Epiphone SG g400
Published on 10/01/04 at 15:00I bought this guitar new off ebay for $325 from a dealer who wasn't doing Gibson/Epiphone anymore.
The quality of the construction is excellent with the solid mahogony body and set neck. The finish is flawless. The neck is fast and with the new Gibson designed humbuckers it sounds almost as good as my 1983 Gibson SG Special. The price sure can't be beat for an instrument of this caliber.
There isn't anything I don't like about it!
Again, construction quality is excellent as far as choice of woods and the care taken putting it together. The Grover tuners were a selling point for me also since that was always a problem before with Epi's.

I believe this guitar is almost as good as a Gibson and considering the price difference a much better buy. You won't get the resale value back out of it like you would for a Gibson but if you are looking for a guitar that plays well, sounds good and that you plan to keep for awhile go with the Epi!

Epiphone SG G-400
Published on 07/19/04 at 15:00I bought this at a place called Music Headquarters in Newcastle and payed $675 (aus) for it. It was originally $975AU but we got it cheaper (brand new).
It has great looks, I have the cherry. It is built solid and has a rhythm pickup and a treble pickup which you can turn off with the little switch to get great sounds (treble is great for lead and soloing, use rhythm if you want a more deeper sound). The pickups are of high quality (2 alico magnet humbuckers). I don't know its full potential yet (I only got it yesterday) but so far it has proved to be a worthy buy.

Excellent. It has a mahogany body which is of high quality build. Nothing has broken yet and I don't think I have put it down alot since I got it. It is a very solid guitar especially with the set neck which is better than the bolt on.
If you're looking for a good guitar at a reasonable price buy this one. It plays great and is just like the Gibson SG (except for price).

Published on 12/19/03 at 15:00i bought this guitar at Alan's Discount Guitar in Ala. I bought it for around 375$.
It has an amazing sound. I play everything fro mCountry (chris cagle,etc.) to creed metallica and led zepplin. It sounds great on all of the styles. It also has a very beautiful body, and it is amazing. I got my guitar in red, it is transparent, and you can still see the grains. It has a made on neck (not bolt on) and this is a plus. The humbuckers are amazing(mine are the gibson version of the stock ones that come on it).
Great very solid guitar. I have dropped many times, and i have not had a scratch. I LOVE IT.

it is a little top heavy, and the strap placements are a little wrong and it feels weird at first until u get used to it. The humbuckers are good, but they can be replaced. These are things that should NOT make u turn ur back to this guitar, just things that can be fixed.

Awesome guitar and you should definatly get it if u want a guitar that has great quality, sound, and fun.

Epiphone SG G-400
Published on 05/21/03 at 15:00I acquired the G-400 from Musicians Friend, ordered on their web page for $359. I owned a Gibson SG Standard for about 7 years or so, but had to sell it when I was in college when the money was tight. After researching the Epiphone models of the SG I decided to go with the G--400 because of the price/quality ratio. Believe me, I looked at Gibson model SG's, because I had almost always heard people rail on Epiphone because of their overseas manufacturing, and had owned a Gibson in the past. In the end I decided to take a chance and go with the Epiphone G-400 because I honestly did not want the Gibson price tag, and decided that I really did not care about the "name plate" of Gibson.

