All user reviews for the Epiphone G-400

Made in china!
22 frets
2 humbuckers alinico V
2 Vol. + 2 Ton.

stop bar bridge classic

Mahogany neck rosewood fingerboard, jumbo frets, fairly pais, most common brand MODELS ...

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable and it is easy ... dplace agreements go well, as the bends, you can have a very expressive vibrato: in short anything. CHAC is sharp ux royal!

The guitar has all its weight in the handle? it looks like ... but stand under the right elbow can lcher the guitar and remains in place. the guitar is "small", it is forgotten and it is not bad ... I have changed my Explorer!

This is not a modern guitar, the natural sound of the instrument rfre that of the golden age of rock ... blues-rock '70!

SOUNDS

I play mostly blues rock: the guitar so well suited!

- Lights on an amp with a clear sound:
I am not convinced of the micro serious ... too bad! a buzz right now, you have to play on the amp eq.
By the microphone against his fever is all perfectly usable, it's on rock and roll! a good bite! trs's '60s ...
the two together, it is a little more versatile, agreements, etc. arpges ... but something is missing! on the other hand for the funk ... I have not figured out how to do with!

- In the crunch, the all is well! same is incredible ... has burned fat, a bite is rock, mchant, wild ...
What really are the pat volume pots ... that does not really go down the volume! (Until 6 / 10) but the rate of crunch, and a gain ... it is in top blues!
No need for pedals for extra gain! 7 knob rhythm and solo 10.

I find the pickups plutt correct in this context crunch "vintage".

- In frank saturation type "mtal" ... the need for additional microphones, a drool too much, it's not prcis, but with a fuzz, it plays well drooling ... Cream is found a natural context for the scratching!

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 15 days following a change.
I like the crunch dynamics, volume pots full of nuances! micro acute in all cases ... the ease of play, the weight, look!
I like the pickups less severe, and (yet) rglage Factory: false silent guitar octave, 1 / 4 ton and the low E! not so rcupr disassembly of the bridges and reverse their position ... same funds but there is still missing ... 1 or 2 mm ... I do with.
The guitar is easily scratched so watch the mdiator, nails, centure, wristwatch etc ...

Think oil (with a product like SPECIFICATIONS lemon oil, fast freight ...) button, which is "raw"! the feeling is much better APRS.

report quality price is excellent, however. It is a Fline! but must not play esprer Manir crdible music with extreme ... it is a MODEL of inspiration "vintage". Should therefore play in the spirit!

Guitar made in Korea, 2007.
22 frets
Stop-bar tune-o-matic
2 volume knob, tone knob 2 (one for each humbucker), 3 position selector (treble, middle, rhythm)
Mechanical groove
Of all good, we approach the gibson.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, access to acute is fantastic, Angus will confirm
The guitar is not especially heavy but pitches down (to remedy it I use a strap suede approaching my clothes ...)

Sound: Micro-round draft enough, is added to the acute but hey you do with ...
Micro-bridge well Rock'n'Roll 60s, 70s and blues it's very nice ...

Finally the sound is not bad at this price but I think changed the Gibson 57 'or Seymour Duncan and my guitar can compete ac a real SG, for a more reasonable price!
Otherwise I think the strings are set too high so I'm going to change that!

SOUNDS

This guitar is more appropriate to Blues / Rock, Hard Type AC / DC but for the drool metal mics too! For other style of music, your way past ...

Marshall MG30 DFX with it sounds great, even with the original pickups.
The SG sounds warm and fat with the bridge pickup, but too serious with the neck pickup.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year, I am rather very SATIF.
I love the retro style, the price ...
I immediately hung qd I tried it in stores after an SG special is rather for beginners. This is my second guitar after a pale copy of Start. The price / quality ratio is very honest, I think I refer this choice willingly.

For those who dream of a Gibson SG sublime, cheaper and exellent with new pickups!

Not bad ... the CHARACTERISTICS
Manufactures, with regard to the last MODELS, Korea ..
22 frets (which is perfect for me), no floyd.
2 humbuckers ... (Trs unfortunately bad quality)
Trs nice guitar! (Which is why I bought it)

UTILIZATION

The handle is trs correct, but the strings are too high (fortunately it is possible to adjust them!). CHAC is a real sharp to rgal! For cons, I think it makes this guitar is incredibly dbalance .. (Slumps)
Guitar lightweight compared to the weight Les Paul ...

