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:
All the little things come into place. The speed knobs work like a dream, and the tuners are rock solid, no complaints at all.

Quality:
It seems like a very sound guitar. My strap system does not include straplocks or anything, and it's been dropped and banged time and time again, and it still plays the same and has no blemishes. However, the pickup selector sometimes dramatically lowers the volume when I switch from bridge to neck or both and then back to bridge, but it's pretty rare. Probably just the wiring. Plus, the washer around the input jack is loose, but that's easily fixed.

Value:
I think this is one great guitar, but maybe not worth the price it's currently at. Maybe just $50 less, and you'll have the perfect instrument.

Desirability:
This piece is just drop dead gorgeous. I don't know why anyone would buy it in black; the cherry red is nothing short of fantastic. The trapezoid mother-of-pearl inlays show that no detail can go too far. One thing that I would have liked to have as an option-the different style of pickguard, since the current one only covers the right side, but I guess that's how you distinct this guitar (besides the headstock) from the Gibson Standard SG.

Sound:
The sound on this guitar is simply awesome. There's no fret buzz, and you can get a lot of sounds when played in front of distortion or anything else. I got a unique sound from picking, which I can't say about other guitars that I enjoy. As for the pickups, the bridge humbucker creates a lot of amazing lead tones, but the neck pickup leaves a little to be desired. I'm thinking of replacing it with a Gibson.

Ease of Use:
This is an extremely playable guitar. The neck is lightning fast, and you can use the stopbar-tailpiece to vary your playing style (From bridge, above, etc.)

Support:
No problems so far.

Overall:
This guitar is sure to be my main instrument for years to come. It's perfect for the style of music I play, and unless I become rich or lucky (Both which I am not) enough to get a Gibson, I will definetly be searching Epiphones future products when shopping for my next instrument.

Feature:
Now here's where I have a slight problem.The upper frets had some serious fret buzz,but after raising the action a bit,that was resolved.Also,the neck is a little thicker than what I'm used to (Fender's),but that's not really a issue.All in all,not a bad instrument.

Quality:
Well,let me see,you got Grover tners on it,so tuning stability is a breeze.This stays in perfect tune,providing you have the bridge set even.Intonation was spot on.I didn't have to make any adjustments at all as far as that goes.Like I said earlier,the only thing that stopped me from giving this a perfect 10,was the fret buzz.

Value:
Definately worth $300.00.Hell,I would've paid more for this,but thank god I didn't have to.

Desirability:
The see through Cherry Red finish is gorgeous.It's very pleasing to the eye and screams class!

Sound:
I have no problem with the tone on this guitar.It just simply sounds amazing.I am a huge AC/DC fan,and with this,I can jam along to my CD's and get that Angus tone.I actually prefer this one to the Gibson counterpart.That's how good this sounds.

Ease of Use:
Besides getting used to the neck,I have no problem at all with getting the sound that I want.I play a lot of classic rock and blues,and this guitar is the perfect choice for it.

Support:
Epiphone and Gibson,along with Fender,are very accessable with the public and are willing to listen to anything that you have to say to them.

Overall:
I am keeping this guitar.It has a permanent place in my arsenal.

Feature:
Again the features are dependant on the set up. I set the rythemn pickups to be 'hotter' on the bass side and the treble pickup to really get as close to a twang as i could and it sounds great when they are both on. Some people knock the tuners on this model and keep in mind the weather and how well you string your instrument makes a difference. I was ready to get new tuners this summer but they have been keeping pitch this winter so I'll wait to see.

Quality:
Made well. My friend has a Gibson Les Paul Classic and he was impressed with the Epiphone G-400. Nothing has gone wrong with it and it looks great so I'm not complainng. I still may change the tuners but right now that is it.

Value:
I spent almost 6 monthes researching and compareing before I bought this guitar and I am still happy with it and the price. Sure I would love a Gibson but I don't have that cash. If you want humbucklers and a good product this is a good choice.

Desirability:
Think about the serious rock stars who have played his type of guitar. Peolpe comment on it all the time. It has the look that is for sure.

