Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized Epiphone dealer

The playable neck and long sustain of the SG make it an excellent guitar for metal and other heavier genres of rock. The Epiphone Gothic Series SG gives the classic model a fitting exterior to match the dark and dense tones its capable of producing with an all black finish and gothic appointments on the twelfth fret and headstock. With a mahogany body and dual uncovered humbuckers, the Epiphone Goth SG churns out the resonant low tones needed for drop-D chugging and scorching solos. It's no coincidence that Black Sabbath axeman Tony Iommi built his career and crafted the Sabbath sound using an SG.

Features:

- Dark new take on a classic guitar design
- Black finish with black hardware and black pickups
- Dual Epiphone humbuckers
- Distinct "XII" inlay on twelfth fret with Gothic emblem on headstock

"Yes people, it is a REAL SG."

Sound: Pretty hot pickups which are quite extreme in tone for a production guitar. Bridge is _high_, neck is almost jazz/blues worthy. Thin mahogany body is toppy as all SGs tend to be, but capable of some good low end as well. I give it a 9 'cause it is pretty much a dedicated metal/punk guitar for me and suits that role well in terms of sound. Feature: Electronics in general needed a tweak of some sort, but once done are actually quite good. Grovers are a nice touch, but not top of the line tuners. Frankly the pickups could be a bit clearer, and absolutely needed re-potting. Once re-potted, however, they put up with a ton of gain and tone shaping without going microphonic. Bridge and tailpiece are adequate. Switch needed a hit of conductive lube, and probably will again. Quality: Finish had a couple of blemishes on the side of the fretboard - looked like a bad masking job. Neck is well set and stable for an SG. Pickups needed re-potting, and switch can be flaky. Re-potting isn't a big deal, but a nuisance for a new guitar. It shouldn't be necessary on mid-range instruments, but I understand is a pretty common issue with Epis. Value: Not cheap, but reasonably priced for the quality. Manufacturer Support: Can't say. Haven't dealt with them. The Wow Factor: I'm a soft touch for black SGs. I just have to deal with it... Overall: Does what I want - harsh noise. It cleans up well enough to play just about anything that could be termed popular in the past 35 years.

Style of Music: Blues, Jazz with a punk background and a current metal band - I'm so confused!

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "A satisfied user of Epiphones for many years and I love this new addition to my guitar stable..........."

Sound: I was looking for an Epiphone SG style to add to my collection and I got a great buy on this one. It fits my style very well as I'm a country picker and have adapted the guitar for this. I've added an Epiphone EZ B-Bender that I had laying around to this guitar to raise the B string a whole step to C#. I wanted access to single coil sounds so I've had it wired with just a master volume and tone on the top two knobs. The bottom two which used to be volume and tone for the bridge pickup are now pull pots activating a phase switch and a coil tap which works both pickups. The standard knobs are still on the guitar so it looks stock (except for the EZ Bender........ Feature: The most useful feature I like about the guitar is the overall weight and that means that it'll get a lot of gig time, especially with the modifications I've made on the electronics. It didn't come with any accessories but I've bought an Epiphone SG case for it. Ease of Use: It's very playable and gets all the sounds I need. Quality: I think it's very well made and the finish & fit are very good. The only thing I had to do with it was lower the action at the bridge and file the nut slots a bit and it was ready to gig with........ Value: It's well worth the selling price.... Manufacturer Support: I've never needed to deal with the company before...... The Wow Factor: It's a practical addition to my guitar gigging collection..... Overall: I'll keep the guitar for a very long time and have no reason to replace it. I gig on a regular basis and use various styles of Epiphone guitars depending on my mood. I have all styles of Epiphones including Les Pauls (2), Sheraton, Casino, Zephyr Blues Deluxe, Riviera P-93, Masterbilt dreadnought, Mandobird mandolin, Elvis Tribute acoustic/electric.

Style of Music: Country, country rock, classic rock.
