Epiphone G-400 Custom

Epiphone G-400 CustomPublished on 12/06/03 at 15:00
I got this guitar on sale at Long and McQuade for $510 CAN (not including GST). Before this guitar I had a 3/4 Piranha (ha ha ha) and I really wanted something different. I saw the G-400 Custom and instantly fell in love with its three gold pickups and wonderful tone.

Overall, this guitar kicks ass. It looks awesome, the gold hardware makes it look expensive, and plays awesome, the three pickups can be blended to create unique and kick ass tones.

The only things I didn't like about this guitar is that the neck tilts downward with playing with a strap and the volume controls are kind of confusing at first. Also, you may hit the triple pickups with your pick when playing.

This guitar is really well made (hell, its an Epiphone). It appears to be really solid and the finish doesn't chip easily.

Overall, this is a great guitar. The clean sound is to die for, and it sounds awesome distorted. The gold pickups make it look perfessional and its a great guitar for players of any skills. With it, you can play Red Hot Chili Peppers to Black Sabbath to Rancid. I just can't imagine what the Gibson custom is like...

I got this guitar at Long & McQuade for $510 CAN (+ GST). I was looking for a good guitar for rhythm and one that has a good clean sound too.

It has a great clean sound and is great for rhythm. The three gold pickups look professional and sound like a dream. Over all this guitar plays great and looks awesome.

When on a strap, the neck sometimes points down. Also, because of the triple pickups, sometimes your pick hits them if you pick too deep.

This guitar is very well made, except for the pickup selecter which seems loose. It's very solid and the finish doesn't chip easily.

I do not know the country of manufacture but I think Korean. The easel is a Tun-O-Matic Locktone and set neck is very slim typing profile 60 round mahogany with 22 frets medium type, key in Rosewood, very playable, I I fond in all cases more than the les paul ... I seemed to have removed the stickers on the covers Gibson pickups, but I read that this would be the Epiphone pickups! irrelevant given the ultra precise and typed her as I like.

UTILIZATION

My favorite run, with a body / sleeve perfectly balanced and access to acute excellent.Obtenir sound good? Yet with this electric guitar, you even have a good acoustic sound! ! ! so imagine with these legendary microphones ...

SOUNDS

In clean, crunch or saturated is it will sound great for everything! with that of his legend that we love so much and never falter!

OVERALL OPINION

The SG has three microphones has no equivalent in my entourage.Le sound is incredibly good, it must still know and take the trouble to settle his amp ..... Whether you are into pop, rock, hard or trash. Pickups are super accurate
I owned the Gibson SG Special in the 80 Marshal on a transistor at the time, I think prefer this one, the finish is remarkable Epiphone hits hard! gibson should follow the example of their range .... An early report qualitée unbeatable price! After all these years it does not wane, it is played every day for 10 years.In the purchase of thirty years it remains my electric guitar solo or fetiche.rythme, it kills.

More beautiful than good

Epiphone G-400 CustomPublished on 04/13/12 at 16:23
(This content has been automatically translated from French)
Chinese-made for mine
Channel 22 boxes
57 Classic humbuckers 3
3 volumes 1 tone
3-position selector (micro environment still connected)

UTILIZATION

Channel (too) round
Easy access to the latest boxes
Guitar very unbalanced: the head "picnic" if we drop the stick

SOUNDS

It is suitable for many styles of music, sounds approaching jazz and metal, but more dedicated to blues, rock and hard rock.
The average quality microphones do feel that on my Mesa which does not forgive weakness on that side, if not, on my preamp Lag, the difference is minimal with my Les Paul Artisan.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over a year, I like Gibson humbuckers to 3 for their look, but a Chinese Epiphone does not compete with a Korean Epiphone both finishing on the sound.
If I had to redo this choice, I would make sure to have a Korean model, then I think the quality / price would be enormous.
