ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITARS EVER!!!!!
BEST GUITAR EVER! I like to try and figure out songs by AC/DC and this Epiphone G400 SG sounds great when I run it through my LINE 6 Spider III Amp on 'crunch'. The guys at my local Guitar Center set it up wicked. And there is nothing 'entry level' about it. I love the look. Love the feel of the finish and controls. Love the quality. Love that it's just like a '61 Gibson SG! Love that it isn't priced like one! Also it has the same Lifetime warranty as the 2 Grand SG! Epiphone ROCKS!

Excellent guitar for beginners and intermediates
I recently got this guitar for my birthday. After three months, it is still in perfect condition. It has a tune-o-matic bridge, which is durable and will last a long time. The grover tuners are kinda cheap, but if you know how to properly string a guitar, this will stay in tune. The pickups are not very good, but they are far from bad, too. Even when I play through my midget 5-watt practice amp, the neck pickup gets no mud, and the bridge pickup bites (in a good way). You can get acoustic like tones from the neck position by rolling back the tone knob. The bridge pickup is perfect for distortion. My only gripe is that the pickups can't handle very large amounts of gain (through a hi-wattage amp). Overall, it is a great guitar for beginners and intermediates, but professionals should save up and get a Gibson. I'm intermediate, and this guitar has everything I need. The neck and body are mahogany, and the fretboard is rosewood. This gives it a natural, warm tone, but it also has full bodied treble attack. The neck is round and kind of fat, but easy to grip and play with. The cherry guitar's finish is beautiful. Avoid the black one, because scratches and fingerprints are easier to see. If you want black, go for the Goth edition because it has a satin black finish which doesn't show fingerprints and scratches very easily. I own the red one and it is great. The fretboard is smooth and so is the neck. Eventually, I'll put two chrome Iommi pickups, Grover 102 tuners, a Gibson tp-6 fine-tune tailpiece, and a Kahler-behind-the-nut Pro Stringlock (but no kahler tremolo). Then it will really rock.

Great SG copy for a decent price!
Although my "Babies" are my Historic series SG Standard (w/vibrola) & my Angus Young signature SG, I've owned Epi SG's since my 1st years of playing. My original G-400 was an upgrade from my G-310 (bolt-neck), soon followed by a limited edition one with an Epi Bigsby (which I customized & still play to this day!). And recently I've acquired a couple of the limited "1965" ones w/Maestro tremelos. There are only 2 things I've never liked about them: 1st being the thicker bodies in comparison to real SG's (& the subsequent beveling issues), 2nd being the lack of neck binding. But other than that, you simply can't get a quality SG for the price. I actually PREFER Epi finishes because they outlast the Gibsons' when you gig with them. Plugged in, there're no huge tonal differences when comparing them to real SG's. Newer ones have better pickups & Grovers too. You will NOT be disappointed, regardless of your playing style!

WOW
It is a VERY nice guitar, Id recomend the cherry finish. in person it look about 5 times better than in this picture, in person its alot darker and you can see the woodgrain. I compared with a gibson and there wasnt any real big difference. The price has a big difference though! It should be worth alot more than this. Every time I hit a gig chicks always say how beautyful my guitar is and when I play....BAM they are amazed. I highly reccomend this guitar if you want a good rock guitar with a fantastic old school sound.

JUST AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER THAN THE GIBSON
i play this guitar everyday. this is one of those few guitars that get better with age. i was hesitant to get it because i was looking at the Gibson SG 61' reissue, but i ended up getting this. im am not sorry at all. i love it so much ive never had anyproblems. just string it up with soime .09's and let it go. whether ur rockin the power chords or shredding the fret board (woah it rhymed) this is a great guitar. oh and the neck is thinner than most so its easy to hit those solo's accurately.
