Pros: Amazing Price. SG look. Sounds meaty.
Cons: Cheap Tuners. Pickups slightly noisy. Factory setup horrible.
Summary: ***UPDATE 01-07-2004:*** I bought 2 of these and as I was adjusting one of them, I realized that the guitar is stringed wrongly on the high E and B strings. It seems the factory mistakenly put the 9 on the B and the the B on the E. This caused some ... read more

Pros: Price, originality, light weight, beatability!
Cons: Cheap particle board, ugly, hard to rewire.
Summary: Well to be honest this thing was garbage out of the box. Totally junk in the electronics field, cheap strings, pots, and incredibly evil microphonic pickups. So of course being the expert soildering person I am. I set out to make a wonderful axe out of it ... read more

Pros: Good guitar for the price
Cons: pickup switch is unreliable

Pros: Plays really good, very easy to bend a string.
Cons: Goes out of tune a lot.
Summary: The epiphone SG is definetly not one you should preform for more than an hour (Consistent playing). Thats how long it takes for the gutiar to go out of tune. If you are willing to re-tune it all the time, its a good buy. For 180 bucks, it has really ... read more

Pros: Very sleek design and great sound.
Cons: none
Summary: This is a great guitar. I play it through a Marshall Valvestate 100V, and it sounds better than anything else I have ever heard. I play heavy metal/alternative style music, so I use heavy distortion and it sounds great. It is very easy to play. The neck ... read more

Pros: Clean sound, nice color, good structure.
Cons: None
Summary: I love the SG, and I wanted an Epiphone this time. I decided on the Special, tested it, and it really sounded clean and bright like a Rickenbacker 360 model. It does great on distortion, and I don't even need a DiMarzio pickup for this to "get some

Pros: It is cheap and came with the Allen wrench you need for the truss rod!
Cons: It is hard to tune, will not stay there, and action is SLOW!
Summary: I bought this guitar unseen (email order) as a starter for my son. I played a Gibson SG 20 years ago. This is not the same thing! It has stickers on it set-up in China, checked by QC in USA. The intonation was off. The tuners slip. The 4th string

Pros: shape, sound, quality, finish
Cons: there is nothing
Summary: When I first got my epiphone SG i thought that for such a low price like $200 it would be crap and anoying to deal with. I am the owner of three Gibson SG guitars and none of them even come close to sounding as rich, clear or as crisp as the epiphone
