Classic mid-60's SG tone at a screamingly 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 Pro 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 and allows for a miriad of tones. The LockTone tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece provide more sustain and make string changing easier. The deep double-cutaway body lets you reach all 22 frets with ease.
Features
- Mahogany body
- 24.75" Scale set-in mahogany neck
- Rosewood fretboard
- 22 Medium jumbo frets
- Alnico Classic Pro neck humbucker with coil-split
- Alnico Classic Pro Plus bridge humbucker with coil-split
- LockTone™ tune-o-matic bridge
- LockTone™ stopbar tailpiece
- Grover tuners

Comments about Epiphone Limited Edition 1966 G-400 PRO Electric Guitar:
I only recently received my G-400 Pro and haven't yet gigged with it. Preliminary impression is very favorable. Well set up right out of the box. I did immediately put on a set of extra-thin chromes and was amazed how effortlessly playable the neck was. Pick-ups aren't heavy metal hot by any means but for pop, jazz or Latin, this is one heck of a charmer.

Comments about Epiphone Limited Edition 1966 G-400 PRO Electric Guitar:
I'm no Duane Allman or Carlos Santana but I find this guitar extremely versatile in tones with the tap coil, well constructed, a joy to play and a great value. Hats off to Musician's Friend as it was well packaged and needed very little set up. If you're looking for an SG, seriously consider this model.

Comments about Epiphone Limited Edition 1966 G-400 PRO Electric Guitar:
I always wanted my own SG and finally got one of these Limited '66 versions with the full pickguard and no pickup rings! All the others have pickups bucking up out of the ring, either upper or lower edge of the pickup sticks up, due to the center mount. Not these! The finish and look of this Epiphone is better than any of the Gibson's with silkscreen Gibson labels--they just look flat and cheap, while the Epiphone looks much more expensive. The only difference from the specs in the description, is the tuners on mine are Wilkinson vintage. Which are equal quality to the Grovers for me. Stays in tune well! I switched to Earnie Ball Super Slinkys-9's, after a week and much easier to play! I like the pickups OK, but will be changing the bridge for a Tonerider Alnico IV PAF. The rosewood fretboard is awesome and it's light weight on the strap or in my lap is such a difference from the heavy Les Paul or even my Strat. Great practice guitar that looks good enough to play anywhere.

Comments about Epiphone Limited Edition 1966 G-400 PRO Electric Guitar:
I got the Pelham Blue, and actually a factory 2nd (slight finish nick on upper horn, barely noticable). Saved a nice chunk of change. Besides that nick, the finish quality is excellent, and it is a very sharp looking guitar. The playabilty and electronics were completely unaffected, and quite good out of the box. These were the most important factors to me, as this is meant to be a hard working, gigging axe. The setup was very good, but some small finishing touches to the nut and intonation turned a good playing guitar into an amazingly sweet player. I used to dislike Epi pickups, but recently they have improved greatly. The alnico classic pro's in this guitar show none of the weakness and muddiness I've heard from less recent examples. They have good response and power, with a very even tone. The coil splitting is extremely useful, taking into account the slight volume loss, and gives a decent single coil sound. Not as sharp as a good Strat pup, but still very useful for live show purposes. The guitar is slightly neck heavy, but nothing a good leather strap can't deal with. Overall, with just the tiniest tweaks, this budget guitar has become my main back-up axe on stage, and my go-to for certain recording uses. DO NOT be put off by the name or price, with a little know-how this guitar can be the equal of its WAY more spendy Gibson brethren! Also this model is no longer in production, so strike while the iron is hot. I've had excellent luck with Epi's that carry the 'Limited Edition Custom Shop' stamp like this one, and very highly recommend them. Bear in mind that I also own two high end PRS guitars (a Modern Eagle Quattro and a 513), so I'm not easily impressed!

I got This 4 years ago, Besides my first guitar being a Dean Vendetta, I got this because of Angus Young.... Being a die hard ACDC fan when I was younger... watching him on stage was better then six flags in my opinion : ) Overall it is a Solid guitar...

Comments about Epiphone Limited Edition 1966 G-400 PRO Electric Guitar:
i got the pelham blue guitar a couple months ago. it was set up pretty good out of the box. the action may be a little higher than some people prefer, but its not bad. plus, i like to play some slide, so not a problem for me. i wouldnt call mine a slim taper neck, it is actually pretty chunky. it is only a tiny bit smaller than my classical guitar, but its very comfortable and easy to get around. the pickups could be better i suppose, but pretty good for the price. the only issue i have is i wish the pickups split to the outside coils instead of the inside. but over all a great guitar for the money. plays good, sounds good, and looks killer. my current favorite

Comments about Epiphone Limited Edition 1966 G-400 PRO Electric Guitar:
When this Epiphone "Limited Edition" (1966) G-400 Pro guitar arrived it blew my mind right out of the box! The intonation and setup is near perfect ! Sounds great! The slim taper neck is a dream to play. Every bit as good as the original 1966 Gibson SG I used to own. The green tulip Wilkinson tuners are really NICE and neck inlays and overall craftsmanship is EXCELLENT ! This guitar has the "dual volume knob" coil taps which I really like. You pull the volume knob UP to get a single coil sound and push it DOWN to get the humbucker sound. This is a very good feature to get a variety of sounds with the Classic Alnico pickups. I have been playing this for a couple days now and it holds tuning very well. I've been playing this through a new Fender Mustang 1 amp and I can tell already that this guitar will be one of my main guitars for recording. This is one of the finest Epiphones I have ever owned and I'm so glad I bought it from Musicians Friend at a reduced price of [$].
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
