Beautiful guitar, great sound, Epiphone quality, I have several Newer Epiphones, and their quality has really improved in recent years, not saying it was bad, but They're getting closer to their big brother. The only minor issue, the ad clearly states Grover Roto-Matic tuners, it comes with Kluson style tuners. I use Grover style locking tuners, but I don't want to drill the headstock, I got Kluson style lockers, I just don't like them as much. I like this guitar more than the Gibson SG, (personal preference) I like a slim neck, the Gibson has a heavier neck like my Gibson Les Paul. By the way, do yourself a favor and spend $130.00 and buy the Epiphone SG case, it's the same Amazon seller so they'll come from the store. I usually buy an $80.00 universal case for most guitars, but this Guitar's worth the extra fifty bucks.

The Epiphone SG may not be Angus Young's expensive Gibson cousin, but Gibson is most certainly the (good) ghost in the machine. In other words, if the 2k + price tag for a Gibson SG is too much on the pocketbook, it's twin cousin - the Epiphone SG - will not disappoint. I bought this for my 16 year old son, who (like me) learned his first chords on an entry-level, twangy, clunky, hide-from-your-friends, basement model. Hey, that's life. But, when I heard his playing improve, the Epiphone SG was the perfect guitar. for him to push things to the next level. To begin with, It looks cool (especially in white... wow!). Additionally, it has great neck action, good pick-ups, and admirable tone for the price. This guitar, in my opinion, is a gateway guitar -and a first cousin to- the premium guitar brands. Highly recommend!

It came nicely set up right out of the box and plays real good and sounds great..

Great

Guitar sound great and looks amazing. Super high quality. No need to spend your extra money on a Gibson when this is just as good.

Wow, fast delivery, yes. But more than that, the SG is a versatile guitar, for Punk, Metal, Classic, or Experimental, this is the ONE. The alpine white caught my attention as that was the one I saw Ian Hunter playing on a Mott The Hoople documentary. Clash documentaries show Mick Jones with the SG, and yes, Angus and Pete, the list goes on. The guitar is comfortable for the novice and memorable for the veteran. The SG and the Les Paul I will take to my grave. (Cue Black Sabbath and Deep Purple riffs)

Went to change out to my favorite strings straight out of the box. Nut fell right out winding up the first string haha. Hopefully it gets better after proper set up. Pretty sketchy so far.
