All user reviews of 4/5 for the Epiphone SG Special

The guitar is made in Indonesia or China, it has 22 frets, a 3-position selector, one volume and one tone control. It has two double micro epiphone.

UTILIZATION

To me, the handle is less enjoyable than a Les Paul (thicker in hand) but is still correct. The guitar is a bit heavy and you can feel its weight quickly weigh on our shoulders. So use a good thick strap. Access to high notes is very simple. the right arm is badly stalled.

SOUNDS

To play rock and hard rock, it's perfect, I tested only two days after my friend is the purchase, he did not change the strings: they are needed. The sound is saturated iréprochable for a guitar of this price. I therefore recommendable to hardcore enthusiast. Are clear and are corect but ...

OVERALL OPINION

It's not my guitar, so much the better because it does not please me much. I still handling it really nice for solos: it is a sg quoid! I can not find no comfort in Revenge for Rhythmic mode trip. The large parfaie is to learn how to fashion "angus".

The Epiphone SG Special is standard SG that is aimed at those who are interested in getting an SG, but can't necessarily afford the Gibson version of this classic guitar. I'm not sure where they make these guitars, but certainly outside of the USA. The guitar has two humbucker pick ups, as is what you'll find on most SGs. The guitar has tone and volume knobs and a three way pick up selector for toggling between the pick ups or blending the two of them together. I'm not too sure on what type of wood this guitar is made out of...

UTILIZATION

The Epiphone SG Special isn't a difficult guitar to play at all, as it's actually got a pretty nice feeling neck. I don't own this guitar as I've only played it a handful of times, but my initial impression of it was that it's definitely got an adequate feel. I used to own a Gibson SG, so I think that this hold some weight in that even after playing a Gibson for years that this version of the guitar was still easy to play. It's not as easy to get a nice sound from this as it is a Gibson SG, but it's still a very good sounding guitar overall.

SOUNDS

I don't think that you'd mistake the sound of the Epiphone SG Special for anything other than that of an SG, as the SG series definitely has it's own sound to it, which is one that is thick and round and perfect for rock n roll. Like all SGs, the Epiphone SG Special is definitely best suited for playing rock where you're using some distortion. It's great for both lead and rhythm parts, but generally speaking I like this SG best for getting super chunky sounding rhythm parts.

OVERALL OPINION

If you want an SG but can't afford or justify spending the money on getting the Gibson version, the Epiphone SG Special is definitely an adequate replacement. I definitely wouldn't recommend it for professionals, but for beginners and intermediate players it will definitely get the job done. The price is extremely reasonable since it's an Epiphone. So while certainly not as nice as a Gibson SG, the Epiphone SG Special is just fine for those on a tighter budget...
