Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I started playing guitar about 8 years ago as a hobby. Back then, I bought an acoustic guitar for it's simplicity and warmth and learned the basics. Being self-taught, I am no rock star, I just enjoy the instrument. My ability hit a plateau and I started to get bored/discouraged with the guitar. I decided to buy an electric because I though the ease of expression and playability might encourage me. I have always loved reggae music and was after a specific sound. Also, I didn't want to spend a ton of $ since I am not in a band or anything, like I said, it's just a hobby.
I have always liked the SG style but didn't know much about them. I played a G-400 at a store and was impressed with the tone and feel. I compared it to the $600 Epiphone model and found the stats almost identical. I then compared it to a $1200 gibson SG and honestly, the difference was negligible. I am no expert but I almost preferred the feel of the $300 Epiphone. Also, I really like the worn red finish, it looks great and feels really nice. I also played a fender stratocaster but the G-400 was the one that 'spoke' to me. So, I hesitantly laid down the dough and brought it home. I have had it for a month now and I am so impressed. The fit and finish, the playability, the tone, the versatility, and the feel of this guitar have all exceeded every expectation. I am playing now more than ever and having a great time experimenting with the different settings and sounds, playing along with my favorite reggae music and nailing down some concepts that eluded me on the acoustic for some reason.
In summation: electric guitars are expensive, in general, and while $300 is a lot of money, this is a great guitar for the price. It is easy to play, versatile, elegant and a lot of fun. I am looking forward to years of enjoyment from this instrument.

Now you can have an SG that looks vintage but without the vintage price. This G-400 features a 'Faded' satin finish and 'aged' fretboard and headstock inlays. The well-worn look even carries to the neck finish, for that comfortable broken-in feel to complete the cool antique vibe.
Vintage looks without the vintage price.
Angled Headstock Unlike cheaper designs, all Epiphones feature a 14-degree headstock that gives you more pressure at the nut and so you get more sustain with less tuning hang-ups caused by "string-tree" gadgets.
Double-Waxed Pickups Epiphone utilizes a double vacuum waxing process that ensures optimum performance. The pickup is first placed in the specialized wax vacuuming system before the cover is put in place to ensure that the wax fully penetrates to the very center of the pickup and solidifies all parts. After the cover is placed on, it is again given a second vacuum wax bath until the unit is completely saturated with wax.
Output Jack To increase reliability and ensure consistent performance, Epiphone's proprietary output jacks feature an improved contact shape and heavy-duty spring steel.
Toggle Switches All Epiphones feature our all-metal, USA designed switches for reliable contact and longer life.
Tunomatic Bridge Fully adjustable, the tunomatic remains a classic after over 50 years. Unlike guitars fitted with tremolos, there are no tuning or re-stringing difficulties. Plus, tone and sustain are improved because all string vibrations are transferred directly to the guitar.
Potentiometers Epiphone is passionate about performance. That's why their instruments use one-inch diameter potentiometers for better "throw," longer life and reliable service.
Quick-Connectors For unequalled reliability as well as ease of service, Epiphone wiring harnesses feature quick-connectors.