Sound:
I think many who think this guitar is a little 'flat' haven't taken the time to set it up correctly for what they want to do. Before setting it up I was thinking about changing the pickups. After a little research on the internet (you can spend $35 to have it done at a shop) I set it up my self and it sounds great. I can get a nice blues sound or crunch some chords if I want and then pop over for some hard riffs.

Support:
Never contacted them or needed too.

Overall:
I'm staying with this one for a while. Before I set it up the way I have it now I was already looking around but now I'm in love with it...lol

Feature:
Solid mohagany body and neck. 22 fret. Grover tuners. Chrome HB covers. Great finish.

Quality:
Its very well made. There are no blemishes and the finish is great. I believe this would be a good guitar for the road. Its pretty tough and its reliable enough. I think it will last a long time.

Value:
Great value. It is definatly worth the price.

Desirability:
This guitar is sexy. I have the alpine white version and it looks awesome. It also feels great. I love the balance.

Sound:
It sounds great. I dont think anything could sound better except a gibson. Its great for rock and metal but has no problem with country or classical.

Ease of Use:
Great action and playability. Fast and easy to play. Knobs and switch are easy to reach.

Overall:
I love this guitar and always will. I will probably get more guitars at some point in time, cuz i always see new stuff i want, but this will be my "go to" guitar. This guitar is way above average and the best for the price. If stolen i would buy again.What i like most is the balance and feel. There is nothing i dont like about it.

Feature:
The guitar had great parts! I loved how it came with speed knobs and chrome hardware. The knobs were brand new, no dents no cracks, etc, and they worked great! The switch was rotated so you switch it left to right rather than up and down, but I like it like that! This epiphone came with grover tuners, and man are they good. Although I wish MY g-400 came with some humbucker covers, just to top it off!

Quality:
The G-400 is amazing. When I got my G-400 it was brand new, there was no dents, no blemishes, and man oh man was it kept in good condition at the store. Everything was on in place, the tuners were tight on, the knobs were put on perfectly, no missing bolts! The frets are almost EXACTLY right on! I can play a variety of songs and such without the guitar going out of tune. I have had the guitar for about 3 weeks now, and man of man, I have only tuned it once, and it stays in tune forever!

Value:
For a guitar that's only 450$ CAD, I am IMPRESSED by the incredible value of this beast. It is just like any Gibson, but it's just less authentic(since Gibson is the maker of the SG, etc..)! If I had a budget, I'd think of getting a Gibson Les paul, since the Epiphone G-400 sounds JUST LIKE a Gibson SG!

Desirability:
When I stepped into Long & Mcquade, I looked around, saw many les pauls, and lots of strats & telecasters, I turned and looked at the corner, and there it was. I spotted the a wonderful looking SG. I really like how it has that Demonic, Satanic look into it, by the horns. It looks really nice because when held it, and wore it on and started playing it, damn did I look good with an SG!

Sound:
The sound of this beast is incredible, I don't know if its for every G-400, but my G-400 came with a Seymour Duncan humbucker, and a ceramic 490t hotwired. Sounds incredible with distortion on treble AND rythym! I am really impressed with how many tones you can reach with this beast. I can reach Led Zeppelin tones, AC/DC tones, and more tones! The guitar is pretty good clean too, although i'd prefer it on distortion. A bad thing is that you would need to turn down the two volume knobs to half if you want a good clean sound, other than that, this thing sounds just like a Gibson!

Ease of Use:
The G-400 is very easy to get used to! I can play from a variety of riffs, to solos really easy on this guitar! It is VERY easy to reach the top frets without a fuss! I am very impressed but how easy it is to play on this guitar!

Support:
Epiphone's support team is incredible. I have an Epiphone DR200 acoustic guitar, and once it fell down while I was sleeping and the headstock broke off, I called Epiphone, and they offered to give me a brand new epiphone DR 200. They were really kind and helpful, and they give great support!

Overall:
I find the Epiphone G-400 an amazing rock beast. I think I will be playing this guitar for YEARS! Until I get a job and buy a gibson les paul standard. I like the SG just as much as a Les paul, but now that I have a Epiphone SG that is just like an Gibson SG, I think i'll get a Gibson Les Paul Standard, because I've never had one before.