SOUNDS

the guitar, I play mostly rock, pop, alternative rock, punk, metal .. priori, a SG (in same Epiphone) seems to indicate such use ..
But then the sound (in distortion or overdrive) is totally ROTTEN.
His case is a bit amlior by changing the pickups .. But it remains all the same as the "contour micro" (the wood of the guitar so) is trs low quality (despite esthtisme irrprochable imitating the wood of the Gibson SG)
The sound is rough trs regardless Dfine (yes, I know that Gibson is of the same, but the sound of the Epiphone SG is too Dfine)
It has nothing in common with the Gibson SG, except that its appearance gnrale.

300 euros ($ 400 CAN for me, nine), you can get much better with a guitar sound (Yamaha, Fender, for example)
If you want to stay in the guitars more "rock", there are Ibanez and Shecter trs that make good guitars.

Okay, sounds clean save the setting .. By changing the pickups, clean sounds are drinking at this price. So I do not give a score of 0, despite the worst distortion sounds I heard from a popular brand of guitar.

(I have never agreed a note as low a guitar)

OVERALL OPINION

I have this guitar for 3 years. I bought it just for its looks great (it as my second electric guitar).
I play the guitar for 6 years and to be honnte, I never knew the guitar as popular as it has a sound as ugly ...

I do not see other users who have given such high marks (9-10) ..
Probably because as than unconditional fans of AC / DC, they are proud to have the "" "rplique" "" from the legendary guitar of Angus Young.
I know she is not a Gibson (with 1000 euros Difference in price) but for this price ($ 400 CAN at home), it is even possible to have a guitar, not a dcoration ...

This is an older model that I bought in 1995. Made in South Korea in the Samick factory, it has some differences with the current model: dot markers, pickups without covers, black plexiglass knobs, no decorative inlay on the head, "GIBSON" marking on the truss-rod cover. Other than that, it is as much inspired by a '61 SG as the newer models: all mahogany set neck, 22 frets, small plate, Tune-o-matic + stop bar, two humbuckers served by a volume and tone each and a 3-position selector. And a beautiful finish that varies from maroon to carmine red depending on light.

UTILIZATION

The profile of the neck is quite thin and rounded, and flattens towards the body, which easily accessible high notes, it could even have 2 or 3 more frets.
The ergonomics are excellent, no need for a forearm chamfer like a strat because it falls naturally on the "hip" that is bevelled on both sides. The weight is reasonable, but balance is not perfect: it's head heavy. With a strap that "sticks" well and some habit (neck tilted up), it's a no-brainer.

SOUNDS

Let's say that my style of music is suitable for its sound (rather than the opposite ...). I have completely reworked the wiring, with split humbuckers, series wiring, etc. but I kept the original pick-ups. The sound is very fat, punchy, and not bright at all. This is even more so on the neck pick-up. These pick-ups are loud! In practice I only use the bridge pick-up, dimed. The volume pots are not very progressive, and yet the tone pots muddy the sound by removing all the treble. I discovered fairly recently that a simple wiring modification (50's wiring) makes for a much more usable sound, at the expense of the ability to mix "to zero" the pick-ups in the middle position. I do not know how the current G-400 is wired.

Sounds obtained are excellent for any kind of edgy rock and metal-not-too-symphonic, either rhythm or solo at various levels of saturation. In clean and crunch sounds, the blues is yours. It remains in a register fat or dark, never piercing or bright (unless you splits the pick-ups, you gain in treble what you loose in volume). The mahogany and set neck construction provide an impressive sustain. A tendency to feedback at high volume can be a problem on stage.
Edit 14/07/2013 : I finally decided to switch pick-ups a few months ago, for a Seymour Duncan kit (SH-4 JB bridge and SH-2N Jazz neck), and i'm rediscovering my guitar! The reason for change was mostly microphonics at high volume. The sound of the bridge PU is not fundamentally different, maybe a bit more defined but none more punchy. A bit better, but it was already good. The the other hand, for the neck PU, Wow! There were treble there, just not picked up by the original device! Lots of subtlety with crunch sound, and always fatness with some gain. Character remains mainly the same, but with wider possibilities thanks to a usable neck pick-up, and more subltl volume pots. I recommand to change at least the neck pick-up if it sounds too muddy for you.
OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 16 years, this is my first electric guitar. I had not tried anything else, I wanted the guitar of Angus and Tony.
Over the years, she took the blows, the frets are pretty worn ... but it still sounds! It is still my # 1 guitar. (Edit 2013 : it must now face the competition of its compatriot PRS SE ...)
I love the profile of the neck, not too thin nor too large for my small hands, the general shape which is very ergonomic and the versatility gained by electronic mods I added.
With experience, of course I would do the same choice ... most of my experience is based on that choice. However, the Epiphone productions have evolved, the average value as well, and my wallet too. If it catches fire, I might replace with a Gibson ...

