Epiphone

Vital mid-'60s SG specs for a screaming low price.

The Epiphone Limited Edition 1966 G-400 Electric Guitar is a Gibson-authorized version of their great '66 SG with a solid mahogany body and slim-taper set mahogany neck. Some subtle-yet-significant differences make this one special. Instead of the small, lower horn-only pickguard, it has the larger pickguard so there aren't any pickup mounting rings around the high-output Alnico Classic humbuckers (the '66 SG had P-90 pickups). Separate volume and tone controls for each of the pickups give you complete control of your sound. The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece provide more sustain and make string changing easier. The deep double-cutaway lets you reach all 22 frets with ease.

Check the drop-down menu to the right to select colors and/or other options.

Features

  • Double-cutaway solid mahogany body
  • Slim-tapered set mahogany neck
  • Rosewood fretboard
  • 22 frets
  • Alnico Classic Plus bridge humbucker
  • Alnico Classic neck humbucker
  • 2 volume, 2 tone controls
  • 3-way pickup selector
  • Grover tuners
  • LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece for more sustain and easier string changing
  • 24-3/4" scale
  • 1.68" nut width
  • Chrome hardware

Ive wanted an sg for years.  I saw this guitar on special and just went for it.  It plays amazing, sounds incredible, and i love the silver finish.  It genuinly feels like a much more expensive instrument.

Very nice for the price

Features:

Pickups are the only thing I'm not a huge fan of. Will definately be switched out with '57s.

Quality:

Nice solid axe, it is head-heavy but that's a good thing. 

Value:

Hard to beat for the price. 

Overall:

This was my 1st SG so I'm still getting used to it. The setup from the factory was terrible but that's to be expected. Only issue I had was a minor nick on the fretboard at the 16th fret, doesn't affect playability so I didn't send it back. This axe will sound fantastic after a proper setup and rubbing some lemon oil on the fretboard.

SG 1966 G-400

| Review By: Cody Kirton | 1 month, 1 week ago

0 people out of 3 found this review helpful

Features:

     This has been like my dream guitar ever since 8th grade and im a junior now, but ever since i saw angus young play it when i was younger iv just always wanted it! But just because you get an SG dont expect to sound just like AC/DC, thats not the guitar, thats the way you play it! But i really love it the stings that come on it are actually not as bad as i was expecting and the red is just beautiful! although it is a very light slim guitar so you need to be carful how you handle it, bc just today a freind of mine sat on the chord and the input jack got pushed inside the guitar and split the wood, but it does have the life-time warrenty so hopefully i can send it back to get it fixed! but other then that its so worth the money!

Quality:

10!

Value:

perfect!

Overall:

GREAT!

SilverBurst shimmers

| Review By: Ed Leland | 2 months, 2 days ago

2 people out of 2 found this review helpful

Features:
Fit and finish both good on this guitar. Like any other guitar out of the box, it needed intonation straightaway; but other than that, no issues with transit.        Great tone, although I opted to change out the plastic nut in favor of a graphite/teflon one. I also had my tech put a new strap button (w/ strap locks) on the body about 3 inches above the original to compensate for the guitar being neck heavy. The Alnico pickups are great, and the tonal palette is quite wide.        As strictly a Strat guy for 20+ years this is my first guitar different than that style; I am quite impressed and am falling in love with this axe! It may even replace my #1 (don't tell her!).        I tested out some Gibson Faded models and the Epi feels better; at a fraction of the price. Unless you have to have the Name Brand on your headstock, you cannot go wrong with the Epiphone!
