Feature:
The guitar has great tuners, it tunes easily and stays in-tune very well. The pick-ups are better than most of the lower Epiphone models and they have covers and look great. They also sound amazing, as detailed above. Also there is a handy switch that lets you choose to use the neck pick-up, bridge pick-up, or both. This guitar also has the awesome trapezoid inlays on the neck which gives it a sweet Gibson look.
Quality:
The quality is fantastic. You couldn't ask for better quality at this price. Everything is solid and well put-together. It doesn't seem to have any "cut corners" or anything.
Value:
This thing is probably the best value in all of musical gear. For typical $300 - $400 it goes for, it is really a steal. I think it is at the same quality level as a Gibson -- I really do.
Desirability:
The SG body is probably one of the sexiest guitar bodies ever. Every time people see my guitar they comment on how awesome it looks. The finish is really nice and glossy and the trapezoid inlays really set it off.
Sound:
This guitar sounds incredible. Clean it has a bright, ringing, full electric tone, and distorted it has a fierce, dark, aggressive tone. I think that you can play just about anything on this guitar and it would sound great. I've played it through normal amplifiers and through the computer with GuitarRig and it sounds awesome both ways.
Ease of Use:
This guitar is so easy and fluid to play. For some reason the neck just feels great. I find it easier to play anything on this guitar than on other guitars, probably just because it is better quality.
Support:
I haven't had any contact with Epiphone but I know they would replace the guitar if I had a problem because I have heard the same thing from others.
Overall:
I will never want another guitar until this one like, dies somehow. This guitar is just so great that I don't really see how I could possibly improve upon it. I only wish that I had bought it sooner.

Feature:
Mahogany body looks awesome. I like the half pickguard as it shows off more of the mahogany. 2 alnico-vs sound good but not as good as EMGs. THeyre good but not so good for "squealies".
Quality:
Fantastic finish but a couple of chipped bits of paint around the set neck but they are really hard to spot and they're probably due to poor packing not build quality. People often say that if you drop it, it will break into millions of pieces but i dropped my beast and it didnt even scratch!
Value:
Fantastic value for money worth every penny (im english u c) got to be the best guitar around for the money!
Desirability:
Every comment my friends have made about it when they have seen it for the first time goes something like "OOOOOOOOOO SHINY". You should see the look on their faces when the beast is removed from the gig bag!! AWESOMELY SEXY GUITAR
Sound:
The sound is generally excellent. It handles clean and heavy distortion well but sounds brill with light, crisp distortion - Black sabbath, ACDC etc. It sounds almost as good as its gibson counterpart.
Ease of Use:
Really playable neck and fretboard. Most comfortable playability of any instrument out there due to double cutaway and set neck. brill
Support:
Never had any problems but owners manual: 10/10
Overall:
Ill always keep it but ill probably get a gibson or ESP when i get the money (may be a while). If your a little down on the financial side of life then this guitar is PERFECT for playing, learning, gigging, recording and just down right showing off! If it were lost or stolen i would buy it again! Epiphone - I applaud you! Awesome guitar for the money! well worth it! GET ONE!
