I've got an Epiphone SG & a Gibson SG both about 2013 built. Aside from the lack of neck binding on the Epiphone, Which the Gibson has, I cannot tell the difference in sound between the 2. Great Guitar for the price.

Overall great beginner guitar. The neck has a good feel and plays quick and smooth. With a little set up you can get nice low action. Pickups sound good for a guitar in this price range. My only critique would be the fret ends could use some rounding, they are a little sharp. Other than that I have enjoyed playing this guitar and my wife even thinks it's cool and got her playing also which is cool.

Recently purchased a used version of the Epiphone SG 400 Pro guitar. The guitar was most likely a restock as it was pristine, no pick swirls, scratches or dings, even had the pickguard and plates still under plastic!! The setup was horrible, but between a local tech and myself later fine tuning the setup, it is sooooo very much better!! The sound is very good, the split coil sounds can easily be enhanced to sound very "strat" like and sound good with a processor set for acoustic guitar!! Still working a little on the setup/action, but the neck is very fast, and sure, allowing by it's width a little room for not so exact finger positioning that can occur when moving very fast on leads. Harmonics are perfect and it stays in tune very well!! I do feel this is a Great Guitar for the price, and if You are a player who has a certain sound or use only certain pickups, this guitar won't break the bank, allowing for a change to Your personal favorites. The SG's I tried during the buying process played better than the big name SG's I tried, so I didn't feel bad about my choice!! A Lot of Fun to play, and a wide variety of sounds!!!Read full review

For some odd reason over the 45 years I've played pro, I've never been inclined to look at an SG. I'm basically a Fender guy, loving the single-coil, bell like sound. But a friend of mine got ahold of a used, pristine condition Epi SG Pro in the (fairly rare) alpine white finish. The minute I picked it up, the neck yelled at me, "play me!" So I did. I couldn't get past the clean bite the Alnico Classic PUPs had...from mellow, round jazz to dirty treble when cranked...it was all good. So I traded him a nice S&W revolver for it. Of course, I couldn't leave it stock, so I added a Bigsby trem, roller bridge, and roller nut to keep the thing in tune when I used the trem. Added some 11's for new strings (I like a little pick resistance on the strings) and intonated it. Sheesh. I've haven't put the thing down since and it's my go-to axe for just about everything now, even though I have Fenders, Carvins, etc. hanging on the wall. This might be Chinese made, but when stacked against a Gibson model of the same SG, I can not see nor hear any difference whatsoever. So, forget the Epiphone label, and just LISTEN to this axe, and FEEL the nice girth and width of the neck. It is definitely worth considering as a performance axe, and it's one-fourth the cost of a comparable Gibson with no downside that I can see.Read full review

Plays great, sounds even better. Bridge is hotter than I expected which is a good thing. Action is low, no buzz. Finish is incredible, pictures do this guitar no justice. So much better in person.
