UTILIZATION

First of all what this guitar is j'adoooree in the handle ... round a little, not too late, and above all access to an acute perfect! (Normal for a SG but good even when its a pleasure ^ ^)
I did not weigh the vehicle but it is really lgre, no problem standing up to play for hours without burning the shoulder ..
Moreover, some criticize the fact that the pic of the head scratching when it is loose ... Its been a little over a year that I play with my SG and I do makes me even more that she has this (very small) default ... and then when you play yours on the handle so it goes ^ ^

SOUNDS

I play a little bit of everything (mostly metal and rock) .. I play on a Behringer GMX 210 ...
J'obtient a wish and its fatty trs sympatoche in distortion but the point is the sound ngatif plain ...
I really want to change the pickups but my budget allowed me the time ... I think with the carrment of Gibson or Seymour you really s'aprocher the quality of the Gibson SG in sound ...

01/06/2007 edit: I changed the pickups in my rcemment piphone by Seymour Duncan! SH1 and SH4 to run in bridge (the classic ^ ^) Both splittable! I took the opportunity to change the knobs by CTS and change the capacity by orange drops! So it s just fantastic! Dj I found that for the price it was doing really well this small but then the SG has become something crazy! We keep a good characters of SG and lose the draft cot! SH1 with the clean sounds are fantastic (splitter or not adpend kind of clear sound is desired) With the SH4 is trs plain fun as well as a little drier than the SH1! In crunch / overdrive / disto the two microphones are doing great! I now play on a power engine 60 of 21 tech and ToneLab SE home vox (a change of behringer ^ ^) And I now have all the sounds I want with my sg and my strats I miss can be more than a Les Paul .... not the same price! ^ ^ So the silent note of 8 with the old pickups, it now goes 20 ... 20 ha are not, well I will bin 10 then: P

OVERALL OPINION

So I use it for over a year and I'm still mad as much by the style of the guitar (you must admit .. she is beautiful is not it?! ^ ^) And jouabilit ... . This is an excellent instrument to start with and in addition it is a product trs volute, I do not dailleurs Sparer me ... The report qualitprix is ​​excellent (not quite unbeatable, even when you pay the small logo Gibson I think XD) The only sad it's just that after a while the quality of micro leaves adsirer ... But hey a lil change of micro (I wanted to put the couple split in sh1/sh4 for a range of its taut ^ ^) and must be the perfect ... confirmed by a more ... Exprience I would do with this choice rather than twice

edit: So this is the effective change of pickups is confirmed! Go for it! it really is a great base for customization cheap!

- In theory it is Asian, but the serial number identifies it as American ...
- See site for characteristics gibson
- For the price I am well pleased. It is a rather Grat for beginners.
- The dimensions of the bridge can not install a floyd, the only
fesait in almost officially stopped.

UTILIZATION

- I lowered the strings, the pickups mounted one can put a bigger rope, cut the Silet, changed much of the electronics.

- First black dot selector that will become a source of quick ennuits, we hear more micro, large crésillements at the switch ... I quickly turned that one ...

- The handle is a real highway, no problem of access.

- Weight ... a real club when we play I sat up and quickly made the blood of the leg is cut off if I not put a cloth underneath. Otherwise the mount is placed behind the grata in the wrong place, the center of gravity is moved forward so she dives.

SOUNDS

- I play in C # and the strings do not even fuzz strings flush the daisies. BIG PLUS for a guitar that is not really made for this kind of torture.

- on the other hand I feel that the pickups lack side gain amp but if you have a good distortion, ca can play.

- I play mostly heavy metal, it is not built for it but it does set the snub to a dear BC Rich Warlock with microphones bullshit to € 2.

- It has a warm, good for rock and more.

OVERALL OPINION

- It was my first guitar.
- YES I revoudrais
- What I love most: the sound
- The least: weight distribution and the switch.
- I do not remember what the models I tried before.
- The value for money is very reasonable
- I bought 3 years ago with a use of 4 to 6 hours / day, change of
strings every month, it has still some
Marks of war.

UTILIZATION

2 At first surprise: the good is really bte lgre, trslgre, and poor standing, we can not let go the handle, otherwise the head looks directly towards the feet! Otherwise Access in acute dconcertante is an ease even with the hands of a lumberjack. The violin is of good quality can be the mcaniques a little weak but nothing mchant. The original pickups as a slightly rough and poorly Defines I got, I had them change it to '59 SH1 and SH4-JB seymour duncan from home and now it's really a good little guitar rock!