I do not know the origin of the guitar but I find it well made.
22-fret set neck, trapezoid inlays.
Tune-o-Matic
Two Humbuckers Gibson (depending on the sticker stuck on it at the time) and toggle switch
2 volumes, 2 tones
Cherry red color (also a bit flashy but I love the wood grain apparent that comes out better than the dark red Gibson)
Mechanical epiphone which they say some are zero, I did not have to complain

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, well-spaced chords, one is at ease to play
access to the treble is optimal because of the "horns" typical
Usability level against it is that hurts the bottom because the head is too heavy drop the handle and sometimes gives a few scares when we let loose and forget the neck!
(It seems that changing the meca for lighter and have a wide strap fixes the problem but not yet tested ^ ^)
At the knobs, the volumes are nickels in my tastes in against the Tones have little impact on the microphones except the "all or nothing"

SOUNDS

I bought this guitar to play the big metal hardcore (style of my group at the time), used with a pedal and a vox ad120vt electro harmonix big muff fuzz.
I wanted a deep, fat and dirty and that's what I ...
Today, with a higher level and a more eclectic style (metallica, dream theater, opeth over the standard rock / heavy as are the AC / DC, Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath) I think the pickups bcp less:
- Bridge pickup: one's a bit "scratchy" and not very accurate for the game against Rapid in agreements I find them pretty good. Clearly drop the Shreds but a good rock solo goes well
Micro-Channel: rough rough rough! Even with the tone all the way into the treble I find it lacks precision. I must constantly use a distortion pedal has very little grain to "specify" the sound.
As against the Stoner or Doom love!

I think now change the pickups for better but not yet chosen which

OVERALL OPINION

plain:

it's a good guitar to me, ten years pdt bring very good sensations. But with experience it appears as a potential guitar (violin that I find perfect) but requires many changes
Initially the microphones because you realize pretty quickly that for other things that rock and nag (neo drop in, HxC, punk / rock etc) is limited and soon starved micro precision
Then MECAS: mine have accused the weight of years and I have to change them.
Others talk about the knobs, the nut, the electronic ... Hmm should I try but it all put together it quickly exceeds the purchase price! is it worth it?

but hey I love this guitar still is with patience and perseverance to find good settings I managed to do something (the two demos I recorded it with him pay tribute ^ ^ ) and I do not regret my "Made Metal Machine"

and I think in the near future I hack myself to monopolize the beast

Mine was made in Korea. Unlike the newer models, she overlays type "dot" on the sidelines, instead of trapezoids. There was not the "tulip" on the head and the microphones were "open coil" (without covers) to non-adjustable pads. Little more, however: the mechanical oil bath.
Aesthetics plus "gross stripping", so, approaching more the look that SG Standard SG Special.
Otherwise, the classic mahogany body and neck, rosewood fingerboard, set neck, two humbuckers, 3 position toggle switch, 2 volume, 2 tones.
Since this model has changed somewhat in appearance, and production was later moved to China.

UTILIZATION

The handle type "slim taper60" is very fine and very comfortable. It will show just a bit tiring in the long pieces on the bars (due to its fineness) and will not give as much support as a profile 59 '. But we can not have it all. In any case, this handle is very fast, and access to acute in fact evil, ultimately, a real highway.
The ergonomics are very good, the guitar is very thin and very light, and he blamed just a very clear trend (much sharper than on a Gibson SG) to pitch down. We must therefore choose a strap large enough that it is not annoying.
Otherwise, it is impeccable: a remarkable ease of playing!
His level, do not worry: you plug and it sounds!

SOUNDS

Its level, with the former open coil pickups, it sounds very, very big.
Whether on the bridge pickup or the neck pickup, the output level is impressive, and it sounds very fat, very thick, very dense, including clear sound that offers a lot of roundness. All with great sustain. We can however blame these microphones on one side a bit rude, grotesque, gross stripping, and a lack of precision ... but it also has its charm. In any case, it does not lack character ...
This will be perfect for hard rock and we can tap into the metal without any problems. But the guitar will come out too well for rock, and honorably for the blues.
Accessories is a real treat to play at the bottleneck.

The following models, I had the opportunity to play several times, seemed to me to be less successful in pure violin (it's still very correct), even if their less sober finish gave them a distinct advantage over the aesthetic.
The pickups are also different: Epiphone them mounted Alnico more civilized, objectively better, but some find a bit anemic (objectively, they are not that much!) And a little transparent.

