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 ...
