Epiphone G400 Electric Guitar

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:
Love the finish on this guitar. Got mine in Ebony - Black. Smudges quite easy however. The trapeziod inlays look mint on this guitar. And looks like the Gibson Sg. The neck i find is rather bendable. On the plus side it Stays in tune. The Tune-O-Matic bridge is a plus and can alow for easy String height adjustment.

Quality:
Has a problem at the bottom of the neck having a dullness in colour. As if it hadnt had the gloss coat over top of it. Also found that one of the control knobs should have been tighter when assembeled. But in terms of reliable I would trust this guitar, have not had any problems with it apart from the ones listed above

Value:
Great Value. Just as good as its big brother the Gibson Sg. At half its price. I would choose a Gibson Sg over this if I had the money. Mainly due to the fact of Gibson being well known brand and made in America. They would have better quality control.

Desirability:
The first time i saw this guitar I knew it was love at first sight :). Lol. I really like the devil horns on it and the inlays. gives the guitar that extra bit of 'Appeal" compared to the common Strat look with dots on the fingerboard. The layout of the switches are good.

Sound:
The sound is good, can get a lot of different tones out with the 2 tone controls. I do have a problem with the low e string buzzing occasionally. Can easily be fixed by making it higher to avoid contact with the frets.

Support:
Never needed to contact them

Overall:
Overall this guitar is a beauty, I recommend it. It is my favorite guitar and will keep it for life. It is excellent in terms of look and sound and would not be happier. If it got stolen. I would either replace it with the exact same guitar. Or go a step higher and buy the Gibson SG. Someday i would like to change the pickups and just play around with them to get different sounds. I recommend if you buy this guitar to get some strap locks to prevent it from falling off and hitting the ground. Ive dropped it once :(. And put a dent in one of the Grooves on the bridge.
