"Love it!"
Feature:
No accessories, but the humbuckers make it awesome.

Made well, it gets dirty easy, but a polish cloth gets it off easy to.

Value:
It was good, i had to save a while though, my allowance being 10 bucks a month.

Desirability:
It looks awesome, the devil. If I were a guitar it would turn me on.

Its awesome, its like you can play all the way from blues and jazz to metal and punk.

Real easy to reach, just called em up.

Overall:
Awhile, unless I got real good and wanted to buy like a V Faded or something from Gibson.

"Epiphone SG Special kicks major rear!"
Feature:
This guitar has got just the same features a regular SG would have. All the hardware and electronics are of good quality. Even the selector switch seems reasonably solid for sucj a guitar. The nice way the headstock is inlaid makes the guitar look much more expensive than it is.

Quality:
I give this guitar a 7 because I'm comparing it on the entire scale. For the money, it is obviously a 10. The materials are of a mass product type, but are of good quality. Nothing is cheap or breakable. The finish is fantastick for the price, but has minor imperfections throughout. Polished up and from a distance, it shines like a $1000 unit. Up close, you can see the factory imperfections, although there are not that many. It does have a bolt on neck of course. This unit retains it's tuning remarkably well. I can pull it in and out of a soft case and 60% of the time, play it in tune right out of the bag.

Value:
This guitar's value as far as I am concerned is 11 or 12. For the price, this is one of those rare gem like finds! Even when it's over priced in remote locations, it's still worth it. (I bought it in Canada in Canadian $)

Desirability:
This thing is sexy, no question. The red varnish type finish is what I have, and it is SEEEEXY!

Sound:
This guitar is awesome. I can't believe it is so cheap! It has great action, great feel, great response... it feels like an extremely well made guitar. The sound is very sharp and held together. The pickups sound far from generic. For the money, this is an awesome value. Make sure you take it to someone who knows how to intonate and set up action. Once that is done, it plays like a million bucks!

Support:
I have NEVER had to contact Epiphone about a problem with a product, so I would have no idea if they are easy to contact. However, their website always has any information that I am looking for, so that is good.

Overall:
This is not an in-between guitar. I will never sell it or trade it in. It is a mainstay unit.