Believe me, I looked at Gibson model SG's, because I had almost always heard people rail on Epiphone because of their overseas manufacturing, and had owned a Gibson in the past. In the end I decided to take a chance and go with the Epiphone G-400 because I honestly did not want the Gibson price tag, and decided that I really did not care about the "name plate" of Gibson.
I like everything about this guitar, this is a steal for the price tag. I purchased the G-400 in the cherry finish, which was the same finish that my more expensive Gibson Standard model had, and appears identical, it is absolutely beautiful. In Comparing the aesthetics of the Epiphone model to the Gibson that I had, they are almost identical, obviously save for the different shaped pick guard and the name. As far as sound and playability they also appear the same to me, I know that the Epiphone hardware, pickups, and other electrical components are supposed to be of an inferior grade, but I could not tell. The sound and sustain on this guitar are tremendous, and for the life of me I can't tell a difference. I mostly play hardcore/punk, or other experimental types of music, but usually heavily distorted and hard. This guitar is perfectly suited for this type of music, or any type of music for that matter. The clean sound that comes from this guitar is also of the highest quality, though I do not use it that much. I have read reviews where people complained about the clean sound of the G-400, maybe they have to adjust the tone controls more, I will admit that without a little tweaking the clean sound can be a bit basey, but this is minimal. This guitar even produces a beautiful sound when played by itself without an amp, and the sustain can be felt rumbling through the whole body and neck. The action was low when the unit arrived, and in my opinion right on, the neck is fast and easy to blaze through any type of riff that you can imagine. While the neck join is different from the more expensive Gibson counterparts, I have no problem with it and do not believe that it effects the sustain at all. I honestly think that it concentrates the sound waves more at the neck join, allowing them to flow into the neck from a more intense and concentrated area. In comparing the Epiphone G-400 to the more expensive Gibson SG Standard that I had owned, they are virtually identical. Yeah, if you want to be completely anal there are probably some minute differences in the hardware and electronics, but come on, it is not really discernable to your average player.
I don't like the fact that I did not purchase one sooner.
The construction of this unit is top notch. I own a manufacturing business myself and pay great attention to detail, so I really checked this guitar out. The only thing that I noticed was a small blem in the surface of the finish on the back of the guitar, other than that there was nothing wrong. The neck join is perfect, as is the fret board and frets, the hardware is beautiful and assembled nicely. The quality of this guitar stands up to the more expensive Gibson counterparts and for the price/quality ratio beats them. I will never buy anything other than an SG, whatever incarnation that it may be.
The bottom line on this guitar is that it is of an exceptional value for the money, and for that matter an exceptional value period. If you are looking at the Epiphone SG models on a budget, I would suggest going with the G-400 instead of the 310 or special. It is worth the extra cash for the set neck and mahogany body alone, not to mention the cosmetics and playability. If you are comparing the G-400 to other Gibson SG models and are on a budget, go with the G-400, I have owned both and honestly they can stand together. I do recognize that the more higher end Gibson SG models are obviously going to have higher quality components, but as far as price/quality ratio goes the G-400 wins in my book.

Published on 02/06/03 at 15:00I STUMBLED ACROSS THIS GUITAR AT A FLEA MARKET IN DELAWARE, OHIO ON A NICE SUNNY DAY. EVEN BEFORE IT WAS OUT OF THE NICE HARDSHELL MOLDED CASE AS I LIFTED IT UP I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE MINE, BY THE NECK ALONE. THIS AXE COST ME $250.
THE NECK IS INCREDIBLE. THIS NECK SEEMS LIKE ITS IT A MILE LONG, AND BETWEEN THE ACTION AND THE SLIM NECK ITS A KILLER LEAD GUITAR. THIS ONE IS THE CHERRY COLOR, AND HAS THE HALF PICK GUARD, WHICH I LIKE A LOT BETTER THAN THE FULL PICK GUARD. IT ALSO HAS THE EXPOSED TYPE PICK UPS.

I'VE CREATED SOME POWER CHORD SOUNDS THAT ARE SO FAT THEY SCARE ME. IT SOUNDS REALLY GOOD ON RECORDED CD.
THE TUNERS SEEM LIKE THEY COULD BE BETTER,OR MAYBE THEY JUST NEED REPLACED. THE GUITAR IS VERY LIGHTWEIGHT, AND ALMOST SEEMS TOO LIGHT. TO ME, IT WOULD FEEL BETTER IF IT WAS HEAVIER SOMEHOW. THE KNOBS COULD ALSO BE A BIT MORE RESPONSIVE.
THE CONSTRUCTION SEEMS VERY GOOD. THIS ONE IS A 1992, AND SEEMS BETTER THAN THE NEWER ONES. IT HAS A SET NECK. THE FINISH IS REALLY GOOD, EXCEPT THE PREVIOUS OWNER DIDNT GIVE IT THE RESPECT THAT HE SHOULD HAVE. SO THIS IS MY GUITAR OF CHOICE IF I AM PLAYING A DIVE CLUB.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS, SOMEWHERE DOWN THE ROAD,I ALWAYS HAD A DISLIKE FOR SG's, but now that I HAVE ONE, I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY BECAUSE I LIKE THIS ONE. ITS EASY TO SEE WHY THE SG WAS SO POPULAR, BECAUSE IT REALLY DOES HAVE A SOUND UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE, VERY POWERFULL. IT HAS GREAT SUSTAIN,AND THIS AXE REALLY KICKS SOME SERIOUS BUTT. I THINK THE CURRENT PRICE IS AROUND $400-$425.

