    Not bad, if you do not expect a gibson

    Epiphone SG SpecialPublished on 01/02/13 at 18:46
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    I bought this guitar at the gibson day in Lille, my eyes were popping when I saw this Epiphone at that price, and myself being a fan of Angus Young.

    This is a bass guitar line, do not expect something exceptional:
    - Bolt mahogany
    - Alder body (check)
    - Kill one pot pretty funny when used ^ ^

    MECHANICAL CHANGE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!!

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is not unpleasant to my taste, certainly there are better but I have not noticed any discomfort when I play even shred.
    access to acute ... is by definition an SG access to acute par excellence! : P

    MECHANICAL CHANGE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!!

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is not unpleasant to my taste, certainly there are better but I have not noticed any discomfort when I play even shred.
    access to acute ... is by definition an SG access to acute par excellence! : P

    Weight: it is a very light guitar, really light, especially when you have the habit of a good Les Paul pulls us down the shoulder after 3 hours of snooze it ^ ^ pic of the nose, not very useful when you want to rest our left hand, but a guitar is supposed to play with two hands (at least the major part of the time ^ ^)

    For good sound typical of SG: everything should be thoroughly! : P both knobs fully this guitar course is not accurate, but it gives her! mind games with her knobs it is useless

    SOUNDS

    Are they suitable for your style of music?
    I'm plugged blues / hard rock, a good AC / DC on a good distortion, or a good solo Santana faces a rhythmic blues that tells us so much!
    What I like about this Epiphone is that we feel its presence when playing in a group. It is very aggressive! With a good amp (I use a vox Valvetronix personal) she is not shy! But do not know it, if you want a clear, precise forget it.

    I personally had a Gibson SG Special, I'm currently using a Gibson Les Paul and the rhythm for a good hard rock, where what you want to hear is the sound of the windows vibrate.

    If I have to compare it to the Gibson SG Special, found comfort playing Gibson (after some adjustments to the string height ^ ^), but not the sound.
    If I have to compare it with respect to its price and competitors, I throw myself on it blindfolded.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a month, I keep her for his aggressive and dynamic. But do not expect miracles, it is only 150 euros! for that price I think it is really not bad, you can not expect better for SG! on the other hand, if I should redo this purchase with the experience, I'd at least my cheapskate and I would take a higher range, the style of the Epiphone G 400. But it is in the context of 150 euros ^ ^

    PS: All the guitars in the world are not worth the fingers good guitar ^ ^ is not buying a Gibson price of a car that you'll necessarily sound good, it will make little (s) happy ( its) this guitar.

    I paid £120 new for this guitar from www.GAK.co.uk - quite a steal for a guitar that to all intents and purposes is a near-on exact replica of the Gibson model.

    For the price you pay, it's fantastic - easy and smooth to play, looks gorgeous, and sounds brilliant.

    The construction could be a little better - it's not falling apart by any means, but when I recieved mine there was something rattling round inside the electronics cutaway - it hasn't affected anything, but is still a little disconcerting.

    See above.

    For £120 you're getting a guitar that looks like an SG, plays ALMOST as well as an SG, and sounds ace. I reckon this would probably be best used as either a practice axe for a pro,…

    For £120 you're getting a guitar that looks like an SG, plays ALMOST as well as an SG, and sounds ace. I reckon this would probably be best used as either a practice axe for a pro, or a main guitar for intermediate musicians, you won't find any better in this price range. In fact, you probably won't get a better guitar for less than £200.

    I was given this guitar from a friend. He bought it in hopes of being a "guitar hero", but found it harder than he thought.

    Nice tone and surprising quality. You get a nice from the humbucking pickups, although I chose to replace them with some spare vintage style Gibson pickups I had around. The guitar I have has the sunburst design and it is quite nice. You can't get a Les Paul style guitar (made by a division of Gibson none the less) for the price (even though I did not buy mine) any better.

    The tuners are crap. They don't stay tuned and they are not at all adjustable. I replaced them with a set of Grovers. Also the 3 position switch had to be replaced, but it did not facilita…

    The tuners are crap. They don't stay tuned and they are not at all adjustable. I replaced them with a set of Grovers. Also the 3 position switch had to be replaced, but it did not facilitate a standard three position. I had to peel of the Les Paul style ring around switch and mount it side to side. It actually works and it is rigged so that when the switch is toggled it is in the direction of the pickup that it is now using.

    See "Please describe what you like about the unit:"

    Nice guitar, not bad for a beginner. If you are going to buy a guitar and you don't have a lot of dough to spend this is a good guitar. Just remember to replace the tuners!!

    Gibson SG Special

    Epiphone SG SpecialPublished on 11/26/03 at 15:00
    I bought mine used, the guy said it was about a year or two old, I don't really remember. The guy asked $500 for the black Gibson SG Special and Peavey Bandit 112, knowing that was an awesome deal, I got him down to $300. Anyway, I got it home plugged it in and couldn't believe I finally owned my favorite guitar.

    I love it, great playability, great sound, great sustain, great tone, especially compared to the cheap guitars I already owned.

