From Our Research Team:

G-400 Classic SG

The Gibson SG has been one of rock 'n roll's mainstays since the beginning of the electric guitar, and is known for its sustain and great tone. Just ask Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath or Pete Townshend of the Who, and don't forget the ledgendary Gibson SG Double Neck as played by Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin!

In the late 50's Gibson introduced the SG Series of solid body guitars. They had a rather thin twin horn body. This two horned body is what gives the SG more access to the higher frets on the fretboard (Could this be why people call guitars there AXE?) It had a somewhat sinister look to it so much so that Angus Young (of AC/DC) had Gibson make one with a lightning bolt.

The Epiphone G-400 is a faithful reproduction of the legendary the 1962 Gibson SG, with a solid mahogany body, slim taper mahogany neck, and separate volume and tone controls for each of the high-output humbuckers. The Epiphone G-400 possesses all the bite, tone and comfort, at a fraction of the cost!

A Dream Come Two

by Brian E. from North Florida

When I bought the G-400, I was expecting that with it, I could up my musical "game" and also impress crowds I played in front of; as expected, both happened flawlessly.

In the end, this guitar is probably the best choice I could have made in lieu of an actual Gibson SG. Now though, I may just rock the G-400 from now on.

5/5, great guitar. close [-]
