I bought this one is black from musicians friend website in 2007. At the time i didn't know it was available in the ivory color. fucking love this guitar though. plays really nice!
Rythmtr epiphone has been apart of gibson usa since 1957. The epi sg's i mentioned are under a strict watch by gibson usa. The only reason why the eppi's cost much less is because the overseas luthiers make much less money than the usa luthiers.
And a few days ago already the epiphone limited edition 50th anniversary 1961 sg sold on EBAY for $825. Theres only 2 guitar companys in the world that make and the REAL SG's they are gibson usa and epiphone period.
Rythmtr epiphone g-400 standard 1962. The 1966. the limited 50th anniversary 1961 and the epiphone custom sg. Are all gibson usa Authorized this means there REAL! 3 months ago i saw a 2010 model epiphone g-400 standard 1962 sg. On EBAY SOLD $765
this is a cheap $400 copy of the expensive $4000 Gibson SG tuxedo, I prefer my Bumstead that look better and have my custom electronic mods for the same price as an epiphone.
@TheDacy if you can afford the real thing buy the gibson sg custom tuxedo, this is Gibson Custom SG Custom Stopbar Les Paul Electric Guitar on musiciansfriend.
i have this guitar in red XD i've never seen any other G-400 in red like mine.. except for like, one other video on youtube, but no pictures on google
Jesus do i have to give everyone a history lesson. What we know as an SG was the replacement for the Les Paul, because for some reason nobody was buying Les Paul's in 1959. So Gibson designed a lighter cool looking radical design and they called it the new Les Paul, but there was a problem Les Paul himself hated the guitar so he wanted his name removed from it, but they had already made a ton of those little plastic covers that say les paul so for 3 years they put them on and then stopped in 64'
This guitar is wrong...like any other sg ever created....i'm sick and tired of you guys,this guitar is NOT a les paul custom.This guitar has worst playability ever from a G-400.If you wont a real epiphone guitar,buy an original LES PAUL shaped one!
The reason it says Les Paul Custom, is because in the '60s Gibson released the SG in the Les Paul series, but Les didn't like it and made them take it out, and that's when it was called SG for Solid Guitar. Don't ask why it says Les Paul Custom again.
@inhabia128 in the early 60's gibson called these les pauls because sgs were based on the les paul, so since this is a reissue they wanted to be historically acurate and they called it a les paul
i got dat shit its so sick, great for metal all the way to jazz, clean, and blues the middle pick up gives the guitar a wide verity of tones and sounds. i like this guitar allot because there are three volumes and one tone. so it can have so meny differnt tones, so i love this guitar and i recomend it!!!!!!
I've rencently starter playing guitar and enjoy playing classic rock like acdc and I know sg's are great for that, But I like playing metal songs to metallic/killswitch ect would this guitar also be good for metal?
i've been playing around 8 years and i bought this after my 74lp custom got stolen and its the most versatile thing ever i just put some seymore duncan p rails for pickups even stock the thing was amaizing
the sg was originally released as a les paul but the guitarist les paul said it looked to evil so they called it the sg which is short for solid guitar i own a 66' reissue sg
what do you think i should get? an epihpone riviera custom or this? i liek playing jack white songs and really distorted post hardcore music and all that, so i dotn knwo what p90's would sound like, and three humbuckers sounds liek a great deal to me. but the riviera also has 3 pickups( single coils) so what would be beter for my sound? ( distorted, jack white raconteurs esque)
mainly my vintage vs6 , i got a vid showing all my guitars , right now im looking for a new guitar , im not sure what to get , thats why im looking at this one , ive got a mad fetish for sg shaped guitar lol , what about you
i have a question ok well my sg has the three pickups but a black pick gaurd and mine also doesnt have les paul anywhere. is it still an sg g-400 custom or somethin else
no... its this guitar, i just replaced the hardware *tuners/bridge* and the pickguard throwing out the middle PU. why you ask, i wanted the inlays and the custom headstock.
@ledzeppelin9102 Back in the day, Les Paul decided to create a new version of his guitar with double cut aways.. it is said that he didn't like the new look and eventually had his name removed from it. The SG was born. This guitar is a tribute to the original SG - or Les Paul as it was once known. That's why you see Les Paul right there on the headstock, and if you look closely you will see a plate with the same writing between the nck pickup and the fretboard.
@ledzeppelin9102 from 1961 to 1964 (i think) the SG was the Les Paul, it was the redesigned version of the Les Paul. Gibson decided to do that because no one was really buying the Les Paul cause it looked too "Classy". then the most amazing guitar was born.
Cuz in the earlier year a SG was a Les paul so since they named this model an SG Ppl think this is an SG too, Practically it is but in the 50's or sumthing it still was a les paul;)
it's because it is a les paul!! it was supposed to be the les paul custom, but Les Paul himself didn't aproove the guitar, this is the main reason why he left gibson' epiphone just recreated what a custom was supposed to look like. this guitar is AWESOME
@ledzeppelin9102 That's because the SG was introduced as a Les Paul because the Les Paul we know tanked when it first came out, but Les didn't like the shape of the SG so he made Gibson take his name off it, but because they had a ton of Les Paul Truss rods they used them on the SG until they ran out

@ledzeppelin9102 Thats what so special on this guitar, well black one is discontinued now, but back then this ones were going to be les pauls , but they didnt, its not some fake ass chinese shit replica, its the real deal.
My best friend has an all balack one does anyone know were I can get one because he lives in another state so I don't know were. Also I apologise for missspellings my kitten wont stop walking on my laptop.
Does it have 3 pickups like this one? if so, you need to buy this and a black pickguard with it, then swap the white part on this guitar for the black. If there are only 2 pickups, that is just the regular G400 SG, which I own
Okay don't talk to me like I'm a dumbass i'm not sure of this but I am 95% sure i know more about guitars than you. You are wrong it can still be a custom like this one if it has only two pickups. Also i said it was all black meaning the pick guard too. Now if someone could answer me instead of fill my brain with nonsense, say something that is not true and, insult and waste my time i would be truly grateful.
