MGR/Liliana « Epiphone SG 310 »
Published on 12/26/10 at 15:00I play an off-white Epiphone SG 310 electric guitar, I've been playing guitar seriously for almost a year now. Before that I played bass for 3 years. I am rhythm guitar in my band. I am a huge fan of classic 80's and 70's rock--Def Leppard, AC/DC, Van Halen, and all that. Also, Argentine Rock (El Rock de Argentina) is another favorite, bands include Ratones Paranoicos with a bit of Stones influence, and Soda Estereo, a pretty popular Argentinian band. I also love alt rock (counting crows, etc.)
I paid $250 for my SG, I bought it on Amazon I believe. I bought it because I had been playing an old acoustic for awhile, and since every other girl plays acoustic, I wanted to play electric--electric guitar has always been a lot more intruiging to me, and there is so much more one can do with it. I still love acoustic though.
I love how it looks, and the sustain is pretty good. The pickups are pretty nice but they could be better. This guitar has no real electrical difficulties aside from the plug-in spot always coming loose. However, once you screwdrive it in place, it should stay. It doesn't really affect its performance though.
I do not like the strings it came with (of course). Also, the sound of the guitar is not as 'full' as some. You really have to do a lot of comparisons between guitars to figure out what sound you like best. Compared to an old Gibson Les Paul I'm borrowing from someone, my guitar has a twangier, lighter sound that I don't like as much--it is not as full and quality sounding as the Les Paul.
It has good electronics, I've had it for about half a year and it hasn't done anything yet. The pickups are nice, they're kinda loose but they work really well and the rhythm/treble sounds are very distinctive and work well.
If you're a beginner, it's a great guitar, but if you want a better sound and quality, save up a little more.