Of these guitars, the quality of the violin can be considered quite an upgrade pickups. A good kit Seymour Duncan (for example) will make a formidable war machine.

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for over fifteen years. I ended up selling it to a friend a few years after buying a Gibson SG Standard.
At the time, I was not immortalized in the tests: I wanted a guitar which sounds good, which is gouache and that looks like an SG. I, just in case, tried the Epiphone Les Paul LP100, sold at the same price, but that did not really compare (in particular because of its handle screwed to me unacceptable). I also tried the Chevy Les Paul, very good, but I preferred the SG ...
I then tried other guitars in the same style (Vintage, C77 CS2 ...), some were very good, but none gave me some regrets over the G400.
On mine, I ended up replacing the pickups with Gibson 490 of Recycling.

This is a guitar that I can only advise.
Of course, it does not compete with a big Gibby, but the price / quality ratio is quite excellent.

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 budget priced version of the Gibson SG produced in Asia by Epiphone. 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 classy white 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. The pickups in this special model are fully active EMG pickups. It has the EMG 81 in the bridge and the 85 in the neck, the classic metal combination.

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 heavy metal EMG pickups provide a sweet heavy metal tone. The 81 in the bridge has been an iconic metal pickup for decades. It has a high end crunch and distortion that gives it clarity no matter how much gain you are using or how low you tune. The 85 in the neck is a great pickup too. It has a more fuller sound than the 81 so in the neck position you can get fat lead tones. The 85 is also good too in the bridge. With EMG's quick connect system you can easily swap these pickups position without soldering anything. The 85 in the bridge produces a super thick tone and cleans up better than the 81. Speaking of cleans if you do the 18v mod on the EMG's. With the 18v mod you run the pickups on two batteries instead of one. This provides a more organic tone with more headroom.

OVERALL OPINION

The Epiphone G-400 has all the same pieces that a Gibson SG has. The only difference is that it was made in another part of the world. This guitar with the EMG pickups will give you better metal tones than any Gibson SG with Gibson pickups. It is nice for Epiphone to put out moderately priced guitars that come with high end pickups. You could not make the guitar this cheap by yourself if you got a normal G-400 and a set of EMG's for it. They are doing it for you from the factory. If you are looking for an SG and dont have much money to spend this is your best bet.

The body is the standard Epiphone G-400 (like a Gibson SG) with a mahogany body but with EMG pickups. There is an EMG 81 at the bridge and an EMG 85 at the neck, both of which are powered by a 9-volt battery. There is a pickup selector to choose either or both pickups and volume and tone knobs for each pickup.

The mahogany neck has 22 frets with very low-action and no buzzing.

UTILIZATION

It is fairly easy to reach the highest notes on this SG shaped guitar, but not as easy on a guitar with a body meant for total shredding, such as the Jackson Warrior XT. That being said, this guitar does an excellent job of combining the traditional rock 'n' roll look with a tremendous heavy metal punch out of the pickups.

In terms of ergonomics, it is an SG shape, so prepare for it to take a nose-dive when you don't have your left hand balancing the neck.

The battery compartment which houses a 9-volt was poorly designed. After getting frustrated with dealing with the door on it over and over again I just opted to use a little tape on the back.

SOUNDS

The crunch and lead tones from this guitar sound amazing, and it even does a nice job with cleans out of the neck pickup. I play this through a Line 6 POD XT Live into a Mesa Boogie Single Rectifier. It can push a lot of gain through this equipment without feeding back.

I play hard rock and heavy metal; this guitar is very well suited for these purposes.

OVERALL OPINION

This is a really cool, vintage looking guitar that packs a modern punch. My only complaints lie with the fact that this type of shaped guitar will take a noise dive that moment the neck is let go and the really poorly designed battery compartment door. It's kind of a shame it's no longer produced, but in all honesty, it makes me feel even better than I was one of the lucky few that was able to snatch one. This is a guitar I'll probably always hold on to, even if I started selling off most of my equipment.

OVERALL OPINION

The Epiphone G-400 has all the same pieces that a Gibson SG has. The only difference is that it was made in another part of the world. In a blind sound test no one would be able to tell the difference between an Epiphone SG and a Gibson SG. If you are looking for an SG and dont have much money to spend this is your best bet. If you go any cheaper than this you will start getting into guitars with bolt on necks and this will not give you the classic SG sound.

Handle very nice, it is rounded (not like all ibanez dishes).
She is not heavy you can play for hours without getting tired with standing.
This is the handle which makes it all the weight, the body is a pen and the handle is a bit heavy so when it is not yours it leans on the side is quite annoying but we made it and sitting it changes anything anyway.
Access to acute is easy thanks to the shape of the guitar.
Readily obtained a sound, after a good chapter we will see his sound.

