Feature:
No real extra efatures, just a plain old geetar. It doesn't need any gimmiks to be excellent. I bought a hardshell case so i could take it places.

Quality:
I have had this guitar for three years now and have not had any problems at all.

Value:
plays just like a gibson you found in your closet: an old friend. worth every penny

Sound:
This guitar is perfect for any classic rock, and maybe a little metal if you have some high gain pedals and replace the pickups with Invaders or Dimebuckers. It sounds great clean, and is pretty loud without an amp.

Support:
I have never needed them.

Overall:
Good for everything. 'Nuff said.

Feature:
The humbuckers sound great and the Grovers work well. Its a shame theres no whammy bar.

Quality:
The SG is finnished to a high standard, there was a paint blemish on mine but thats not really a big deal. all the componants seem to be of a high quality and nothing has broken yet. Its fairly weighty compared to other cheaper guitars which clearly shows the quality of the wood.

Value:
I would happliy have paid more for this guitar. I cant see it breaking anytime soon so it will probably last for years. If you cant afford a Gibson, i recomend this guitar.

Desirability:
When you show it to people, they automaticly say "wow, that must have cost loads!"

Sound:
pretty much what you'd expect from an SG. Sounds great clean and full and crunchy on overdrive. Excellent for Rock and Metal or anything that needs a crisp, full tone.

Ease of Use:
The neck is comfortable however you will notice that it is neck heavy. this is realy annoying for a few days but then you get used to it and it's fine. Having the full 22 fret access is makes soloing alot more comfortable. The Grover tuners are excellent, you can trust them to stay in tune.

Support:
Not needed

Overall:
amazing guiatr. i recomend it to anyone who has been playing long enough to apppreciate how good it sounds.

Feature:
Lead, Hex-key, poster & user manual

Quality:
Flawless finish & Grover tuners. Nuff said.

Value:
I paid more than our US cousins would pay but still a bargain.

Desirability:
A beautiful & classic design. The Gibson version makes Angus Young look good while dressed as a school boy! It's Heidi Klum with strings.

Sound:
Played a 'proper' SG and then the Epi. Sounded the same to my ears. Rich & lots of lovely sustain.

Ease of Use:
People here have said it's not a beginners guitar. I'm a relative beginner and, er, it is. I bought a so called beginners Strat copy. It was awful!!!!

Support:
Not dealt with them but will give them the beefit of the doubt.

Overall:
For the price, the Epiphone SG is ridiculously good. Buy one. They're way cooler than LPs.

Feature:
came with just a poster that i have on my wall. the brown finish is really great. better than glossy finsih of course cause you dont get all the scratches and fingerprints.

Quality:
this guitar is made really good. ive dropper the thing dzens of times and it doesnt hurt it. the only problem ive had is all 4 of the knobs got real loose but its no big deal. its definately a well built guitar.

Value:
yes its definately worth it.

Desirability:
its a really good looking guitar nothing more nothing less.

Sound:
it sounds amazing!!!if you want to sound like angus young fo ac/dc this is you guitar. also it has good clean tones and even real good blues tones.

Ease of Use:
its so easy just to get a great sound. you can pretty much get any sound that you want. its a very flexible guitar for any kind of music. it is very playable but right out of the box just tune up and lower the action and you ready to go.

Support:
no problems

Overall:
i will be satisfied forever with this guitar. but i will soon upgrade to gibson sg's but will soon replace it with 2 gibson sg standards. it has helped me to learn guitar really nicely. i love it and cherish it so much im hopefully gonna buy a display case for it cause i love it so.

Feature:
No accessories. Just new strings.

Quality:
Perfect.

Value:
YES and more.

Desirability:
SEXY in WHITE!

Sound:
This guitar is the best kept secret in the industry. Period. The top-end store that sold it to me didn't want to admit how straight and flawless the neck was, the intonation was perfect, the strings perfect, the playability as good as any guitar I've ever played, and I've been playing since the early 60's. I just got rid of two Rickenbackers, because they played so BAD! Set up to death. This low-end Epiphone puts both of them to shame.

Ease of Use:
See above. Perfect.

Support:
NO problems.

Overall:
I'll never get rid of it. It's a keeper.

Feature:
I liked the fact Epiphone sent a cord with it. I wouldn't change a thing about this guitar!

Quality:
I loved it. Right as I opened the box, I was struck by the finish quality. The aged brown has the look of a fine piece of old furniture. The enclosed inspection card came with the string height measurements written in. Number 9, and the rest of the Epiphone team really shone on this guitar.

Value:
great price for a set neck electric!

Desirability:
It is a practical guitar; I've wanted a solid body electric for a while, but I wasn't sure which one until I read all the other reviews.

Sound:
This guitar sounds great, no matter what I play it through

Ease of Use:
It sounds good just by itself; the sustain is something to be envious of if you don't have it. The tone controls actually make a difference in the sound, unlike some guitars I've owned. I'd tell any and everyone who plays guitar to burn yours(outside)and follow this one like it's the ribwich!

Support:
I used the website to register the warranty; then I checked out some cool video lessons they were offering.

Overall:
I am extremely satisfied. In these days of planned obsolescence, where it can seem like everything a person buys new breaks within a month, it's good to know there is a company that still cares about making a quality product for a reasonable price. If this guitar gets lost or stolen, the only reason I would need to replace it would be if I broke it beating severely the responsible parties.

Feature:
Features aren't a big thing to me when it comes to guitars. I do like the pearl inlays and look of all the accesories on it.

Quality:
ITS AN EPIPHONE!!! I've had no problems as far as quality goes.

Value:
Well worth the price. This is a great axe for beginers and experts alike.

Desirability:
oh man!!! I cant tell you how many girls have said i looked sexy with this guitar! Ive had bands play it and every one says "I Want IT".

Sound:
This guitar sounds great!!! Through many amps its sound is awesome, but the best i've heard is through my line 6 spider. With this guitar you get great sustain, volume, distortion, and clean sound. Only sound problem i've had was when i'd bend my B or high E string above the tenth fret...This was easily fixed by slightly raising the bridge.

Ease of Use:
This SG is easier to play than any other guitar i've played in my life. With the deep cutaways it's soooo easy to play those high noted solos.

Support:
No PROBLEMS!!! Except the bridge needing to be raised due to the squeak my B and E string made if they were bended.

Overall:
Awesome axe...not much more i can say. I Think its the best sounding guitar i've heard...in person anyway. THIS IS THE SHIZNIT!!!!!

Feature:
basic guitar.....

Quality:
suprisingly well made. I bought this a few months ago as a back-up and couldn't be happier. very well made the pick-ups are less than bad though

Value:
best deal for anyone beginer to pro who needs a quality instument on a budget. You could spring the $300 on this and still get an amp for less than some guitars that are not made as well

Desirability:
It's an sg, need I say more

Sound:
the sound of this sg is muddy at best, but drop in a duncan jb in the bridge and you got a $1500 sg

Ease of Use:
depends on you

Support:
have no clue

Overall:
great value with quality still a big deal
