Review: A gem in the rough for AC/DC fans - 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.
Review: Amazing value for money for a very playable, decent quality instrument - 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ok i freaking love this deff keeping as my back up guitar!
*by J***J on 12 November 2016*

WoW! for a sub 200 dollar guitar this packs some serious awsome sauce! Is it anything like my jackson custom shop USA no but that does not mean it is a bad guitar i think the guitar is under priced to be honest this plays more like a mid teir guitar and sounds like one as well. But what suprised me the most about this guitar was how fathful it is sound wise to the real deal. However you can tell by look it is is not a gibson SG the Epiphone SG rocks a high gloss cherry clear coat finish witch IMHO looks so much cooler than the dulled aged cherry finish look on a real Gibson SG. As far as weight of the instrament goes it is a weee bit less heavy than my jackson and since Gibson SGs are solid built im going to go ahead and say it weighs less than a real gibson as well i could be wrong on that though. You can always tell a good guitar by how well it sounds when played when its not pluged into an amp. this sounded almost to nice to be true for the asking price. The pick ups seem okey The hardwear seems to be good i hear people say the tuners on this are bad quality and the guitar wont keep its tuneing. I havent experianced that yet and i broke this thing out of the box set it up tuned it once and shreded the shit out of it and it kept its tuneing. So i will up date this after 1 week and tell you if thats legit in my case. Quality control seems good on this guitar no scratchs chips or nicks on it no loose fittings no bowed necks frets are even neck action was no fret buzz it was good to go out of the box once i tuned it. Can you gig with this guitar is it road worthy yea i think it would hold up if cared for properly. Just remember when and if you get a guitar it is at the end of the day only your partner in crime a super nice guitar wont make you sound like the next big thing it will help but in the end most of your player unigue tone/sound comes from you and your hands. Someone who is experianced can make anything sound good someone still learning the ropes may not be able to do that just remember it is 40% equiptment 60% you the player for the price this guitar is a great pick up for a back up guitar or for a newbie who wants to start down the awsome road to becomeing a musician. [UPDATE ON THINGS] after 2 weeks of ownership and weather tempture changeing from 50 degrees to about below 30 it seems to still be in tune even though i only tuned it twice. all withen the first 2 days of ownership so my verdict on the tuneing issue is at least for me my tuners are good to go i see no need to replace them who knows maybe i got lucky like a golden ducky hehe!
