MGR/Mike M « Epiphone G-400 »
Published on 12/30/03 at 15:00I did not buy this guitar but my cousin did. He paid $360 at Daddys Junky Music in Boston MA. He loves SG's being the reason why he bought it.
I have played it several times.it sounds great on distortion high or low. The clean tone is even better. You can hear each and every note clear The pickups are great. All frets are easy to reach because of how far back the cutaways are. This is great for solos and any chords. This guitar looks plain awesome. It is put together in the U.S.A. as it says on the back of the headstock also but made overseas but thats no big deal because the labor costs are cheaper making you pay less for an awesome guitar. I recomend the red color but its about what you like.
the only thing i dont like about this is that the strap button isnt on the end of the cutaway but on the back of the body where the screws would be if it had a bolt on neck. This makes it unbalanced so if you are wearing it on the strap the guitar leans forward and the neck end goes down to the floor.
The construction is nice. There hasnt been any changes made to this guitar yet. i.e. nothing has had to be tightened it is very well put together. I havent played a Gibson S.G. but im sure this must come pretty close to the quality.
All in all this is not just great for the price its great for any price they could give it. This is a real quality instrument at an awesome price. I would have to say if your going to get a guitar and you like to play any or every kind of music get this guitar because of its great tone and looks.