It has really good feel to and it is easy to move your fingers up and down the fret board. The sound is excelent and the guitar is very cool.
The Humbuckers weren't as loud as I thought they would be.
It sounded great, looked great, and is great!

The choice was easy to make.
Love the neck, the finish (cherry), the sound... surprised myself to realise I had been playing for over an hour without any kind of distortion.
Than I fired the Peavey Pro Fex II, and wow!!!
Never heard the phone ring......

Published on 08/30/02 at 15:00I ordered this mail order for £250 from Peter Cookes guitar world in London
I love the colour, its a really nice dark cherry wood effect that changes depending on the light and looks great. I also love the SG shape and the inlay in the neck. It looks fantastic from any angle basically!
It sounds lovely and is a joy to play, especially for the music I play, e.g Black sabbath, Free, Led Zep. Best suited to blues/hard rock
The machine heads are an odd green colour, but that doesnt bother me too much. Id also prefer it if the headstock was the same shape as the Gibson as I dont really like it.

The construction of epiphones is very good indeed, although a little inconsistent. The guitar body and finish is beatiful, the neck and all the fittings look great. The only slight defects is the cheap looking pickup switch and the tone and volume knobs havent been put on with great care.
If your changing from a first guitar, or dont want to dish out/cant afford the proper Gibson this is an excellent step up!
The quality is very good and it sounds brilliant. An excellent step up or addition for the novice or vetran! Its not the "real" Gibson, but its damn close.

SOUNDS

The grain is amazing on its own and when I plug my wah and my metal zone I can perfectly for me predre kirk on Enter Sandman.
In his clear, ca me change my Start sound is much rounder. When I play Stairway to Heaven at least it looks like something.
Since I told you that I can play with all my stuff.
Added 12/09/05
Last Saturday I plugged my SG and a Marshall MG100DFX I must say that the sound did not deu. I compared the line6 Marshall makes it even more perfect grain of the SG.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for one month, buy 500 on thomann.
I wanted an SG and I was trying for me but this price is the best SG.
And certainly the most beautiful, with Tony microphones.
With the exprience I would do definitely the choice.See less00zesmo

I tried qques Gibson before (I also own a Yamaha Pacifica and I really wanted a Gibson / Epiphone) and I did not see the difference between the Gibson Tony Iommi and the same signature in Epiphone, apart from the price xD

UTILIZATION
Channel trs enjoyable (what an SG), available freight.
I thought at first that the guitar would lean more, or it looks lgrement trs but little (it is an even kan SG)
SOUNDS
Indniablement the highlight of this guitar, the pickups Gibson Tony Iommi provide United States!
Also the neck pickup bridge that sound perfectly, as well as saturated, clear sound that crunch, by coupling the two microphones is obtained at a big fat distortion.
Its clear the serious micro rings beautifully, it's hot, it's round, it bo.
In short all of the same guitar versatile enough even if axs Rock 'n Metal
OVERALL OPINION
Excellent intruments, I tried a bunch of guitars in this price range (500 Thomann, 690 pigalle) and I won t. Serious difficulty is the better price. Microphones reprsentent alone more than half the price but a real pleasure c and the worth. I've had two months and I'm thrilled!!
In short I would do without hsiter this choice is clearSee less00ugo7

