SG-Special Electric Guitar (with KillPot) (Cherry Red, Lam Alder/Maple Body, 24.75 Scale Maple Neck) (Exclusive to Amazon)

What a fabulous guitar for the money! WOW! I was so surprised. I've been trying to get an SG (Gibson) for ages, but they're hard to get in the UAE (at least for a reasonable price). I bought this budget guitar to expressly upgrade the electronics to top tier, so take a Epiphone and turn it into a Gibson+ version with minimal effort. What impressed me so much about this guitar is it's setup. The neck is great, very similar to my Les Paul, but well aligned. Playability/action is wonderful! Strings are super well aligned with the frets all the way down to 22, with no fret buzz playing open. My review isn't fair (dropping a star because of the electrics), because I played once with the provided pickups, before replacing them with Seymour Duncan JB and Jazz set of humbuckers, and wow am I happy. Other than replacing the pickups, nothing done and this guitar is amazing! It shreds, produces incredibly warm tones and is super versatile. With 10 strings (instead of normal 9's) this guitar is great value.

Avevo ordinato questa chitarra per avere un "giocattolo" in più, oltre alle più importanti Fender e Gibson, e non mi aspettavo niente di particolare. Subito un piccolo settaggio dell'action e dei pick-ups: suona benissimo!!!! Il suono pulito è pieno, presente e con molto sustain: bellissimo. Il distorto è davvero notevole (con distorsione dell'amplificatore Fender) e nulla ha da invidiare a chitarre più costose... Manico scorrevole e dettagli ben curati. Insomma un'ottima chitarra ad un prezzo bassissimo!

Very good guitar...versatile...a must buy

Achetée pour apprendre la guitare et la coupler avec le jeu rocksmith 2014, cette guitare est juste superbe. Très bien finie, ultra simple et équilibrée, elle délivre un son qui me convient tout à fait. il y a deux micros et un interrupteur à trois positions. bref une guitare électrique idéale pour un débutant qui ne veut pas racheter rapidement une autre guitare

I was very impressed with the quality, finish and playability of this guitar. I've been playing for 30 years and own about a dozen electric guitars of various makes across a wide range of prices. I wanted to get an SG to play some classic rock and have fun with. I didn't expect much for the price, but I tried this guitar and the G400 Pro and honestly preferred the feel of this one. The guitar came boxed with an inner box to protect it during shipping. Although playability out of the box was fairly good, I had to perform a setup to get the guitar exactly as I wanted. I removed the strings, rubbed down and oiled the fingerboard, then strung it with D'Addario 10-46 nickel wounds. The truss rod required a quarter turn adjustment to get the neck profile straight. The intonation and action were pretty much perfect out of the box. I just raised the action a tiny bit to make it more in line with my other instruments. The pickups are a bit darker than a traditional SG and while they sound great heavily overdriven, the clean sound is a bit lacking in character. After a week or so of playing, I replaced the pickups with a set I bought from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009A5JA98/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 These pickups are amazing value for money and sound fabulous. However the pickup frame was larger than the original stock pickups so I had to rout the body slightly to get the new pickups to fit. This was a simple operation which only took me 10 minutes to do with the Dremel. After a bit of work, this guitar now looks, plays and sounds like a professional instrument. It's rapidly becoming my favorite guitar to jam with. I love it!

Bought as “Used Like New". Arrived quickly. Item is in brand new condition including all accessories, manuals etc which were in new from factory condition. In other words, the item was brand new. I can only echo most of the other comments on here and say it is fantastic value for money. The finish is stunning, and it plays great straight out of the box after a little tweak, I have lowered the action by adjusting the bridge screws. Intonation is spot on, no adjustment necessary. Doesn't have quite the same sustain as more expensive Epiphone SG and Gibson models, probably because of the bolt on neck but that's about all the notable difference there is. The 'killpot' feature is great fun although musically probably pretty useless. For the price I got it for (£106.00), should it have been no good as a serious musical instrument, it still would have been worth buying to put up on the wall.
