I agree that it's a pretty good SG for its price, but comparing it to Gibson's SGs really aren't going to make you very popular around here.

+1 I got reported for trolling for saying that a LP Standard played like an Epiphone in the forums.

I have a Epiphone Les Paul and the neck does bend a bit, but I need to pull it or push it a lot, which I don't, but still.

It was the only time I played an electric guitar by Epiphone that doesn't sound like shit...
Very comfortable...

And yes, if you'll check my profile you'll figure out why do I show off over this guitar.

The guy from a nearby store showed me a G-400 guitar being the neck like crazy. The notes would be terribly affected by how hard we pulled it. Was that a problem with that specific specimen or are they all like that?

Slash broke a Les Paul neck doing that.

Exactly. I just bought an Epi Korina Explorer as a project guitar. I'm going to replace the pickups, tuners, electronics and nut on it and, after it's set up, the total cost will still be $400-500 less than the cheapest Gibby Explorer.

Great if your starting out, but don't gig with it, something will definitely go wrong. (Cable Jack breaks aswell)

You can actually notice copy guitars made in China, Indonesia, Vietnam etc. getting higher ratings than original Fenders or Gibsons.

+1. SG's are probably some of the lightest guitars you can get. I love them, I used to be a Les Paul guy but something about the SG shape and how thin they are just gets to me.

And it never occurred to you that the ratings on UG might be relative to the price of the guitar in question? No? Oh dear...

I have now had this guitar for four months and feel i have started unlocking its true potential.

1) Since buying this i have dropped it thanks to a poorly made strap. I feared the worst until i picked it up. Instead of finding a snapped bpdy i discovered that only the tone knob had become crooked and the jack needed realinging by milliseconds.

Impressive to me.

2) also i have just begun to realise how fat sounding AND fast it is when playing. Its body has made it really easy for me to learn sweep and alternate picking.

The fat sound creates the true classic rock sound i crave in my playing and i am completely blown away.

Since owning this i have moved away from playing Slipknot/Pantera etc. Ive embraced my love of Blues,Country and classic Rock.

I give this guitar a 10. I dont know how you update reviews so this is the best i could do. Thanks
