MGR/Nate Hershenfeld « Epiphone G-400 »
Published on 08/06/04 at 15:00At Long & Mcquade in Toronto, for $390 CDN (around $300 USD).
First and foremost, it looks kickass (SGs are MADE to come in 'Cherry Red' and you know it!). Second, the tone on the 'Treble' mode is just amazing. The neck also feels great to play. Also, the latest version of this guitar features grover tuners, which are just great, at least compared to the ugly green ones of yesteryear.
Well, a problem with all the Gibsons/Epiphones is the balancing of the guitar. With a heavy headstock, and the strap button behind the guitar, the head tends to point toward you're feet. so A) get a nice, thick strap, B) Hang it low if u like, and play it close to upright, or C)Well I assume you'll be holding it with your left hand anyways, so y'know. Also, and this is just personal taste mind you, the 'Rhythm' option just gives a too heavy, deep, bassy, muffled tone. But thats just me.
Built like a rock. Treat it like a guitar, and not a skateboard, and you'll be happy for years to come. I do however recommend buying a little bottle of guitar polish, as every smudge shows nicely.
Great guitar, I'm happy, but you may want to try before buying.
