Overall: I got this guitar for a steal at an in-store location, but even at this price through zZounds, it's still a bargain considering the quality. The color I got was Pelham Blue, but it appears that zZounds doesn't offer the Pelham Blue 1966 LE. Too bad, it's a gorgeous finish on an SG style model. The sound - awesome, it can be whatever you want it to be, really versatile with the coil tapping PRO pickups. I got this over a Gibson 70's reissue SG with the mini-humbuckers costing 4x the price I paid, and to be honest, the Epi is a better deal. Want an SG, especially with a unique finish (not Red), this is a great way to go.

Sound: Once I had a complete re-setup done, the sound is acceptable. The heavy neck really is bothersom. Feature: From watching the repair tech try to put the screws back into the access plate on the back, the wood looks quite dry and not really of good quality Ease of Use: THis certainly is no Gibson Les Paul custom. It really is not as good as the Epiphone SG-310. The coil taps are ok. Quality: Cosmetically, the guitar misses the mark. There are short dark streaks in the silver finish and darker areas around the neck joint, the tips of the "horns". It really looks good; from a distance. Value: NO! Manufacturer Support: Epiphone's answer to my complaint about the neck heavy condition and the necessity of constantly supporting the neck was, "Get a wider strap". I am using a 4 and 1/2 inch strap already. Anything wider would look like Klingon shoulder armour. The Wow Factor: I have many guitars. This number includes: two Epiphone Acoustic guitars and four Epiphone electrics. I am sure, now, that that number will not increase...but rather will decrease. For sure the SG-400Pro "TV Silver" is not a permanent addition to my "collection". Overall: I am a long-time Gibson and Epiphone fan, owner and player. For 30+ years I have played my Gibson Les Paul Custom as my main guitar. I am now old. It is too heavy to play for hours. I bought an Epiphone SG-310. It is great: plays and sounds great. I saw an ad for the SG-400 pro TV Silver. I bought it. This guitar is not what I expectecd. The workmanship is sloppy, out of the box the intonation was gross,the input jaack kept falling baki into the guitar because the nut was stripped, and when the repairman fixed that and tried to put the screws back into the access pannel on the back of the guitar, they were all stripped out. That is not the worst. The guitar is so neck heavy that if i take my left hand away from supporting the neck, even with a wide suede leather strap, the headstock quickly ends up at my knees. It just sits on stage for looks, but not close-up looks!

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
