The Epiphone G-400 is a great first SG-style guitar. With a pair of AlNiCo humbuckers and Mahogany body, the G-400 offers excellent sound for the price.
Overview
The Epiphone G-400 features a classic double cutaway shape with 2 AlNiCo humbuckers, chrome hardware, 24.75 in. scale, Mahogany neck and body, and Rosewood fingerboard with trapezoidal inlays. At this price, the G-400 is an excellent investment on a real SG-style guitar.

"Amazing Guitar."
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
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.
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.
Features
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.
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.
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.… read more
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.
Manufacturer 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.
The Wow Factor
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.
