A solid fave
I've just started the electric, having played classical for a couple of months. i went for agood brand, not top oof the range like a gibson, but up in the high guitar range. and it was the epiphone G400 cherry. it look beautiful, the finish is very good, although sometimes it gets fingerpreints on it, but these can only be seen if the guitar is in direct sunlight and they can be wiped of hanyway, and the inlays at the fret are pretty much perfect. it's also hardwearing and has two pickups and a good tone. maybe its just my strings which buzzed a bit ( the 6th string, e string, etc. blah), but after adjusting the bridge, it's gotten better plus I probably need new ones. its a good guitar for beginners and intermediates, and it certainly is a respected company plus it looks good. i'm learning guitar on it and will have it for a long time. so if you're looking for something nice - a proper guitar with quality and good looks as well as a good brand - I'd go with this one. it great, there are possibly a copule minor flaws, its not a fender strat or a gibson les paul, but its a solid guitar that sounds great, plays like it should, and looks damned sexy. although one problem is that it is slighlty top heavy so when in a strap the guitar will want to nosedive down, so you'll have to support it which is a bit annoying, but thats nothing compared to the music this baby makes. the strnings it comes with aren't that great though, don't last too long, and are slighlty thicker gauge, and maybe they buzz on evry guitar so i'm gonna get super slinkys on my guitar. i hear they are good for bending.

Awesome Epiphone SG!!!
I purchased this guitar from Musician's Friend on Amazon. Due to some trouble, I had to wait for it for a couple of months. It finally is in my hands and I must say I'm impressed and absolutely satisfied. There's plenty of good reviews of this guitar on the web, so I refer you to those for the features; instead, I want to focus on the quality of the product itself. There is some concern among guitarists about buying instruments online, with random reports about people receiving badly constructed specimens of supposedly quality guitars. It hasn't been my case. This guitar has been known, since it was first released, for being a big improvement in quality for Epiphone, and for being the closest reproduction of a 1961 Gibson SG, for less than a third of the price. The one I received from MF and Amazon completely lives up to such fame: completely solid, flawless construction; gorgeous looks and quality appointments; and above all, near professional performance. Like any guitar that comes new out of the box, it required some action and intonation setup, but that was all: no flaws at all in the general construction or in the finish.

A few comments on the features.
The playability is amazing. The neck has the same satin finish as the body; it's wide and flat but not annoyingly fat or thick; and it joins the body at the 20th fret, giving free access to the last frets. All this makes for a lightning fast playing guitar.
The sound is just great. The pickups are hot, they can really give you that Gibson humbucker crunch, and with high distortion it's just brutal, perfect for everything from riffs to soloing to the mighty pinch harmonic! Of course, there are things that no SG can do, but if you wanted to do those things you would be looking at Strat reviews... but it IS a versatile guitar, it can suit many playing styles, and, unlike other guitars popular in the hard rock/heavy metal world, it can handle clean playing very well.

I encourage anyone who is thinking of buying an SG guitar but cannot afford a Gibson to try this one. Other brands might offer the same quality but just lack the "original" vibe that only Epiphone, being a Gibson subsidiary, can offer... and no, I don't work for Epiphone.

EDIT: the first painful quality issue has surfaced. The wood around the input jack is thin. Due to this, any untoward pressure exerted on the area can potentially crack the wood. I turned around with the guitar plugged in, but the cord was stuck under the amp, and so the plug forced the input jack into the wood and it cracked badly. I had heard that before but I never thought it would happen. So be warned... either you take special care in avoiding this kind of situation, or you don't buy this guitar. ... Read more

Kramer does it again with the Focus FR-211S. It is the world's best and most affordable Floyd-Rose double-locking tremolo equipped guitar. Now, you can whammy all night long with blistering leads featuring dive-bomb sonic attacks and tremolo acrobatics. And do not worry. With the double-locking system, the strings come right back to pitch even under the most brutal assaults. Combine this with a high output, noiseless humbucker in the bridge position and you've got a powerful rock axe. ... Read more
