All user reviews for the Epiphone Vintage G-400

Epiphone SG type, nothing else to say.
I use it regularly since 2008, I had to change once easel (wear the original).

UTILIZATION

The handle is, in my opinion, perfect.
Access to acute is perfect, nothing wrong (sg-type).
The guitar tends to nosedive, but it does not weigh so heavy here (nothing to do with an Epiphone Les Paul for example).
The tuning is pretty good, the pickup selector tends to spit over time, a simple removal and spray cleaner contact can be definitely quiet (in my case).

SOUNDS

Playing rock 70, I think this guitar is fulfilling its role. Rendering microphone is quite dirty.
That said, this Epiphone offers good sound vacuum, I think the violin is good.
The neck pickup is warm enough, the pickup is worn in the medium, which is perfect for me.
I used it with a Marshall MG100DFX into overdrive 1 and a Marshall Class 5, made good on two amps.

OVERALL OPINION

For my game 70 rock, this Epiphone okay.

For the price I think it is not possible to find "better", it is not even possible to hesitate to take this guitar for this price!

China I think mine is 2011. Standard fittings but grover mechanical, and toggle-knobs are not low-end, only the jack is to change (its thread dulls quickly).
22 frets very well finished / put, this is buying Epiphone pay compared to other brands only cheaper.
Set neck course, satin varnish everywhere look delicious. Attention, Gigi is very different in real life, she is gross with very little polish and smell the pores of the wood with her sister faded worn brown les paul is unique in the current production.
So do not expect a copy you would be disappointed.

The pickups are not static or feedback (waxed), and non-and split. I did the mod for micro grave but the result is well worth the effort to do so.

The magnets are type AlNiCo5, in fact everything on this guitar is a high relative costs.

UTILIZATION

Hard not to love a sg, light and handy, solid and practical, we need to know one thing: As rounded thigh just below the bridge is the first bin boxes are very far! If you are used to normal guitars (rg-lespaul, strat, tele) you will instinctively 2-3 boxes below, confusing.

Gigi on my sleeve as '60s tribute, so slim type, super nice and not overwhelming whatever the chosen game.
Ozégus access, look at the picture! It is well on top, but with the pitch shorter than ibanez / fender / prs / charvel company and it is rather tight past the 15th box.

Sg is a thin so it gives very often sound rather bright acid, which checks already dry here.

SOUNDS

Firstly I should say that I installed these pickups in my les paul worn brown faded as I like their side smokey jazz and mellow sound and very flexible micro serious split. So I prefer to bursbucker pro that equipped the original Gigi, the Epiphone are not bad huh?

They are not aggressive, in fact, and rather well rondouillards rock'n'roll. In jazz it is clean if you will, not acidic at all.

As is the Epiphone does not deliver the aggressiveness / acidity expected of a sg, I put other mics more aggressive and punchy where it does it well.

Since this is a deliberate choice of epiphone and the original pickups are extra, I leave 10.

OVERALL OPINION

I love the craft, and the look is quite unique (ras-le-bol or black finishes like mat on the tea table ...), although roots.

The edge of the frets has not moved in almost two years, the woods were so dry manufacturing.

While I was there, changing the pickups I wired simplissime (a master volume basta) and sound is affected, this is not a scoop.

Brief for the 239 roros disbursed this is a great surprise, Epiphone has significantly improved its services recently.
So much so that there is no viable alternative at this price level, and if you can save just over 360 roros you American are Fort Gibson these days!

Made in China, and it shows (for better or for worse)

Easel type Tune'O'Matic

Handles glued mahogany and rosewood with keys. The body is also mahogany.

There are 22 frets and two Alnico V humbucking coils

Level settings, we have four knobs (two volume and two tone controls for each microphone). Also a selector with three positions (trebble, rhythm and intermediate)

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, nothing to say, we are in the presence of a real highway riff. Just a little higher frets, which can be a bit annoying but you get accommodated quickly.

Ergonomics is another story .. there is a big imbalance when playing standing, due to the weight of the handle .. So be careful when you release the handle or you may be surprised. This has the advantage of shoulder muscles after a time ^ ^

Access to acute is incredibly easy, it is the presence of a SG.