SOUNDS

Playing in a blues-rock style, rock 70's, I find no problem in my sound amplifiers lamps with some good quality pedals. Replacing the original pickups by Seymour Duncan delighted me. I had bought the 2nd era in scratches, just a toy for the show to make AC / DC, but since the change of pickups, it's almost my prfre ! Enjoyable to play and lightweight, there may be clear that that's a little bit but I EHJV chipotte!

EDIT: I re chang microphones by a pair of alnico II pro =>
Less than potato but its much more warm and beautiful velvety crmeux DO. For clean sounds it's not bad either, but c'tait not the goal!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a little over a year, and I'm delighted since it's new pickups.
This is a guitar oriented rock and she does it well. BMOL for a small head that looks but I think it's the same with a Gibson SG from home.
Really not too CHRE a guitar that can evolve at the same time as his guitar Owner ', here it is a good news!

EDIT: to the head that looks strap and I changed the problem is rsolu.
For microphones, I changed the SH4 SH1 by a pair of Alnico II pro . Now it's my prfr A little less sweet with more warmth and crmeux ... I love it!
I am considering replacing the nut and mcaniques, and stratum will not play again after a single rock :-(

-Body and mahogany neck
-22 Frets, 2 humbuckers, 3 position switch
-2 Volume knobs and 2 knobs tonalitbr />-Color Cherry

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.

Guitar-produced by underpaid Asian small ...
-22 Frets 2 mircros Siple coil
3-position selector (neck + bridge pickup, bridge, neck)
- The guitar is an Epiphone SG tested vintage.
BRIEF: A classical guitar cheap ...

UTILIZATION

Channel very pleasant to play a little flat cargo but the hammers are widely fesables (in nag anyway ^ ^)
-Access to acute niquel (form requires sg ^ ^)
Ergonomics-good but it still tends to nosedive as good tute sg ^ ^ self-respecting (not released the handle live on pain of sounding a bit silly). Otherwise light guitar.

SOUNDS

Here it goes bad ... Its crap plain and rough in saturated ... Frankly this is unacceptable for an Epiphone, it was believed to play a guitar sold off € 10 on ebay ...
Its bold, sloppy and too lacking in power.
His too-bright "metallic"
(Tested on a guitar marshall 100dfx)
Basically this guitar is designed to be beautiful and stay on a shelf ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for 6 months. When I bought my first electric and it does not really my conaissant I took the guitar the most "beautiful" and reasonable price ... I bitterly regret it now ... The guitar for good ergonomics and is easy to use (it's not a les paul what ^ ^) bad the sound is as rotten. If you are colectionneur is a guitar for you, this is not true but the aesthetical gilbson is very similar ... If it is to play a lag Rockline who prefer a very very good sound (tested and approved ^ ^ missing is the money to buy it lol) and a value much better ...

9 / 10 because microphones really low-end but a great SG for that price ...

UTILIZATION

Channel trs really enjoyable, Access in acute super easy, good ergonomics but if it slumps the lche, pluttlgre

we feel the rglages DIFFERENT, we get a good sound easily

9 / 10 as it slumps

SOUNDS

It is ideally suited my style of music, I'm not prt of me Sparer!

I have a Yamaha 15W jou and mainte with a Fender FM25DSP

thanks Fender amp, it has a super clear sound (normal, Fender forces) but not enough slamming my taste and too rough, the fault of the low-end microphones

sounds are the best of vintage style rock, British rock, pop rock, it can go up to the limit hard rock but no more nag.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it every day for three months

I love the look, beautiful finish, its easy to play with
I dtest ... nothing, except that I change the pickups if I could afford

I jou trs guitar on another low-end before that. That's how we apprcie the toy

excellent price quality ratio! a beautiful SG for about 300euros on some sites, not really worth the shot without it!

I would do the same choice without rflchir!

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.

As said below the small Chinese cheap labor ...
the rest all is said.

UTILIZATION

I find the handle a little rough play, but probably because I also explore a gibson who is a true rgal.
For acute, weight, everything is said below.