Feature:
Great features. Love treb and rythum effect and 2 tone and 2 volume nobs for your likings.

Quality:
Love it!

Desirability:
Great looking guitar. Next to my warlock it is one of my best guitars.

Sound:
I have played a $2200 gibson sg 61' reissue and this G400 has the exact same tone and sound produced by the wright player. Its one awesome kick ass guitar! You can go to Sabbath to AC/DC to Jazz with the rythum and trebble effects on it. I bought it at 12 sharp the other day and put it down at 12 sharp A.M. I love this guitar! Black is the best!

Ease of Use:
If you know how to play the lightness and fit of guitar only enhances your playing.

Support:
Don't need it.

Overall:
BUY IT! YOU WILL NOT BE DISATISFIED!!!!!!!!!!!

Feature:
Looks awesome. comes with .10 gauge strings which is good for this type of guitar. The neck is glued on rather than bult on, which I prefer.

Quality:
This guitar was made very well and it is easy to tell. But my guitar teacher has the same guitar from made about 10 years earlier. His has a slightly thinner body, mine is kind of squarish.

Value:
For what you pay, this is a very nice guitar it is worth every cent.

Desirability:
I knew I had to have this guitar as soon as I saw it, I'm keeping it.

Sound:
The sound on this guitar is amazing for what you pay. There is a little neck buzz on the low E string but other than that, I love it. When I got mine I needed to fix the intonation and the action was a bit too high. Since then, it's been perfect.

Ease of Use:
This guitar is very easy to get the hang of, Epiphone/Gibson guitars tend to have shorter necks so it seems like the frets are all pushed up towards the head, after you get used to that it plays like a dream.

Support:
haven't needed it.

Overall:
This guitar could work for me for many years to come.

Feature:
Let's see, you have Block Inlays, Cherry Red finish which is just drop dead gorgeous. The infamous devil horns which Les Paul himself was not a fan of. The neck itself, is a little thicker than that on my LP Studio but it only tok me a few minutes to get used to it. The features are pretty much the same as those on my LP Studio with the exception of the Block Inlays and the Chrome covered pups!

Quality:
Here's where I had a slight problem. It seems that the setup on this was sub par. I reccomend that if you are going to get one of these, that you have a setup done on it. I've been playing for over 36 years and I do my own setups so I was able to handle that by myself. On mine, the intonation was off, along with the tailpiece which had to be raised a bit. Also the bridge and the pups needed to be adjusted and the tuners needed to be tightened up. Once I took care of all that and restrung it,I was rewarded with a guitar that sounded great and stays in tune quite well!

Value:
This is definately worth the $349.99 price tag, considering that the Gibson counterpart goes for at least $699.00. Not everyone can afford a Gibson and IMO, once setup properly, these Epiphones are just as good and are a great value for the price.

Desirability:
How could you not want one of these in the Cherry Red finish?

Sound:
The Chrome covered Alnico Humbuckers are just amazing and are IMO, much better than those on my Epiphone Les Paul Studio. They have more of a brighter and snappier tone to them with a little more sustain, thus making this the perfect guitar for Heavy Metal which is just right up my alley!

Ease of Use:
Once I set this up and intonated it,I was in heaven. The action on this is nice and low, and the Grover tuners keep this monster in perfect tune. This guitar is built for speed so be careful when handling it or you might get burned. LOL!

Support:
Never had to contact them.

Overall:
This is a keeper and is a welcomed addition to my collection. I would replace it if anything ever happened to it. I'm a huge AC/DC fan and this guitar gives me the tone for playing those classic Angus Young riffs.

Quality:
I have had mine 2 years and play every weekend at least in church if not another gig. It is like brand new. No problem with the electronics. My only complaint is the tuners. I have struggled with intonation. I have finally found the right match of strings and intonation.

Value:
Great guitar for the money. I planned to buy the Gibson SG and actually like the feel of this better. Saved a chunk of change.

Sound:
Great sound. I'm able to switch easily between crunchy rock or smooth jazz like vibes.

Support:
I have asked Gibson.com a couple of questions and they immediately email me an answer.

Overall:
Beautiful finish and a great value.