The tone knobs are not very highly reactive against .. so you get a cool sound but not very popular in my

SOUNDS

I play a bit of all styles, but mainly punk and blues .. after it's true that I'm not attached to a particular style .. so I find it quite versatile (can play pretty cool stuff once and then send the nag in the next moment)

With the switch in position trebble we get a well where aggressive treble doing well .. the sound is really incisive.
Rhythm mode, the sound is round and very hot, very very fat even with distortion.
An intermediary, the sound is quite warm and crunchy well.

I love the sound of this guitar, maybe just the bass that I find this a little too often for my taste.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 5 months. I confess to not having tried many models before I fell for her look especially at the base (impulse buy, it does not control ^ ^)

I really like her look, vintage red and atypical.
on the other hand, ergonomics is not the best, and the quality of finish is not really appointment.

The price / quality ratio is good .. but I think if I had not bought on a whim I could find a similar product for the same price.

So I'm not sure again this choice with hindsight, but this guitar is still a nice toy.

Bought at Wrays Music House Lemoye,PA
Price $389

Awsome guitar. Mine is a 2003 model.The guitar has mahogany body and mohogany set neck.

This guitar plays beautifuly. The action was set up nicely at the music store.The finish I have is the washed cherry which is cool looking. The grain shows through the finish.The SG also comes with grover tuner which is a plus.
The sound is sweet on this guitar. The wood gives the tone a low end chunk,the set neck adds to the sustain. The pups are decent.I plan to get better pups for this guitar, but I'm in no hurry to cause these stock are better than most stock pups.

I've had my guitar for about 6 months and the pup seletor switch is already cutting out when switchen from bridge to the neck postion. The neck pup can get a bit muddy compaired to the bridge position.

The guitar is built solid. The fret work is done with quality, as well as the neck binding. The selector switch as I mentioned is not good. It is a shame that a guitar built so nicely that they would use a crappy switch. I knew when I bought the guitar that the switch was cheap and would need replaced at some point.

This is one bad ass Axe! It has a thick full body sound all its own. This guitar plays great,sounds great,go get yourself one today!

Made in China
Mahogany body and neck
Rosewood binding with plastic imitation pearl diamond (we only see the difference that closely).
Chrome mechanical
Gibson fixed bridge type
'60 Round handle, slim profile type
22 frets
Epiphone humbuckers classic 57 (alnico V)
2 volume, 2 tone.
A 3-position selector: neck, neck + bridge, bridge.
Gotoh Tuners. They take good agreement, as well as on my LP.

Finishes very correct, mine, and I tested store-bought, was perfectly finished.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very comfortable to play. Neither too flat nor too thick, the junction body / neck is very well done, and is accessed easily in the last box.
The frets are like on my Gibson and not too high, super-comfortable.
The mail is correct, but to watch ... I had to tighten the input jack after 3 days. The thread I did not look very solid.

Ergonomics side, its just sitting top as we play. The game is virtually impossible as long standing guitar slumps.

Level setting for the sound, it's all knobs at the bottom and it's happiness
I pulled the pickups for a little potato.

SOUNDS

Its level, unexpected ... this is the guitar to 200 € that does this??

Frankly stunning. Sound blues, hard rock and heavy excellent. It's warm, full, round, smooth. You can play with many nuances.

The pickups are really good for the price. Surely those are not Gibson originals but they have a very good record.
They sound a little more muffled than Gibson, but we manage to offset rising slightly treble on the amp.
on the other hand, it has a little trouble with the large distortions. it tends to blow and be rough.

I play with a Boss GT8 headphones or so with a Marshall JCM2000 combo in a 2x12 + 2x12 celestion v30 in, and frankly, in both, it sounds that little.
Very pleasantly surprised.

OVERALL OPINION

I have only been two weeks. For now I am fully satisfied.
I'll come edit my post if ever I think is changing.

I tested some guitars before making my choice. Initially I had gone to take a SG 60 'tribute. yeah, it does not convince me.
Then I tested the SG'61 reissue, extra, then just after it. I was amazed by the resemblance of the guitar (almost identical, and I love the 61) and also by sound. For 10/15% of the price, there is a guitar that mimics the sg61 superbly.
I then tested the Epiphone LP standard, custom and prophecy ... I have not really liked, it was not what I wanted, and it did not compare with my LP Standard.
So I picked up this little G400 in hand, plugged into another amp, and wahhhh I buy!

I only play with me, and it is for now a super nice surprise.

I wanted a guitar every day, in order to make my lines a little and have fun. It is perfect for this. And for relaxation too!