For sound, I changed the micro acute for a humbucker DiMarzio.
I use a Marshall Valvestate, and I think it has a trs's pretty clear.
It has body, neck forces, and a lot of sustain.
Of the attack, the beach is rather low medium high with mediums.
For the micro serious I find much better than the original micro acute.
I Satu closer to the microphone cords acute because it was indeed a sound
trs no net, no attack, few cohrence, but now she takes on another dimension.

SOUNDS

I play punk rock, I opt for a prfr explore, but it's a matter of taste.
She's a rock n 'roll trs, I like to use it to catch his solo.
I like guitars with deep bass, the mediums with which I can easily gnrer harmonics and colors of her warm enough.
Sounds like too much too aggressive in the upper mids ...

OVERALL OPINION

was about 8 years that I have.
For the price quality ratio, I find it quite well.
What makes me .. ch! t is that it has built for small Western privilgibr /> by those exploits, but hey this is all about dlocalis so we can hardly avoid the when we are not millionaires ...
With experience, I would rather a gibson SG.

22 frets, Alnico humbucker, one volume knob and 1 tone knob for the microphone.
Tune-o-matic. 3 position selector micro.
Channel al. Photo of the guitar ===> http://apu.mabul.org/up/apu/2008/01/26/img-234158lom13.jpg.html <==

UTILIZATION

The handle is trs enjoyable ... a little big but you get done.
CHAC is necessarily to Agues gniale, you can go without problem we are not GNER not the case. At the same time it is a sg .
Ergonomics is not really pique gniale since the nose is pretty boring ... must be vigilant to rev it does not fall. APRS I t's just because it is quite heavy for her small body I found.

The position on the bridge gniale and rgl in crunch amp, nothing to say just gniale, the sound is easily adopted Angus
APRS in clean .... blah blah but it's not really a guitar to clean.
In distortion is great too

SOUNDS

It is perfect for my style of music (mainly to the AC / DC).
I play with is a Marshall Lead 12 my first dating from the 80's is simply excellent, with either a Marshall 15 CDR is just as well.

With Lead12, I get sound trs ... specially the 70's was not clean or overdrive ... between the two is really gniale. A bit of rock / blues 70's.

With 15CDR is cool too, really for the hard rock!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for very long (three weeks).
I love its shape because I always rv of the Angus Young SG!
I also like the sound is really good for his report qualitprix, even if in the neck pickup is not great, too fat to my taste.
I play a squier in deuxime guitar, and I like both.

With xprience, yes I would do probably did!

UTILIZATION

- Gets it easy to sound good? Ba ... say after his eyeGO ..

SOUNDS

- They are suitable to your style of music? Yes for me it is the versatile playing rock in general terms the metalleurx s'abstenenir can buy that has scratches if it takes a side effect or it changes the pickups (emg j'obterais for 81 and 85 ..)
- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play? Has a peavey 160 watts transistor (special scorpion 112) and a 15 watt marshall cdr

- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate? The clean sound is downright awful with the regulation of foundations, but as I said in the dealer a little amp and the guitar even when you get something clean, but it is not the top for microphones

- What is so special that you like most and least? Is the violin shape sg is really very beautiful picnic strongly against it by the nose a very bad balance between body and neck

- With experience, you do again this choice? ... No, I thinks it's better not save money and bought a Mexican Fender rather than a epiphone sg I admit but we really want to have a sg the epiphone violin very well and so it is necessary to change the pickups to the head is itchy so used to it after but does not let go of your guitar strap over the leaves of the hop xD moidres therefore also predict and Straplock solid strap ..
It's still a good guitar

See below

UTILIZATION

- The handle is it fun?
Personally, I have big hands and it's nice, we are very comfortable

- Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?
no problems for that

- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
light (I have a stratovolcano that is much heavier!) and as was said, she slumps
- Gets it easy to sound good?

Contrary to what has been said, I have a perfect clean sound of a Vox Valvetronix,
I try a bit of blues, and it is perfect!
but deposit more crunch, you set the amp and go for pure rock / hard rock, I said, I did not try a different amp!

SOUNDS

- They are suitable to your style of music?
I play rock / hard rock so I'm thrilled!
and will not disappoint me when I took the mood for a lil blues
it is appropriate for the metal a little but heavy / death ect ..., it is not made for that

- They are suitable to your style of music?
Vox Valvetronix 15wtt and its effects
later I would put a cry baby and it will be perfect!

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
one week

- What is so special that you like most and least?
the +, the look, when you start a stratovolcano and that goes to the SG, it changes directly
handle very thick and sounds it out!

and - be careful when it pitches down, and find the straps to the strap-locks if risk of accident!

