"Love it!"
Feature:
No accessories, but the humbuckers make it awesome.
Quality:
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.
Sound:
Its awesome, its like you can play all the way from blues and jazz to metal and punk.
Support:
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.

"Everything you could ask for in a guitar... especially the price"
Feature:
When I got this guitar, everything was perfectly set up. I was able to plug it right in and play, and I was really happy with that. The action was set to perfection. One thing I did notice though, is that the screws in the bridge tend to rattle when you're playing. Mine was especially true for the B and high-E strings. But you really can't hear that through the amp so it's easy to work past. All I can say is I wish this had a whammy bar, but that's just personal preference.
Quality:
This guitar is extrememly reliable and besides the aformentioned looseness of those bridge screws, you can totally depend on it to keep going and going through the years.
Value:
You simply can't beat this price. I actually got mine cheaper than its price now. It's truly a price that can't be beat for this quality.
Desirability:
Everything about this guitar's appearance is beautiful. It really makes me feel confident when I'm playing in front of people, because I look down at this incredible piece of equipment I have in my hands, and think to myself, "Yeah, that's right, that's MY guitar."
Sound:
No matter where I plug this guitar in it sounds amazing. The clean tones are crisp and well-defined, and when you throw distortion into the mix, it's raw and crunchy. I play a lot of hard rock and metal (mostly Metallica), and this guitar really helps me achieve the kind of sound i'm looking for. I really couldn't ask for a better sounding guitar. And at the price, it's just incredible.
Ease of Use:
This guitar is so easy to use. Every time I pick it up I'm able to create new and exciting sequences. The harmonics are incredible, and actually quite easy to achieve. You can really do some cool stuff with this guitar.
Support:
Well, I've never needed support, but knowing Epiphone, it's probably good.
Overall:
I'm already in the search for a new guitar, but this one will always be held dear to me. I'll never get rid of this guitar, even if everything gets rundown and broken...which isn't likely.

"My epiphone special model SG is great because..."
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:This guitar came with no extra accessories.One feature I wish it had was a wammy bar. Ithas 2 humbuckers,tune-o-matic,and rosewood finger board.
Quality:
This guitar is made well,but has its faults.The finish and fit is very good.The input of the guitar comes loose constantly amnd always has to be tightened.
Value:
Yes
Desirability:
This guitar has a very simple design to it.Its simple shape makes it easy to play.This guitar comes in black and a deep cherry red.
Sound:
This guitar has sweet sound.It has the same sound of a gibson SG,and is about 800$ less expensive.
Ease of Use:
It isn't hard at all to get great sounds from this guitar.It is easy to modify your sound by just using the tone knob.This guitar has a very thin finger board,so it is easy to play.
Overall:
So far i've had this guitar for about 3 monthes, and i expect to have it for the rest of my life.Of all guitars i compared this one comes out on top it has great sound,color,and price.What I like most about this guitar is its great sound.
"Worth the money to play till I get more money. :D"
Feature:
Again, it's $150. Consider the Squier strat, priced the same. This SG's pickups, bridge, machine heads...they're all better.
Quality:
Sometimes the input comes loose, and the hardware isn't top of the line, but it works. Well. You could drop this thing from your roof and tune it back up and it would probably still rock out.
Value:
Easily answered. This is a guitar probably worth 200-250 to any other company--not to mention the fact you're actually buying an SG for this amount, which is unheard of. Worth it.
Desirability:
Reason I got this over other, similarly priced (and some better quality) guitars is that it's an SG. Who doesn't love the SG?
Sound:
Considering it's $150 it's a terrific sound...but because it's an SG I'd expect a whole lot better. The intonation constantly needs readjustment and the action is...let's just say inconsistent. When I've got it all set up the way it needs to be, though, it purrs.
Ease of Use:
It's an SG. 'nuff said. It might have gotten a ten but there are certain things I have trouble with, usually as a result of the intonation problems (harmonics are inconsistent, pinch harmonics can prove almost impossible).
Support:
I have no idea.
Overall:
Worthwhile investment, until I can afford a better one.