    Not much I don't like about it, except like someone said in another review, the kind of cheap looking tape around the pickups, but that doesn't affect anything. The only problem I have are the tuners, one of them was already broken when I bought it, but …

The only problem I have are the tuners, one of them was already broken when I bought it, but they tend to come out of tune with a lot of bending, but not too badly.

    Very solid and LIGHT. I've accidentally dropped it and it's been hit a couple of time; it's withstood a lot of abuse, I'm sure even before I bought it. I take good care of my equipment, but accidents happen, and this guitar can take a beating.

    I definitely recommend it, it sounds, looks and plays great. You might find a deal like I did, but even if you buy it new and retail it's a good price for what you're getting.

    Epiphone SG SpecialPublished on 10/02/03 at 15:00
    I bought this guitar as my first electric about three years ago from musicians friend for about $130, discounted because of the color. I ordered it from the phone.

    I was skeptical about this guitar at first, but when I got it , i was amazed. Now I have a $700 Schecter, which is way better than this, of course it was 6 times more. Although, I do use this guitar for recording albums in my band, so I love it for recording. I also love the cheap humbuckers, because I play grunge (Nirvana, Soundgarden etc.) so i get lots and lots of feedback from it.

    I dont like the body, because it is very light, and made of cheap plywood. The neck is light and cheap, and the guitar is not balanced correctly.…

    I dont like the body, because it is very light, and made of cheap plywood. The neck is light and cheap, and the guitar is not balanced correctly. Other than that, its fine.

    The quality shows that epiphone has blind workers, because everything is loose out of the box. When and If u get this guitar, take it to a shop right away. The pickups are not good, however, if you are in a grunge band and feedback is your friend,they are great. The tuners do not stay in tune, so make sure you tune them

    A final comment is to use a distortion pedal, like me, i use a death metal dist. pedal.if i had this guitar stolen, i wouldnt buy another one.

    i Bought this guitar at a local guitar shop for about 180 dollars because it was the best i could get for my money.

    I really enjoy this product the way it plays and everything, i especially enjoy the tuners and how smooth the tunning nuts are. the neck is smooth and very easy to slide on and makes songs easier to perform.

    the only thing that i do not like about this product is thati did not get it sooner

    the quality is very nice it has a black body, and maple neck, very classy and very nice looking

    if u have about 180 bucks and are begginning i highly suggest this guitar, it is easy and fun to use. it was deffinetly a good buy

    This guitar is well made and has excellent electronics. It is well balances and easy to play. Fast action.

    The guitar doesn't stay in turn very long. I have to tune it just about every day. Could be me??

    The Special is well made and has a lot of quality for the price you pay. It has a lot of the features of much more expensive guitars.

    For the price you can't beat it. If you are looking for a quality guitar for little money, this is the one you are looking for. It has all you need to put out some fine sounding vibes.

    Won this Guitar at an ebay auction for $125

    This is a well made guitar for the price. Quality pickups and the neck seems to be very well built. It has good balance and is easy to play. I will keep this guitar for a long time. It will probably out last me!

    The guitar has to be tuned a lot. I usually have to tune it before I practice every day. Also I did have a little probelm with where the cord plugs in but it was an easy fix, just a bent connector.

    You know, for the price I don't think you can find a better made guitar. It is well made and plays fine. Just be sure you have a quick tuner available. I surely would purchase this guitar again now that I have owned one.

    I bought it from a friend at about $180 (a pretty good deal if you ask me)

    It's really comfortable, it's got a fat tone and a lot of sustain. sounds great live
    I know it's supposed to be a cheap guitar but i think it works great.


    can be a little bassy, you know, the low tones are predominant but that sounds good with distortion.
    I use a boss ds-2 and it rocks.


    Haven't found any major flaw in it

    I like it, it's not the best guitar in the world but works great if you don't have $2000. Even if you have $2000 it should be on your stack.

    - Mahogany body half and half je_sais_pas_quoi; Bolt of the same wood as the body, 22 frets.
    - 2 Epiphone humbuckers, 3 position switch: run, Chevallet, handle + Chevallet
    - 2 knobs: 1 volume, 1 tone
    - Not input jack on the side but on the table, which requires an angled jack to be comfortable

    UTILIZATION

    - The handle is fine and clean gibson: round. it gets off on it or hate it, that's in gibson / epiphone. I found it enjoyable. it is fast and comfortable. access to acute is excellent, it's just an SG there instead.

    - Its shape is reminiscent of the devil with two horns, I loved it. SG: copied but never equaled. it is not heavy at all (about 3 pounds), but a little unba…

    - Its shape is reminiscent of the devil with two horns, I loved it. SG: copied but never equaled. it is not heavy at all (about 3 pounds), but a little unbalanced, it goes forward a little when playing standing. but rest assured it is done quickly

    - Turn the sound ....

    SOUNDS

    - No mystery, double Epiphone is no tip / top, normal is an entry level guitar. the microphone is good for the serious blues or hard, while the microphone is more acute directed to the punk sounds clean or funky rhythms. the definition of micro is not super accurate and lack of dynamics. to ring the beast, favor a change of pickups (DiMarzio, Seymour Duncan)

    OVERALL OPINION

    - This is my first guitar, I have replaced the original pickups with Ibanez INF1 and INF2 pickups and the result is already better, but with DiMarzio it should.