Very good choice, unbeatable value for money. I even hesitate to buy me a second to mount microphones mordants more ...

- Made in Korea
- 22 frets, 2 humbuckers epiphone (57 'round and' hot 'bridge)
- Tune O Matic
- 2 volume, 2 tone and a 3 position switch and mcaniques GROVER
- Handle al

UTILIZATION

- I love the handle
- Double cut so no problem for treble
- Trs is not heavy but really stings the nose which is common for a SG
- All good background c

SOUNDS

- Is a versatile guitar plutt (clean sounds are not bad)
- Small 15W + overdrive of poor quality

OVERALL OPINION

Bought 360 euros on thomann.
I do not regret the purchase but if I take a silent flying les paul just to try.

- Made in Korea
- 22 frets, 2 humbuckers Epiphone
- Tune O Matic
- 2 volume, 2 tone and a 3 position switch
- Rosewood Handle

UTILIZATION

- I find the handle relatively pleasant, though I is not had the opportunity to try thousands of other long enough to compare
- Access to acute surely among the best in the world, any guitar tested only allowed to go as easy on the 22nd case
- For concerts, this guitar is also among the best on the market, if one moves a little, I recently made my first concert and it had very easy to jump around, something that could make the second guitarist who was the occasional semi-hollow Epiphone
Extremely light, it plunges the stick a little but usually no problem, especially if one does not put his belt too low
- The sound is much less "kind ACDC" I think we can also find it unfortunate that the sellers say it's only a guitar for the classic rock music, it's not my opinion, and I think if one is set well and that you have a versatile amp everything is playable

SOUNDS

- Guitar versatile if you know the deal
- I use a Roland Cube 60 (which has some effects) and I can do the most possible sounds on the guitar I think

OVERALL OPINION

- I bought it last year (October 2006) in a shop in Pigalle and I am very happy
- I pay 414 euros, albeit a bit expensive but I really wanted the one for his mouth and I did find that here
- I never had any other electrical Gratt but I play regularly on some models to friends, and aside from a Fender Start to 1200 euros, none seemed greater than mine (this was of course relatively mid-range guitars) but the report look / sound / weight / price is unbeatable
- I referrer the same choice without hesitation to the point that no other guitar makes me want to by a Rickenbacker maybe (it will remind some Pete to some maybe ^ ^) and even a Gibson SG that much, probably because I make him scared of pets, things that do not bother me with that the

Made in somewhere in asia, this skyscraper is mahogany everywhere (except the key, rosewood) with a handle Colé, 22frettes, two doubles, two volume knob, 2 tone of the selector ... what an SG ! The handle is also typical!

UTILIZATION

I love this set, ideal for zack wildien plans, it's velvet!
Access to acute? There have ben no better, so it is even available that I spend my day!
Overall, it's rather a solo scratch because when you play the upright, the handle is so forward that one or strato you fall under the fingers the 5th case, you are already on the SG 12/13eme. ..
Otherwise, the diving header but actually in fact, it did not matter because when we play, in general, it holds the handle ...

SOUNDS

Blues, rock, hard rock, metal, this is a skyscraper skyscraper manly but I've seen jazz musicians play on so ...
The sound is rather round and fat, quite close to gibson in fact and in the micro hot alnico bridge is very simpa to send the charge!
The intermediate position is reminiscent of Lenny Kravitz sounds so few solos or ac / dc, the neck pickup it for top solo hyper saturated (I love the resulting compression) and the blues power!

OVERALL OPINION

I have this from scratch 3 years, I love a point (the violin is a killer) that since they have evolved with the arrival of a pair of micro gibson, vibrato Duesenberg and a bridge Schaller Roller! To know that I have a friend who is luthier who explained that the fittings are in epiphone Souvant better than gibson and I readily believe when I see that this epi as the original Grover's or gibson sg ace of base kluxon ... After it was all to see, or you paid 1500 euros a myth or you change your ear for a scratch crazy for 700euros ... it's my No. 1
I put a link to a picture of my craft an authentic amended as stated above!

Finally, what about a better guitar except that it just makes me move forward I had never thought before my reach?

