Amazon.com Product Description
A true icon guitar, the SG was originally a successor Les Paul model from '61 to '68. This edition of the prized 1962 SG boasts the power and merciless sustain you expect to shake you all night long. It's constructed of a Mahogany neck glued into a Mahogany body with twin Alnico Classic Humbucking pickups.
The Power and Merciless Sustain You Expect.
Alnico V humbuckers and the industry-standard Tune-O-Matic bridge. |
Rosewood fretboard with trapezoid inlays. |
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.

Epiphone Lefty G-400 SG Electric Guitar, Cherry Reviews
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful SG-400 Epiphone, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Epiphone Lefty G-400 SG Electric Guitar, Cherry (Electronics) I've wanted an SG for quite some time. I was going to get a Gibson SG, but figured I'd start with an Epiphone first to see that I liked enough about it to get the Gibson. For the price, this is a well built and designed guitar. As a guitarist of 20+ years, the first thing I do with any guitar is put MY strings on it and set it up to my liking (any review that includes a guitar's set up "right out of the box" is not relevant to a review as each player requires different set ups).My favorite guitar in my collection is my Epiphone Les Paul standard, so I was comparing every step of the way with the SG to that. Obvious differences aside, the Epiphone SG satisfies me greatly and I'll be using it in all of my music. The body is light and comfy, sharp design. Grover tuners do a good job. The pickups sound really good and, of course, if you're looking for clarity and "umph" comparable to a Gibson you'd want to drop new pickups in the Epiphone. I'm leaving mine in. If the guitar is... Read more 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful Very nice for a budget guitar!, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Epiphone Lefty G-400 SG Electric Guitar, Cherry (Electronics) Playing left handed can be pretty rough, especially since most music stores only keep a few left handed guitars on hand at a time. My local shop usually only had a handful, maybe 3 or 4 at any given time, and usually 3 of them are stratocasters and telecasters. I'm personally a fan of Gibson's body styles, and when I saw one of these at shop I just had to try it out. I've only been playing sporadically for 2 or 3 years, so I'm still not that great, but I'm horridly picky when it comes to my guitars. The one I tried out was nice, but it was a bit dinged up, so I decided to buy one new through Amazon. Mine in particular came from Musician's friend. They shipped out my Epiphone at 9pm on thursday, and I received it around 2pm on Tuesday, so more or less 3 business days for standard shipping, which is quite quick. :)Upon getting the gigantic box that my slightly less gigantic guitar box came in, I skimmed through all of the stupid little bits of paperwork before unveiling my... Read more Worth the buy, By Average Joe (US) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Epiphone Lefty G-400 SG Electric Guitar, Cherry (Electronics) I've been playing guitar for about 30 years so far.. and have owned dozens of guitars .. mostly USA made guitars in the 2 to 3 grand range ( gibsons, prs, jackson usa, Charvel USA, Dean USA etc) . I've also purchased a number of lesser priced guitars like Schecter, LTD, Agile, Dean imports etc. and epiphones from about 15 years ago.I bought this Epiphone on a whim because I was in the mood for something new and didn't want to pay a whole lot. When I received my G-400 I was ( and am ) very pleased. This is a great guitar that happens to be very reasonably priced. This Epiphone is by far the best under 1 grand guitar I've purchased since i don't know how long. Epiphone has really gotten better over the years this is a solid guitar, built great, feels and surprisingly sounds great.. I've paid much, much more and have not liked the guitar as well as this one. I do want to mention that I did have to polish the frets, oil the fretboard, adjust the truss... Read more |
