Epiphone SG Special review

[seanNnoa]

The strings on mine are way too high.

@duncers i would say if your first guitar or if your looking for something to have as practice instrument or just a beater i would recommend it, the pick ups could give more out put but its decent. I have had mine for 4 years and just bought a used Schecter C-1 Elite from a pawn shop for 200, perfect condiction I would recommend going to guitar center, pawn shops, play a couple see whats comfortable and whats good for what your playing. But epiphones doe fall apart with time u will replace alot

[flamedudeNL]

I dont like the pick ups. I think im gonna buy seymour duncan invaders. Tom delonge has them too.

[corgi37]

I've dropped mine twice due to the terribly placed strap button on the back of the guitar. Who's bright idea was that? I was nearly in tears, but this is a tough guitar. I got mine in Hong Kong a few years ago. These SG's are ok, but i had a no-name copy back in the early 80's that was much better. I'm getting a Tele in the next couple of months though.

[tanoobular2]

hey anyone thats thinking about buying this instrument i have to warn that Epiphone SG special series is a very cheaply made series. I have owned my for almost three years and almost every piece of hardware has failed, pick ups 4 months after purchase, the Chanel switch broke(happens with other guitars too) the nut, the the jack input just broke 4 days ago need to be fixed oh and all the nobs fall off.. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

@tanoobular2

wat is better in an sg style by epiphone? i thinking of buying this but so many people have been sayin its good, and some that its bad ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!:(

[666dannyb666]

i put pink ernie balls on mine as well

its awesome!

want to change my pickups to emg 81 60

or 81 85

[spiritwind67]

I like mine. I recently had the action adjusted and had the tuning pegs replaced with good old sg pegs. I play clean blues and am pleased. "Intermediate" is my level. (But gettin' better!) Why is it so "cheap"? -- alder/maple wood body, bolted on neck, cheap tuning pegs (resolved on mine). Still, good guitar for price. Easy and fun to upgrade.

[kempobrad]

spider 3 has well more than 4 settings

[NoName01071992]

[trousien]

[COD5FTW94]

[jonwon17]

[Wellsypig15]

which is best this or the squire strat?

[MoMoMEGATRON]

For sure this. The squier Strat is soo overrated. It never stays in tune. Also.. they aren't very durable.

[bigflytrap]

My 9 year old Squire Strat stay in tune for months at a time. Of course, I don't play it much.

[trousien]

lol if your a real guitar player you change strings every month or else they snap before they get out of tune

[Superninjasam]

@MoMoMEGATRON my squire strat stays in tune very well so you are wrong

and im not a fender fanboy

[duncers79]

@MoMoMEGATRON

tooootally agree. my friend had both but the squire broke within a week of it being bought. the sg is supposed to be alot better thats why i want one :D

[popgunparadise]

@MoMoMEGATRON yea i got a strat and im not lovin it i mean i got it a while ago as a beginner guitar but the there is a lot of buzz cuz the pick ups suck.. its not a bad guitar just im consiering trading it in for the sg special here

[joewhitt5050]

[MoMoMEGATRON]

[Crazyrockerfreak96]

[MoMoMEGATRON]

I know it's an absolutely fabulous guitar. But only for a year or two. Then it goes wack.

[MoMoMEGATRON]