Finally at the sound, although fiddling RULES everything we quickly found a sound that suits us.
SOUNDS
Unlike what his appearance might suggest, this is truly versatile scratching even if we draw the quintessence saturation and distortion. For my part, I play mostly rock of the 60s and 70s, but also a lot of electric blues and this guitar suits me well trs (when I told you it silent versatile!)
I play on a 112 W amp behringer (120 watts) plugged into a 4x12 of the same brand.
In terms of sound, we can say that the personality has a lot of scratches because of its signature pickups
In clean
the neck pickup seems most appropriate by giving her round and warm, yet not be the bridge pickup with INTERESTED sounds more clicks and more crystalline despite the fact they are a bit colder with the microphones handle.
In saturated and disto
Then l is a really impressive! gibson mics really give normment potato while remaining prcis and sharp as razor blades!
On the neck pickup when the saturation is pushing one obtains a very serious and hot fat, perfect for hard blues!
The bridge pickup is done more for him on the big distortion by giving her a powerful trs, trs trs prcis lively and that allows you to go on for infinity solos with slides and large Feedback!
The only small problem is that saturated distortion and the characters of this skyscraper has not really expressed a certain volume of the amp, and it's not gnial for those who have hostile neighbors!
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a week
I love the look, the comfort of games, especially finish and sound .....
What bothers me a bit is its tendency to pitch down, although I start to me: and then all Manir, until proven otherwise, when you play the guitar, it is the handle!
I already try a squier, and another sg in this price range and I do not regret my choice!
The ratio price quality seems excellent to the extent that the microphones reprsentent More than half the price of the Beast (500 euro bought from Thomann)
Before buying it, I was afraid it does not match my style musiqual, but with the exprience is sure that I would do this choice! Frankly I advice everyone!See less00tjon901
Budget Iommi signature with great pickups
Published on 06/02/11 at 09:44The Iommi G-400 is the budget version of the Gibson Tony Iommi signature. The Gibson Iommi model costs over 5000 dollars when this one costs around 500. The guitar is based off the Epiphone G-400 with some upgrades. 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. The G-400 comes with Grover tuners on the headstock of a 24 fret neck with a rosewood fretboard. The normal G-400 only has a 22 fret neck. The fretboard is bound with rosewood instead of plastic…Read moreThe Iommi G-400 is the budget version of the Gibson Tony Iommi signature.

The G-400 has been produced for over 20 years and has been a standout of the Epiphone line. The G-400 comes with Grover tuners on the headstock of a 24 fret neck with a rosewood fretboard. The normal G-400 only has a 22 fret neck. The fretboard is bound with rosewood instead of plastic and has five mother of pearl cross inlays. It has a mahogany body and mounted to the body are the Signature Tony Iommi Pickups. These pickups cost about 200 dollars each so it is great that they included these with the guitar.
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. The Iommi model tries to fix this with a different strap placement. The new strap placement helps but the problem is still there. The cross inlays dont go all the way up the neck of the guitar they stop at the 12th fret. The neck has some kind of dye on it that will get on your fingers the first few times you play it.
SOUNDS
Since Tony Iommi is known for his down tuning the pickups have a lot of high end bite. Tony Iommi use to use single coils in his old SG's to have the high end bite and clarity he needed for his low tunings. These pickups replicate that 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 pickups are hotter than you would normally get in a guitar like this stock so it does even better with heavy tones.
OVERALL OPINION
With the Gibson Iommi Signature model costing more than 5k I am glad Epiphone has their own version to sell to normal people. It still comes with the same pickups as the Gibson model so the tone will essentially be the same. Iommis name is only on the truss rod cover and that can be removed if you dont want someone elses name on your guitar. A great this is that if you dont like the pickups you can sell them. And being about 200 dollars each you will get back most of what you spent on the guitar.See less00damiansdick

The question that gnaws me, is what you do not dream do not take your dream to reality
I do not take it away I come back the next day to be sure not to do something stupid
And testing and Deuxime cest good I leave with it