Hello all has been said the

UTILIZATION

The neck is super nice, the access to acute is great, is of the form c sg so we love ,....
I adore this skyscraper, the handle is very fast, I have had the OCCASION of trying a cherry SG400 normal, but the handle sticks too so after trying the worn brown .....

pr against it is very male balance

SOUNDS

My sg tends slightly fried, I'll settle in to a luthier because I spent 10 has 52 veiled

OVERALL OPINION

I have the last 3 months, I have try to copy the full sg, vintage (Wilkinson), XP, I find the epiphone is better quality ...

This is a copy of SG Korean, so very classic.

UTILIZATION

In unpacking the guitar reveals a body of beauty, I really like the finish faded.

I thought originally acquired a Gibson SG Faded, but after testing the guitar shop has not lived up to its price (poor weaklings mechanical and microphones), so I decided to make an Epiphone thinking upgrades to the instrument.

The guitar is light enough, inevitably falls head (poor balance), which is quite irritating over time, the handle is comfortable to play (I like the sleeves round as opposed to those of fender).

SOUNDS

The sound produced by micro base will not bunch, anyone, we feel that we are facing low-end stuff with some bonus spitting by manipulating the switch.

It's pretty bland and it is better to either change the pickups or use a modeling amp to hide this weakness.

OVERALL OPINION

I have owned this guitar for a few days, the fault completely inutilisatble the handle, I tried to adjust the guitar myself, and then make a deal maker who confirmed that it was a waste .. .

Result is logical, return the instrument at Thomann for a refund, no regrets for this award because there are a lot better now.

I can not imagine the worth of the Epiphone G310 ...

Made in Korea
22fret

I adore this guitar sound rotten struts (pickup epiphone) but I knew that I would change my maker had briefed these m a good guitar and these pickups that sounds dull. I do have posed a hot DiMarzio PAF DP 214 bridge and a gibson Classic 57 at neck. THE HELL OF SUCH A MONSTER I trip and has a vintage look of hell j I almost bought a gibson sg faded worn the more we talk about it. I can not live without this guit. When I got home I brought my professor emeritus a bluesman he tested in a mesaboogie I fell on his back I told myself it makes me take this Guitar and I remembered these mine yes.

these true it stings the nose the problem this rule with a strap of leather or suede nylon forgot it slide. for $ 753 (pickup installed) Canadian total jaurès not find a better APARs sg72 old.

No I have not had a problem with electronic volume pot or switch I think these problems have been resolved becaufe J have already had an sg flametop in 2003 and I had this problem with 4 in it that I think we solved this problem with epiphone .

I start dreamed of flying v 1957 I would ask him two classic 57

UTILIZATION

Pleasant handle the Guitar notes resonate and vibrate over its resonance is the most swingin at these without limite.ca took me a week to finish the regular m jai a strat handle 86 with a varnish, but after these ok
easy decendre the past 12 freight

SOUNDS

1974 Garnet amp lamp Canadian BTO played with garnet and a 5 watt lamp has 1964
these super clean is the hot especially with the 2 pickups. disto and these rock these vintage pickup the 2 that I've asked the person died ca kills

OVERALL OPINION

I play on a strat walnut body by doing a luthier evec handle of a strat japanese 86 with a humbucker DiMarzio DP103 after it sounds I love and I hoped to have the rest of my life but I've put a little aside from that I sg l have the cool to the customized the guit.

March 13, 2008. Since jai bought a gibson sg faded and changed the pots of it breathes the epiphone j've asked four 500k audio pots in good order. Basic (SG400) pots are crappy sounding muffled his lack of definition and the two volumes are 500k linear.
Unlike some of the faded handle is thicker and rounded body style 50 and the thicker and heavier gibson its nitrocellulose lacquer is the epi is the polyurethane guitar resonates a little less but very resistant and does not scratch easily s. The Gibson is a very good guitare.Mais have amended epiphone j j've wired the neck 50s style wiring and modern bridge and add 2 sprague vitamin q and such an ugly didn't fear that its great if you soeur.Mais have a gibson sg faded the deal is a higher quality wood and electronics and has a better value for the rest revente.Mais amended the epiphone is a very good guitare.Et my Start is still in its box.

Sugestions if your guitar with humbuckers sounds good bait watched the value of your Knob, too much guitar 300k or 250k of it and its sounds dark and bait for the vintage sound

07-03-2009 I've changed the pickup day I put a couple of 490 and even better since the day I bought an sg standard these really hot but I still love my epi and I think for the price and about the hard mod China has battre.Les I know their quality.
p. s. My spirit is strat s anchor box in soc
