This is the first guitar I've purchased and I'll keep it for a long time. I also have a Epiphone LP custom and I like the Epi SG G-400 more than the LP. In the vid the guy said the SG has a nice tone, not too bright and not too heavy which I like. Where the LP Custom tone is a bit heavy. Also, he forgot to mention that this SG has a slim neck which personally I love. It's a good guitar in general. Just because it's cheap, doesn't mean it's for beginners.
I really dont know why everybody is crazy about Gibsons. My first guitar was a Gibson and i hated it with all my heart. The sound quality of it was just complete trash my second and current guitar is a Sg and i love it. Epiphone all the way :)
@Lucap1000 I hate that I was too young to know anything about guitars when I got my first guitar. And nice! A fender mustang, I went to guitar centre and played out of the mustang III and my dad asked when I got so good and I said the amp is doing most the work! Haha and a new guitar will do that to you. Haha
pff good starter my ass. The epiphone special II and special I, or the g310 and les paul 100 are the starter guitars. The g400 is an intermediate guitar at least. If your a musician this guitar will probably suit you for quite some time. I changed the bridge pickup on mine 3 years ago, and I don't find any need for an upgrade. Considering the Les Paul Studio is 100 euros more expensive, this is really an awesome bang for the buck.
@creationoftheworld Go to Musician's Friend (Just type it into google.) and in their search box in the top righthand side of their site, type "Epiphone g400" and it will show you all the different models in the G400 series, including the SG G400.
I am thinking about getting an epiphone SG off eBay for like $160, it's my first electric but I do have an acoustic, I'm kinda goin the way of metal, Metallica ,megadeath, that sorta stuff, should I get it? Or get like a fender instead?
@Megapie678 All depends on the sound you wanna get out of it although you can play anything with any kind of guitar most of the tone work will be done by the pedals and your amp. This seems like a great guitar tho
@soulagent79 yeah are they any good thinking of getting one, already have a few fenders and a gretsch but i am just looking for something affordable and different to play.
@rustyjames761 Since Gibson luthier Mark Voltz has started working at the Epiphone factory in China in 2008 all their guitars have become extremely good. Even Angus Young bought two Epiphone SGs last year, this is no joke!
I fucken hate it when people say "is it a good starter?" because an epiphone is impossible for me and a lot of other people to afford. If you have this guitar be thankful. If you have a Gibson. You're a lucky bastard.
@lastofmykind8 what are you talking about? most epiphone guitars are very affordable and most guitarists can afford them. idk where you buy your guitars but these arent very expensive.
@Lucap1000 we're uptight on money right now. and they dont understand the quality of instruments. i have a cheap fender strat Copy guitar and a nameless brand ten watt amp. they think i dont need anything else. but i've had the guitar five years and the pickups are terrible..
@lastofmykind8, that's what I expected. I actually bought a new guitar because the one I had was an unknown brand, it had one humbucker pickup (bad for me), I had a small amp of a shit brand too... At first my mum didn't take buying a new guitar seriously, but since now i've started electric guitar lessons, and I'm a good player, she has let me and my dad go to the shop, we saw this guitar, and bought it. Now guess what? I like to play the guitar more!
@steelewolf365 the actual gibson sg standard definitely sound hotter than the g400 with stock pups. It depends whether you are willing to spend that much money for such a difference and the bindings which the epi sg don't have. Another way is to upgrade the g400 pickups for a hotter tone.
@steelewolf365 Epiphone, believe it or not, where rivaling Gibson's Archtop guitars, before one of the World Wars weakened the Epiphone Co., allowing Gibson to buy them out.
Obviously Gibson brand guitars use very high quality woods and materials, while Ephiphone uses decent, but not as fine materials.
I got a gibson les paul studio because I thought they looked better and did have relitively close sounds, although I did like the sound on the les paul a little better, but I later figured out they had this in silverburst :(
jesus man your down playing that guitar soooo much. that guitar is easily a semi-pro quality guitar. half the equipment on that is standard on EVERY gibson. the mahogany body, the grover tuners (which are like the best you can get). the alnico v's are pretty middle of the road but if you got a good amp your gonna sound like tony iommi.
PLUS the SUSTAIN
The set neck = better sustain
the downward head stock =better sustain
the tune-o-matic bridge+ stop bar tail piece = AMAZING SUSTAIN
@kody9898 I would go for a lp standard, although the lp 100s are very underrated and extremely good value for money. Both are better than the SG to be fair.
Part 2 i would never Choose a Gibson over todays Epiphones. I have a 2010 Epiphone G-400 Standard 62 sg and (2) 2011 Epiphone limited Edition 50th Anniversary 1961 Reissue sg's they are professional quality all the way through. No Gibsons for me.
Today's Epiphones are geared more towards the professional guitarist than the beginner. They are the very best in top quality there only down fall is there way under priced for the quality they deliver today.
Today's. Epiphone G-400 standard 62 is more for the professional player than the beginner so is the limited edition 50th anniversary 1961 Reissue sg. These two sg's I would never put in the hands of a beginner.
I have a G400 and for the price i paid, can't complain about it. But when i play standing up, the neck seems heavy, it tends to slide down. Is there something to do for it to keep steady? When Angus plays his SG, he lets go of it and it doesn't slide.
@helloimkevin10 it's devil horns ;) hahahah joking it plays good... i actually use my squier strat for church it's never let me down... but i've tried this epi... not bad at all
Every good guitarist knows that most of the Epiphones sg's and les paul's are way under rated. So i took my 2010 Epiphone G400 standard 1962 sg to a top luthier in new jersey. Said look it over and if it was made the same way in usa how much $800 to $850
Hello. I've been playing for 4 years on the electric guitar. I am interested in the Epiphone SG G-400. I play every single day for about an hour. Would this guitar be good for me? I tried this guitar at the store and a gibson sg standard but I didn't hear a difference for some reason. So anyways, would this guitar be good for me?
Also Vintage Gibson has said that the Epiphone custom shop limited edition 50th anniversary 1961 sg is 100% true to the original Gibson 1961 sg. They also said that this model is crafted so well that Gibson themselfs couldnt do any better.
As far as i'm concernd and theres many pro guitarist that are with me on this one. The Gibson standard SG. doesnt even compete with the 2010 model Epiphone G-400 standard 1962 SG or the Epiphone limited edition 50th anniversary 1961 SG.sorry Gibson NOT!
if i want to buy the exact guitar you have in the video, do i head for the g-400 or the vintage g-400 ? the color of yours its only available on the vintage one
@yugiohfrancis i could get a esp ex 400 second hand for £300 or a jackson king v js30kv with a line 6 spider 4 for £350 second hand which is better and could it be fake
@yugiohfrancis im on a buget of around £300 so not enough to buy it sepratly if i bought the esp i would buy a fender frontman 15 for £50 i am just being playing for 6 mounths but have a incredable teacher
@metallicafan123ful I'd still get the esp because if you keep that amp and get a new guitar then it would cost more than keeping the guitar and getting a new amp
@Zam0rak41 switch out the pickups and yes, thats what i did. i have one of the really old ones, and i loaded it with a zakk wylde EMG 81/85 combo and its awesome. not my main axe, just a backup. but it sounds amazing none the less. :)
@Zam0rak41 they're basically the shiny things you see under the strings on an electric guitar. they're electromagnets and they just pick up the vibrations and send it to the amplifier, creating your sound. its fine man. hope this helped :)
if u want a REALLY good epi g400, search for an older modell. the korean modells (before 2005) are awesome. i just bought a '96 modell and OMG.... awesome.. much much better than the chinese models. and the older models are cheaper, cause they are second hand guitars.
@cheapknockoffbassist can it be use like a Floyd rose. As in it just dosent give a low tone when you push down but can it give a high tone when you pull it up?
be aware people how much effects pedals enter into the sound. Ive got this guitar and he's got tones i haven't managed to get out of it yet. so if you want that sound you will also need pedals.
@tytoo94 deam really there like 150$+ i thought you could just put a simple whammy with out buying all that. is it worth the drilling into the guitar?
is this SG neck heavY and tends to tilt to the ground?

