Epiphone Vintage G-400 Electric Guitar Worn Cherry

Good guitar, I need a humbucker guitar for some recordings and got this used, pretty cheap. These stock Epiphone pickups work much better in this SG than they do in the Les Pauls. Brighter, more open. But the neck dive on this guitar is almost comical. I'm using a 3" leather strap and it makes no difference. As soon as you let go of the neck, down it goes, quickly. It's not balanced at all. Playing seated is a better option. If that doesn't bother you, it's well worth the price. Solid build, good tones.

I really REALLY wanted to like this guitar. But the amp jack kept coming loose from day 1. Tightened it, was fine for a few days and then it would loosen again. Got so frustrated after 3 weeks so I took it back and bought a Stratocaster instead. It's a nice guitar but no one should be frustrated when using it.

I was lucky enough to get the faded brown model. Although I'm not a fan of these pickups when they're installed in a Les Paul, they really come alive in the G400. I was amazed at the build quality, and the playability. I've been playing Les Paul's for a long time now, both Gibson and Epiphone, and it's a little bit of a learning curve switching to the SG, but well worth it. I chose this model over the Pro for the faded finish, and the lack of coil-splitting. Which honestly, doesn't sound great and the push/pull pots are destined to break. I'd buy this again, killer guitar.

Love everything about the SG! Great sound, lightweight, love the finish , plays well.

Plays and feels great. Love the finish.

I picked up my G-400 about 12 years ago from GC. I'm getting old and I could not tell the difference between this and a low-end Gibson. Did I say I am getting old? Tennitus in both ears - many years in the military - oh, and Rock n' Roll. I play this guitar often. I play for relaxation and to relax after working and I am not a professional player. This was money well spent !