"Great value and product"
Feature:
Pretty good, 2 humbuckers, 1 volume, 1 tone, and 1 bass-treble switch. The nut is really good, the strings wont be popping out on this guitar
Quality:
The only complaint is that the nut on the input sometimes comes out if this happens to you, open the back and screw it back in also use some nut glue, it keeps it in place. Other then that everything is ship-shape.
Value:
Ive look all over, and couldnt find a better price. Especially with the free shipping
Desirability:
Not as great as a real Gibson SG, but since those are so expensive, this is a nice value, and looks sexy in black
Sound:
The sound is truly great, especially when accompied by a nice amp, i use a Marshall Half stack
Ease of Use:
Pretty easy to set up, has lots of different sound possibilties
Support:
Im gonna give it a 10, because i havnt had to deal with the company for any problems
Overall:
Awesome guitar

"GREAT BUY"
Feature:
The parts it has are good quality again for the price, but it could use a second volume and tone control, and a pickguard would be nice
Quality:
The best quality Ive seen on a guitar of this price
Value:
This really is the best guitar you can get for $150 and its not just a starter guitar
Desirability:
I personally think the SG is the best looking guitar in the world

It sounds great for the price but obviously its not a gibson
Ease of Use:
It sounds real nice could be a little cleaner but het its $150

"SG for Sexy Guitar"
Feature:
The guitar has only two knobs: volume and tone. Volume is volume but the tone knob has a very drastic difference between 0 and 10. I got the players pack cuz I play accoustic and just am geting started with my own electric. overall features arent the best I've see.
Quality:
I read about people complaining cuz their SG broke cuz their strap broke. Your idiots. Its not the guitars fault you jump around trying to be punk with a crappy strap. mines had some hits and there isnt a mark on it. However I'm sure it couldnt take a big drop such as the one mentioned above without getting banged up.
Value:
best for this much money
Desirability:
This guitar is hot. U can easily reach the all 22 frets. The paint job is hot. Not pick guard so when it gets thrashed people can see u rock. solid. just a beautiful guitar.
Sound:
I just got this guitar with all the factory parts no upgrades, took it to my friends house a few times who owns a 650 dollar guitar or somehting like that, and he kept asking to see mine. The sound is as good as you can get with 150 dollar.
Support:
groovey
Overall:
Its the best for this much money but u may find something better give or take a hundred dollars.

"HOT DEPENDABLE PERFORMANCE AT AN ECONOMICAL PRICE!"
Feature:
As soon as you purchase your SG, get a strap lock kit, there usually about 20 bucks or less and its well worth the small investment. While playing lead, sustain a note and rapidly switch your togle switch back and forth. It takes a little practice but you will love the effect (usually used at the end of a song, or during a guitar solo)This is a rock solid guitar and will satisfy any true players form.
Quality:
For you pros. you know this is a guitar you can count on so you can enjoy focusing on your music.
Value:
This is one of the best guitars you can own for the modest price!
Desirability:
The SG is HOT!
Sound:
My name is Brad Lanier. Im a 25 yr pro. guitar player and I still love the SG! I love the rich, meaty crunch. I play a lot of high energy bluesey rock, the sg fits right in. The deep rich sound response fits my signature sound.I definately would recomend this guitar to the starter guitarist and to any pro.I blow my SG through the latest VOX digitube combo amp and hello to all the hamonics and feedback you disire! I read others negative comments on the action and can only guess it just was not set up properly, the SG I own has the best action of all my guitars. If your unsatisfied with your SG, take it to your local guitar tech and have the harmonics and action set. It will be well worth the small fee. Keep Rockin! Brad Lanier of "audiopath".
Ease of Use:
You can push this guitar through any amp you choose but I belive with the double hums. its highly intended for major rockin! Marshall, Vox, Mesa Boogie etc.
Support:
Never needed support!
Overall:
Never, I do not plan of giving up my SG!
