing the neck may want to drop down and you may find yourself holding the neck up.

SOUNDS

The guitar has the classic SG sound. With the mahogany body you get a full sound and since it is slightly thinner than a Les Paul you get more high end bite on your sound. The medium output humbuckers provide the ideal tone for the classic rock sound. So many classic tones were produced with SG guitars. AC/DC has used them for decades as has Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath. If the pickups are not heavy enough for you a set of Seymour Duncans can really wake the guitar up.

OVERALL OPINION

Finding a good lefty guitar is a pretty hard thing to do and finding one that you can afford is even harder. Epiphone is better than most companies but their lefty selection is limited. I am glad they make all their major models in left hand orientation. It is only fitting because one of the most famous SG players Tony Iommi is left handed himself. If you are looking to be like Iommi and want to play an SG left handed this is pretty much your only reasonably priced option.

The Epiphone G-400 is a cheaper version of Gibson’s famous SG. The G-400 features 22 frets, dual Alnico V humbuckers, two sets of volume and tone knobs, and a three way pickup selector. The G-400 has a fixed bridge, which in my opinion gives this guitar a lot of sustain. The neck is extremely fast, it is made of mahogany, like the rest of the guitar, and comes with a beautiful red finish.

UTILIZATION

The neck on the Epiphone G-400 is amazing. Thanks to the SG body, the super high frets are just as easy to access as the top ones, making soloing all the more fun. The guitar is extremely light, which is great for playing shows with, and it looks like an old school Gibson SG, who doesn’t love that? Thanks to the neck having such great action, you can get a great sound without even trying.

SOUNDS

The style of music I play now is mellow/soft, however when I used the G-400 I was really into heavy rock, and it was wonderful for getting that kind of sound. I used it with an Epiphone Triggerman 60 DSP, and I got awesome rock tones, with super long sustain, which I loved for soloing. When you play the G-400 clean, you can get a very nice mellow sound, but turn the gain on and the guitar really comes to life. You can bend a note and let it ring for days. My favourite sounds that the G-400 produced would be the lead guitar sounds; it’s a great guitar for soloing.

OVERALL OPINION

I actually do not own this guitar anymore because I gave it to my girlfriend for her birthday; however I still play it when I’m over at her house. I did own the G-400 for about a year and a half. My favourite part of the G-400 was the sustain it produced; this guitar can hold a note forever. My least favourite part would be the fact that about after a year of having it the bridge sort of fell apart, not to bad though because I was able to fix it myself, but it was still a hassle. I had played a few guitars before the G-400, but once I touched it I fell in love with the sounds it could make. For the price this guitar is amazing and I would recommend it to anybody. I loved this guitar, if you are looking for a great low cost rock guitar, buy this one!