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I had a strato "phoenix" low end, I heard several model
hesitated between the ESP, or lespaul € pi, eventually it is this that my SG is in the eye

- How would you rate the quality / price?
I got in my little shop at 299 € with his first interview done by a luthier
it's worth!

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
yes yes and yes!
I had to play for 1 year, being self-taught beginner, I had lost what little gains over time, some scratching on the SG and all came back to me
I regret not having been to my first

To see other features on the site of Epiphone. I give it 7 because the pickups are really original drafts. I wish I had the''binding''on the handle as well as an expensive Gibson Silet ivory. Otherwise everything is perfect. Especially after my edits.

UTILIZATION

This is a G-400, the model using expensive Epiphone when I said it means that it is not the model but no Elitlist the base model. This is a guitar through his purchase. On stage, it is often said that thought I was playing with a Gibson. To those who say that the guitar is unbalanced, but I said, with Straplock you have no problems. And for his own good, I play indie / pop and is well suited to my style, when I changed the bridge pickup to a Seymour Duncan SH-4. It is coupled very well with the original neck pickup. I changed the bridge pickup just because I used only one. I give 9 because perfection does not exist!

SOUNDS

I play often on tube amps, a Fender Twin Reverb is terrible. On a traynor the crunch is fantastic. Fm212 on a crack I would say that it loses its vintage sound to a more hard rock sound. A versatile guitar with effects it takes all its charm. Especially with the SH-4! Jouissance is in overdrive and I am not talking about the sounds EHX Small Clone with.

OVERALL OPINION

After changing the Silet and tuners (which I found awful) for more traditional tuners. I recommend cete guitar for those who want an SG without paying the price Gibson. After modification, it is simply a monster! For the indie / pop is my best friend!

Adj silent while his written several times ...

UTILIZATION

- The handle is trs enjoyable, it is neither too thin nor too pais ...
- Access in acute is very easy (I started playing the guitar since today)
- The guitar pitches down, but I get used (weight issue is correct, I traveled with the guitar in a cardboard Ibanez store home [40 minutes] and I is nothing (almost) felt heavy)
- With the amp on what I play at the store, it gets a good sound easily with my Marshall rotten that I will not keep it hard ... trs

SOUNDS

- This guitar suits my style of music (rock, hard rock, metal)
- I play with a Marshall, I'm not going to keep

OVERALL OPINION

- I use this guitar since he was around 15 hours
- I type SG, what I like least ... I know yet
- C'tait love at first sight, I had already taken a number of conaissance scratch, I took this one in hand and hop ^ ^

It comes from Asia that's all I know.
21 frets, 2 humbuckers, mechanical the old stop bar, 3 pos switch + 1 volume, 1 Tone for micro, set neck wide enough, electronic "cheap".

UTILIZATION

Handle large and well finished frets not rev, it is not well equilibrated by playing up her nose-dived. But it remains trslgre.
(The fact of the active mount adds a little weight and balance makes it better)

SOUNDS

The micro level, serious tones as too fat and forget imprcis, against the acute trs is correct for this price range. I do not is never clear sound because the sound does not suit me. By saturation with a large against a password, set by the feedback DIFFERENT ds cblage to "cheap". Nanmoins the substain is INTERESTED.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 2000 but since I do my ESP button a lot more honest. is an easy and lightweight guitar for beginners but as' shall adopt l. I redid the cblage and shielding to deal with feedback.
Edit: It is mounted with an EMG 81 and is recently back in my ds when he believes was installed. It sounds great, it has patina over time. I use it every day without exception.

Characteristics: see other reviews.

UTILIZATION

Handle very well. Easy. Glide, fast and pleasant.
Very light guitar, and as I'm not big, it's great and very comfortable. on the other hand, it stings severe nose .. grrrr. The mechanical stability. The jack is a little ballad.

SOUNDS

All styles. I confirm other notices:
1) very good and very good finish woodwork
Right notes, just run.
2) correct the original pickups (for the price), but a draft.
Originally it was a great place to develop and to have fun.
It is easy to make fun of AC / DC and other rocks.

OVERALL OPINION

Light, its friendly, good handle, nice shape.!
I found him an excellent price / quality ratio.
've Played Fender, Squier, Yamaha, Gibson, Aria, Ibanez, etc ...
