Epiphone G-400 SG Cherry 2002 Electric Guitar

Here for sale we have an Epiphone G400 Electric Guitar in Cherry finish. Made in Korea in 2002, this guitar features a set in Mahogany body, Mahogany neck and a 22 Medium Jumbo fret Rosewood fingerboard. The hardware featured on this guitar consists of a tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece as well as a set of Grover tuning machines. The pickups featured are a pair of Epiphone Alnico Classic humbuckers, these are wired to a 3-way pickup selector, independent volume and tone controls.

The Mahogany neck plays very well, with a profile which might be described as a 'D' shape filling the hand nicely without being at all cumbersome and providing a smooth and responsive playing experience in all registers. The smooth finish to the rear ensures that navigation of the 24.75" scale is a breeze, whilst the twin cutaways enhance access to the upper frets- really opening up the full register of the instrument. The familiar lines of the SG body are as comfortable as ever ensuring that long practice sessions and gigs are fatigue-free.

The pair of Epiphone Alnico Classic  passive humbucking pickups installed in this guitar deliver thick and full-bodied tones, well suited to the hard rock and metal tones that are synonymous with this guitar's design. The neck pickup is warm and round, with plenty of power to push your solos to the front of the mix. The bridge pickup is brighter, and with a higher output drives the front end of an amp with ease, perfect for those searing rock rhythm parts. The controls are nicely responsive, allowing you to dial in the perfect tone right on the instrument.
