Review: Beautiful looking and sounding guitar for the value - Great entry-level guitar from Gibson (they own Epiphone). Beautiful tone and pitch. Love the Gibson famous double humbucker pickups found on Les Pauls and SGs. At entry-level, you only get the volume and tone knobs, but a decent amp and fx pedal will fix that. Bought it for my son, but he plays his Ibanez more, so I've been playing it more.
Review: Excellent guitar - I was very impressed with the quality, finish and playability of this guitar. I've been playing for 30 years and own about a dozen electric guitars of various makes across a wide range of prices. I wanted to get an SG to play some classic rock and have fun with. I didn't expect much for the price, but I tried this guitar and the G400 Pro and honestly preferred the feel of this one. The guitar came boxed with an inner box to protect it during shipping. Although playability out of the box was fairly good, I had to perform a setup to get the guitar exactly as I wanted. I removed the strings, rubbed down and oiled the fingerboard, then strung it with D'Addario 10-46 nickel wounds. The truss rod required a quarter turn adjustment to get the neck profile straight. The intonation and action were pretty much perfect out of the box. I just raised the action a tiny bit to make it more in line with my other instruments. The pickups are a bit darker than a traditional SG and while they sound great heavily overdriven, the clean sound is a bit lacking in character. After a week or so of playing, I replaced the pickups with a set I bought from desertcart: https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B009A5JA98/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 These pickups are amazing value for money and sound fabulous. However the pickup frame was larger than the original stock pickups so I had to rout the body slightly to get the new pickups to fit. This was a simple operation which only took me 10 minutes to do with the Dremel. After a bit of work, this guitar now looks, plays and sounds like a professional instrument. It's rapidly becoming my favorite guitar to jam with. I love it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful guitar, the finish is perfect, Plays well right out of the box.
*by D***. on January 9, 2025*

I can't believe this Epiphone SG was only $179.00. Details are perfect, neck and frets are perfect, and it sounds great. This is hard to believe. If it stays in tune, it's ready to go on stage. I have no reason to think it won't, the tuners are smooth and tight. Great value, no better than great! As good as guitars selling for hundreds more. I thought this was a beginner guitar for my grand daughter, and in a year or two she'd need something better. I want one for myself too.
