Built for Classic SG Performance
The Epiphone G400 PRO is inspired by the late '60s era SGs and uses the same dimensions and build techniques as vintage SGs made in the Kalamazoo, Michigan, factory during that classic era. The solid, tone-rich mahogany carved body gives the G400 PRO a balanced feel on stage and in the studio.
The SlimTaper 'D' profile mahogany neck has a 24.75 inch scale with 22 frets and a 12 inch radius fingerboard for incredible reach thanks to the SG's classic cutaway. And for that one-of-a-kind SG feel, the Epiphone G400 PRO has a rosewood fingerboard with a 1.68 inch nut. The truss rod cover is the classic Kalamazoo bell shape with SG PRO in white.
Alnico Classic PRO Power
Epiphone always finds a way to make improvements on their classic designs and the G400 PRO is no exception. Now featuring Epiphone Alnico Classic PRO 4-wire humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions, the G400 PRO offers a tonal palette that far exceeds any other guitar of its kind. The Alnico Classic PROs feature Alnico V magnets for terrific humbucker sustain with a huge dynamic range that can go from clean to crunch. The G400 PRO features coil-tapping on both pickups via a push/pull control on the pickups’ volume controls.

The SG Story
When the SG, or 'Solid Guitar' was introduced in 1961 as a replacement for the Les Paul Standard, it was called the ‘fretless wonder’ for its low frets and fast action. The twin horn cutaway design was like nothing on the market and its light but balanced weight made it the perfect guitar for stage and studio work. Later '60s models introduced the SG with humbucker pickups, and since then, the SG has became the go-to guitar for artists like The Who's Pete Townshend, Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi, Paul Weller, AC/DC's Angus Young, Eric Clapton and Derek Trucks of the Allman Brothers Band.