As far as i'm concernd and theres many pro guitarist that are with me on this one. The Gibson standard SG. doesnt even compete with the 2010 model Epiphone G-400 standard 1962 SG or the Epiphone limited edition 50th anniversary 1961 SG.sorry Gibson NOT!

if i want to buy the exact guitar you have in the video, do i head for the g-400 or the vintage g-400 ? the color of yours its only available on the vintage one

@Aiacos90 The exact guitar in the video is the G 400 with 'faded cherry' finish. Not to be confused with the
faded finish which is that ugly brown color.

which is better this that comes with a amp for £350 or a ibanez art 120 without a amp for the same i like metal and rock
metallicafan123ful 5 months ago
@metallicafan123ful the lower class ibanez's suck. i use this for punk and metal. its a good starter, the neck is quite thin. lasts 5 years.

@yugiohfrancis i could get a esp ex 400 second hand for £300 or a jackson king v js30kv with a line 6 spider 4 for £350 second hand which is better and could it be fake
metallicafan123ful 5 months ago
@metallicafan123ful i tend to like esp ltd so I'd say the ex400 and buy i separate line 6 but depends what you're playing
yugiohfrancis 5 months ago
@yugiohfrancis im on a buget of around £300 so not enough to buy it sepratly if i bought the esp i would buy a fender frontman 15 for £50 i am just being playing for 6 mounths but have a incredable teacher
metallicafan123ful 5 months ago
@metallicafan123ful I'd still get the esp because if you keep that amp and get a new guitar then it would cost more than keeping the guitar and getting a new amp
yugiohfrancis 5 months ago
@yugiohfrancis so i should get the esp and the frontman

@Zam0rak41 switch out the pickups and yes, thats what i did. i have one of the really old ones, and i loaded it with a zakk wylde EMG 81/85 combo and its awesome. not my main axe, just a backup. but it sounds amazing none the less. :)

@TriviumAscendancy1 Yea, but what are pickups? I'm not so familiar with the English music talk, sorry (:
Zam0rak41 4 months ago
@Zam0rak41 they're basically the shiny things you see under the strings on an electric guitar. they're electromagnets and they just pick up the vibrations and send it to the amplifier, creating your sound. its fine man. hope this helped :)

the ones made in china are by far the better ones.

if u want a REALLY good epi g400, search for an older modell. the korean modells (before 2005) are awesome. i just bought a '96 modell and OMG.... awesome.. much much better than the chinese models. and the older models are cheaper, cause they are second hand guitars.
newer G-400s are not bad actually.
ps: sorry for my shitty english

Is the Epiphone Limited Edition 1966 G-400 Electric Guitar about the same as this? Not much more expensive I think it's just cosmetic stuff.

As you showed how the different pickups sound I was hoping for more chords. But it is still a good review

Check out the "stetsbar." It's $300 but well worth it. You'll need a set of locking tuners, but there's no drilling required for it.

damn how to get those sounds? what kinda amps he's using and is there any pedal effect?
mjolnir313 7 months ago
be aware people how much effects pedals enter into the sound. Ive got this guitar and he's got tones i haven't managed to get out of it yet. so if you want that sound you will also need pedals.

@tytoo94 deam really there like 150$+ i thought you could just put a simple whammy with out buying all that. is it worth the drilling into the guitar?
