Feature:
It sure would have been nice if my this guitar were to come with a case but the cases for it are fairly inexpensive and easily obtainable.

Quality:
No noticeable blemishes, I love the flat satin black finish and the black chrome. The fit seems fine to me. I always worry about things breaking and I am pretty sure I will end up breaking a string or two as I get better and learn how to really make my guitar scream. I am unable to predict the lifespan of this product but hopefully my guitar will hold up to the test of time. As for use on the road I believe this guitar would be fine if babied as it doesn't appear to be as heavy and durable as some products out there on the market.

Value:
In my opinion... YES!

Desirability:
Massive Sex Appeal. Love It. Dark and Black with a Goth Feel.

Sound:
AMAZING sound. The Sales rep at Bizarre played it for me to make sure it had the sound I was looking for and I was blown away by what I heard. I am pretty much a beginner but I have had previous experience with Acoustic Guitars and different brands of electric guitars. As a longtime Metal and Blues fan I have a trained ear for guitar and I know what I like. Sounds wicked with my little cheapie Behringer amp. Very Impressed Indeed!

Ease of Use:
Quite simple. Nothing complicated here.

Support:
I just barely bought it so hopefully it will be a positive experience if I need help from them.

Overall:
I Have No Intention Of Replacing This Item at this time.

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

 

 
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.

Desirability:
I'm a soft touch for black SGs. I just have to deal with it...

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.

Support:
Can't say. Haven't dealt with them.

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.

Feature:
it didn't come with anything, just the guitar, but it goes fantastically with the stuff i bought at the same time (birthdays are great, so much stuff...), a Peavey Rage 158 amp, a marshall mini-amp. it just gets great sound whatever its played through. it sound particularly great through my brother's 300 watt beast of an amp :)

Quality:
Epiphone make great guitars, the only problem i am having is that it goes out of tune quite quickly, but that be the new strings or that i have my bedroom window open all day...

Desirability:
it is a very pretty guitar, everyone wants to play it lol. i use a Strap-Art white on black tribal strap, it looks perfect, the laydeez love it.. lol

Sound:
It gets great sound, much better than anything I have played before (jacksons, squire strats etc)

Support:
I haven't dealt directly with Epiphone, but the shop i went through to purchase it was extremely helpful, ordering it in from a different part of the country due to a shortage.

Overall:
i think i will play this guitar till i die, or till it falls apart, it is that good a guitar.

Well like I said its an over all good guitar.
It looks great, sounds good, and its an SG.
The only thing I'd do is change the pickups.
I really liked this guitar.
