Epiphone Faded G400 SG Electric Guitar

The Epiphone Faded G400 is classic guitar you're not afraid to play every day! The SG-shaped Vintage G-400 has the well-worn look and feel of a favorite guitar. It's Worn finish showcases the wood grain (similar to Gibson's popular Faded series). The Epiphone Faded Series' well-traveled look has another advantage when it comes to maintenance: The satin finish and aged inlays on the fingerboard require less cosmetic care than guitars with a glossy finish and new-looking inlays. The G-400 has a one-piece neck with super satin finish, humbucker pickups, chrome hardware and tune-o-matic bridge.

Subject:GREAT Guitar!!!!
Quality: it's a sight to be seen. very dependable in any style situation!
Sound: the sound is one of a kind! "fit for a king's ears." the clean tone is wicked and throw in a little distortion and the thing sounds shreddin!
Reliability: again, a very well built instrument. nothing more to say than a strong guitar that'll last.
Overall: overall a great piece of work. comfortable to play, and great sound no matter what style you play. very well built guitar. the neck is fast and smooth to play. basically, an awesome guitar for anyone!
Playability and Feel: feels like an extrordinary guitar. the fast neck suprised me when i got it. feels VERY fast! the controls can be a liitle pain but once you get the hang of them, you'll be alright.
Tone: ANY KIND OF STYLE, you can play. the pickups are amazing! right out of the box!
Finish: wonderful and just down right beautiful! i stared to cry a little when i opned the box.

Subject:Great Guitar For the Money.. You Won't Be Dissapointed.
Quality: Made Very Well. A Joy to Play I will have it for a Long Time.
Reliability: It's New so I don't know. If it's like my other Epiphone guitar's then it will hold up fine.
Overall: When I got it I was amazed at how well it felt. After playing it I loved the sound. Remember, SG's are Head Heavy and you will have to hold on to it. I had to flip the Bridge and all of the String Guides so that I could get the action Down Properly. Trus rod adjustment would not do it. After that. It Rocks....
Playability and Feel: If you like Heavy Metal, Southern Rock, blues and Country then you are in Business with this Axe. I have Played Everything on it. It is Great for Lead, but I use it mostly for Rythum Playing.
Tone: If you play through a Marshall 100W head like I do then you can get any tone you want.
Finish: Satin finish took a lot for me to get used to, but I like it.
Action: Way Too High. Had to Flip Bridge and String Posts to Bring it down where it Needed to be. Din't want to send it back because it was so close.
Skill Level: Semi-Pro

Subject:A Budget Masterpiece!
Quality: Don't even think that you can rate this on the price. I figured, what the heck after reading some reviews on this SG. WoW! I just cant figure out how Epi can make this guitar so in-expensive. Its simply the very best guitar you can buy at $300.
Reliability: we'll see.
Overall: Outstanding!
Playability and Feel: Its light, great set neck and systane. Great for a beginner or pro.
Tone: This is what the biggest surprise was for me. I wasnt expecting very good sounding pick-ups at this price. Close your eyes and play a Gibson SG and then play this. SOOO hard to pick out.. Im impressed!
Finish: Looks like a vintage SG. Finish is wonderful.
Action: Needed a little setting up.. So do $2000 guitars.
