And Raw Power SG's are solid guitars? Mine plays incredibly.

Guitar's arent supposed to come tuned. Especially with brand new strings.

It got a re-string in the store, I watched the tech fail at tuning it.

And I played a Raw Power SG, there was a knot in the neck and it had the worst neck sound I've ever heard on a guitar, let alone a Gibson.

Its my review, my interpretation, and my opinion on the guitar, as well as others that I have played and decided to compare them to. Its a review, by definition it has bias.

I've had this guitar for about a year or so now, and it will NOT stay in tune. The tuners don't even work, it's all done on the Tune-O-Matic bridge that can't even go to standard tuning. The B string can't go higher than a low B-flat pitch, same with BOTH E strings. It sounds good if I tune to drop-D and play only the bottom 4 strings, but otherwise it sounds completely out of tune.
What in god's name are you going on about?

It's probably not the guitar.No offense but it sounds like you dont really know to setup that guitar.Depending on gauge and tuning the springs that float the floyd rose bridge need to be either loosened or tightened to make the bridge stable and keep it in tune.
It sounds like have it set up for one gauge/tuning and are trying to play it in a different one.That simply will not work.
The golden rule of the floating bridge is:
The pull of the strings = the pull of the springs.
The alternative is
The pull of the strings < / > of the springs = out of tune.

I seriously think you're thinking of another guitar though, DC13, simply because this is a floyd-equipped guitar. Why would you detune any of the strings, you'd need to then re-tune the entire guitar because the overall tension has changed? That and you stating that its done on the Tune-O-Matic (Which is a fixed bridge) get me wondering that you've simply taken a look, posted an inflammatory comment, given it a bad rating... All without actually checking to see if this is the guitar you're looking for.

This also happened with my Epi LP STD. Is it a common problem with Epis?

I don't think so, I've been playing Epiphones almost exclusively for years and I've never run into this problem.

Haven't read all the posts yet, but if it hasn't been said, change the pots and caps first, you'll be surprised at how the pups kick in! Try tubesandmore.com, great prices on CTS pots ($3.25) and Orange drop caps (60 cents up to $2.00 depending on maker). And no, I don't work there. ;

This right here, dont change the pickups out first, these are recreations of Gibson's 57 Classics which are a sought after pickup but generally dismissed due to the $130 a piece price tag. They are a standard PAF style pickup so most people usually opt for Seymour Duncans or Dimarzio's cause they are $40 a piece cheaper.
