Vital mid-'60s SG specs for a screaming low price.

The Epiphone Limited Edition 1966 G-400 Electric Guitar is a Gibson-authorized version of their great '66 SG with a solid mahogany body and slim-taper set mahogany neck. Some subtle-yet-significant differences make this one special. Instead of the small, lower horn-only pickguard, it has the larger pickguard so there aren't any pickup mounting rings around the high-output Alnico Classic humbuckers (the '66 SG had P-90 pickups). Separate volume and tone controls for each of the pickups give you complete control of your sound. The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece provide more sustain and make string changing easier. The deep double-cutaway lets you reach all 22 frets with ease.

I got my Epi SG yesterday, and it was love at first sight. The guitar looks beautiful(I got the Vintage Cherry)The guitar is very light.It has Grover tuners.Had to change the strings cause the ones that come with it are not that good.The edges of the frets were rolled really nice.Intonation was almost 100%.Factory set up was pretty close.The neck is slim.Love the guitar and you can't beat the price.

Finally a quality SG

I bought this guitar on the 5th of January, received it on the 8th, and I still can't put it down. Finally Epiphone releases a quality SG with the full pickguard. Right out of the box this thing reeked of awesomeness, and after a quick action tweek and new strings, it was good to go. The finish is flawless, as is the fretwork. Its even made in Korea, so you know quality control is good. Don't buy a name, get quality with Epiphone. The pickups sound great thru my 30w amp, and they dont get muddy when you back the volume down. If you play AC/DC, The Doors, or even Black Sabbath, this is the best deal you can get.

Amazing

I have had this guitar for 5 months, and this is by far one of the best guitars I have ever played. Its Classic Alnico pickups can are amazing they can go anywhere from classic rock to screaming hard rock. It has Grover tunners which are amazing almost never going out of tune. It has so many little things that only thousand dollar guitars have. I highly recomind this guitar to any one from a beginner to the perfict guitar for an intermediate to expert guitarist.

Well ive owned this guitar for 9 months and it is a great guitar. The pickups are very good for a guitar in this price range, the neck pup has alot of low end, "I like to have alot of bass on my bridge and when I first switched over to my neck it was just to much and I had to turn the bass down", but all that low tone is perfect for fat dirty blues sound. Not much to say about the bridge pup it's preety average but good. The action on it was set at a ridiculous hieght so I had to lower it alot but some players like it high. Lowering the action did give me some fret buzz but it's not bad and I can't even hear it through my amp, and it can be fixed with some minor adjustments. The only problem with my guitar was the bridge, it sucks! a couple of the saddles are bigger than the others "one in particular" and the strings are alot higher than the others, but I planed on getting a tonepros graph tech anyways so it's not that big of a deal to me and that was just my guitar probably not the case with many or any of the others. And of course it is neck heavy but sg's usaually are and it's not a problem while playing, "I rest my arm against the body when I play and that is more than enough to keep it in place". All in all it's a great guitar amazing tone and great, comfortable neck, can't beat it at this price.

L/E sg g-400

this nice with allot of little things that could be much better. buzz,pickup mounting,knobs,pickguard mounting, these are all things that can be made better if there was better Q\C . but the one thing I can't get over is the bridge mounted on top of the pickguard, just how is this right, to change the pickups you have to get it off. with that said it sounds great plays great looks so sweet. and at 349.00 with a free hard case. it was a sweet deal