I take off points for the handle that stings the nose.

SOUNDS

It is a guitar for beginners, if you have not yet very musical ear, it suits you very well see. If you go see the road, or change the pickups because the wood is really nice epiphone admittedly of a gibson 1000balles often have poorer violin ...

Music style? We play everything after that depends on the amplifier and we put the pedal back.
If there is a style or is it manages the Hard Rock / (we would guess it is a copy of one of those of Angus Young, AC / DC).

His lens has the Fender? Certainly not, it's not a Stratocaster and given the microphone is not made to play jazz or blues!

I take off points because I love playing the blues and I have to go take that next door to get good sound in this area!

You are a beginner and you do not play the blues? It is 10/10
You love? It is worth what I give him.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this guitar for about 3 years, this is my first guitar.
The value for money is good but not that much at this price it takes a Squier or a Schecter and we are happier.

What I like:
Weight, good sound Hard Rock / she can give the handle super nice, the look really cool (you look close there eyes that shine so that her body is beautiful) and she is pretty good agreement .

What I like to:
No drinking his blues and the handle falling.

With experience you do again this election?
Yes, because really the only major default is the sound, and when it starts it does not really make the difference between a very good sound and a sound like that this guitar is out.

This guitar is for beginners I repeat again, and a beginner will be very happy with this guitar, I really break it, I keep it long enough anyway!

Now I sell, simply because I have experience now, if you're interested in watching ads!

Set neck 22 frets mahogany
Mahogany body
2 Humbucking pickups Epiphone
3 position selector
2 Volume and 2 Tone (one for each pickup)

It can lower the bridge using a screwdriver, thereby lowering the strings and get a better gameplay (but beware not to fall too much, frieze ca!).

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice. A little harder to play than a Gibson, but having tested a dozen guitars before (Schecter, Squier, Ibanez ...) is the one I was most successful. Access to the treble is pretty straightforward, too worried about that. The guitar is unbalanced and slumps when playing with a strap (mahogany wood is heavy). It is easy to get a good sound, with the neck pickup set to bottom, we get a setting to play at the disto. The bridge pickup sounds great in clean.

SOUNDS

It is a guitar for styles of rock turning around. For my part I used for metal and hard rock (Metallica, Guns N 'Roses, Van Halen). One can also get a good crunch sound. Playing on a Peavey Vypyr, the sound is a treat in distortion can be placed riffs accurate as fat. Harmonics are easy to obtain. It can hardly get the pristine sound of a Stratocaster, unless using an X Boost pedal (like the Vypyr).

OVERALL OPINION

It will be 2 years since I played it, it's really a good guitar, perfect for beginners. I tested many guitars before, and had no experience in the test, I took one that seemed most comfortable. I will soon sell it for a Cort G270. Value for money and very good, the guitar is very dear for what it is (around 290 euro). With experience, I'd probably choose it for its comfortableness, but not for her, I play less and less interest now metal and blues / jazz. It's a safe bet!

is a MIC (made in china)

Round handle very very comfortable for me
22 frets standard microphone with 2 volume and 2 tone 3 position slecteur (rhythm and treble beautiful by the way)

I put 10 for the Retailer and finish are look inbranlable

UTILIZATION

handle his ultra pleasant slides right

Regardless gnial ergonomics is just a big problem if the balance of that it stings the nose is not very pleasant

CASC to treble could not be more simple SG requires

Raport qualiter unbeatable price

APRS I think I do not Rasht sg because it is really good but I'm MODEL Entirely filled up

Made in Korea. Epiphone G400 model. Flat handle very easy to play and easy access to ultra sharp. Ideal for beginners and / or those with small hands (or filles. .. ... hands in Angus)!

UTILIZATION

I use it in 2 nd or 3 guitar because the rise in dairy alternative tuning (C #). I changed the microphone for Di Marzio Super Distortion. I also changed the tone and volume knob to get closer to the original model Gibson.Elle is very pleasant to play the only problem is that it "prides ahead" so you have to stick with the high position and not parallel to the ground if it stings forward ...

SOUNDS

The sonnorité is good but as I put Di Marzio I can not really speak for the standard models. Otherwise it is of course the guitar and hard rock par excellence.

OVERALL OPINION

In short it is a good guitar for beginners and intermediate. In mint condition it very close to the original Gibson The difference is I think as time has aged less well because the materials are of poorer quality than a Gibson (pickups, hardware, knobs that can crachouiller with time ...).

But she has a good value for money and a timeless look!