    - I like his mouth is undeniable I.NI.MI.TABLE!

    - I have not tried other scrapes before, in the midst ac / dc donf (before, during, after school), I had an SG .. favorite! and I keep it as a second scratch if something goes wrong and for sentimental reasons.

    - The finish is good overall, but the connectors are so so (knobs, cables), and mechanical weaken a bit after a big pull. nothing devastating, just the entry level.

    - The quality / price ratio is nice, 1600 francs) the time, I trove it is not fair to poor cam!

    - With the same budget I will take this guitar, SG POWEERRR!

    UTILIZATION

    I would make a fairly quick test, because guitar is not really (I'm bass player), I would not want to induce some error.
    This is the second guitar I buy, the first was an opportunity and Floyd had become difficult to manage over time (and I have not floyd).
    The handle is very nice, I do not do solos, so I do not need special access to acute, but they are relatively accessible.
    In terms of weight, I find it slightly lighter than my old guitar in any case (immitation Start), the guitar is in good shape, ideal for playing seated. Against by careful setting of the strap, it is not fixed in parallel with the handle, but perpendicular. So I strongly recommend the use of Straplock (ERNIE BALL STRAP LOCKS, without the "button" above which may be in contact with your stomach and then to win).
    The strings are the strings that come with low-end, so it's a little frieze, but once replaced is happiness, at least for a musician for whom music is a hobby.

    SOUNDS

    I do a lot of rock (Eiffel pixies to name a few), and I use it to dial.
    Used with a preamp Behringer MIC200 TUBE ULTRAGAIN and connected to a PC via an EMU 0404 with Cubase Guitar Rig 2. The simple pleasures ... it is only my opinion!
    I use the adjustable micro "treble" for the rhythm and the setting "Rhythm" for "solos" or the sound clear.
    Regarding the two knobs, this is volume 2 buttons, wired in series.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 2 days. I have played more than 10 hours on it since I have.
    I love the lock, that's what SG, the varnish is slightly transparent, which reveals the wood underneath and that is the most beautiful effect. (Not as pronounced as the photo of the product though!)
    Before I really hesitate to buy it, at first I wanted a Gibson Les Paul Standard, but considering the price ... and the weight of the Gibson ... can be for a future purchase.
    For now and after 2 days of use, even intensive, it is a little hard to know what this guitar can give time. I would take advantage at worst to make a new comment.
    At the moment I do not regret my purchase.

    Sincrement, I use a Marshall Valvestate 100w, so with pramp a lamp, and honestly it sends ok ... well this is my first guitar, but I made unanimously at the his face has an Epiphone ES, a Squier Afinity a Tenson Start, an Aria Pro II Start, a pacifica base in neck pickup ... I'm not convinced on the other hand-

    SOUNDS

    It's perfect my style and my level (beginner) ... I play mainly AC / DC (yes, we do not choose a coincidence ^ ^ SG). And on my Marshall VS100, I want the road easily.
    So as I said, I play on an amp Marshall Valvestate 100W (VS100), a hybrid amp lamp. I have no effects pedals, I have only my footswitch.
    In fact, its me my IDAL is a gain to half (just under), middle and trebble a background, bass 1 or 2, and Volume 3 ... and I l. .. m ' off.

    I never use the clean sound ^ ^

    OVERALL OPINION

    I possde this guitar since April 2007 ... this is my first guitar. I make my debut on, and I am fully satisfied. I'm progressing quickly.
    A small thing, the clean sound is really dirty ... I think therefore I prfere disto ...
    I recommend it to all beginners ... also little question, as given that mine is now 9 years old, she does today because I manufacture differs test Epiphone SG special one the other day and I thought she sounded less ...
    In short, this guitar is gniale ... when I have the budget, I will turn to a Gibson SG Standart Cherry ... but I would keep the piphone a cot ...

    Excellent value for money

    Manufacturing in Malaysia - Bolt - 22 frets - 2 humbuckers - For the price, do not expect miracles either to -
    Big negative, the mechanics are changing as quickly or you'll spend your time to give you.
    Take this opportunity to change the strings at once - Choose from 10-46 preferably.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is nice some people are too thick, not me at least it suits me.
    For weight, it is correct, as all the SG tends to pitch down, but hey, here is a guitar plays well with both hands right?

    SOUNDS

    This guitar is ideal for beginning to scratch the old Hard Rock to see the blues, the sound is excellent in the clear.
    It is perfect to play the AC / DC among others. …

    SOUNDS

    This guitar is ideal for beginning to scratch the old Hard Rock to see the blues, the sound is excellent in the clear.
    It is perfect to play the AC / DC among others. Especially if you have a marshall
    The distortion is good but more enjoyable with the bridge pickup.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 3 years, given its price there's not much to complain about, it's ideal to start a guitar without breaking the bank. The finish is quite correct on this model.
