Epiphone G400 Deluxe Electric Guitar

Feature:
The dual tone controls really help you shape what you want out of this thing. I guess there are better tuning pegs out there, but I've had no complaints with these and bend and flail the mess out of the thing. I think the screws holding the pickups in could be a little longer as I've worked them loose once or two in the past couple years, but again, bash the thing. Factory default set-up was fine for the light strings I use (thick strings are for single-coils, IMHO) although as I wear the frets down I'll have to adjust that.

Quality:
The back of the body had one tiny 1/4" flaw in finish, other than that perfect.

Value:
I got mine when it first came out, and it seems the price point has inched up about $50 which is still a bargain. I mean, I pick up axes costing twice as much and just recoil in horror at the tone and feel.

Desirability:
I've watched as this classic style has slowly come back to the fore in the just the last few months. Bottomline, you'll never look at this thing and be ashamed of it, unlike some of the "hot" and "cool" axes you bought over the years. (And you know you did.) Heck, you can put it on a stand in your living room, it looks that good.

Sound:
I knew I'd love this guitar, but it has been fun to watch friends play it and really come to dig it too. You think SG and hum-bees and all crunch, and yeah, you can knock walls down, but with some decent effects you can get great wah and reverb out of the thing. Just a very easy to dial-in axe for just about any tone short of woody jazz stuff.

Support:
haven't needed any support

Overall:
This is my everyday guitar, probably forever. I can see maybe branching out to a single coil or a big hollow body or guitar synth or even a banjo or bass, but I really do think I'll need another guitar like this again.

Feature:
Just comes with a guitar. But Its got 4 knobs that are very useful and help create the basic treble and rythm sounds well. Has pretty marble inlays, Beautiful sunburst. Come with everything you'd expect for the money

Quality:
This is just an amazingly built guitar. Finish is goregous, all the knobs and switches are sturdy and look nice. Very dependable guitar. Awsome guitar for live uses and recording uses.

Value:
Very worth its price. Best SG on the epihone level for sure i would say. This one is much prettier then the custom. Holds op on me great. I once bashed it off a chair when playing on accident, and noticed no damage. Most definitly worth the coin. 499 is an awsome deal.

Desirability:
sooooooo pretty. Every time i walk by i just stare for a bit, and sit in amazement that i actually own it. My one friend trys to make bets with me in attempt to steal this guitar off me. Very confortable with a strap, and makes the fattest ugliest people, hot.

Sound:
Epiphone is a lovely make, and a very trustworthy company for sound. Hook her up to some marshall amps and you'll be in love. Great Tone, Great with heavy, and soft stuff.

Ease of Use:
Well its a guitar. Plug it in.

Support:
none yet. Comes with a garentee

Overall:
Guitars are great investments. Especially big make ones. This pretty guitar, if treated well will last you for a long time. Buy this guitar! At this level of guitars, this is top grain, especially if you are interested in an SG
