- I got an Epiphone SG from Guitar Center online. Here I unbox it, play it, and give my initial thoughts.
Let me know what you think!
edit: I was able to lower the bridge (and action) a bit and that made it clear that the frets aren't all that level. I also had to adjust the truss rod to straighten the neck. It seemed like it was all the way loose. The guitar did not come with an allen wrench for the truss rod. Good thing I had one.
I have one, just ordered new tuners. It's fun to play. The pickups are very hot to me. I keep trying to mellow them just a little.
I'm thinking about new tuners. After filing and lubricating the nut slots, the tuning hasn't been a problem, even with the knockoff Bigsby I installed. The pickups are just two conductors, so I may switch them out to something I can split or series/parallel.
I have the same guitar paid $150 new,tuners are junk, replaced those the rest seems good
I haven't had a problem with the tuners - yet. I found the G string kept going out of tune (Gibson-style problem) and did some work on the nut, which seems to have helped. I've only had it a few days though, and I've started shopping for locking tuners to help with the Bigsby I installed.
I have an old Epiphone SG in black. I like it a lot. I mainly use it for alternate tunings, because I don't want to fiddle with the Floyd rose on my Ibanez. How are you liking your SG? I did replace the pickups on mine with a set from guitar fetish, but the originals were fine
I do like it. I added a bigsby-style tremolo and rewired the pickups so that I can do partial coil splits with push-pull pots. I did like the sound of them as they were, but this just gives me more options.
An SG on sale is still pricey. Not the Epiphone as much as a Gibson. Gibson SGs new cost 1000s
This was only $150 USD. I guess "regular price" is $200. I only had to put a little bit of work into it, which I enjoy doing anyway.
