new to me, EPI SG-400 Custom...

[JerseyRay]

I was not shopping for a guitar, just kill'n some time but found this used - Epiphany SG-400 custom with epiphone case... $ 250.00....BANG...done deal....I always liked SG's, my 1st electric when I was 14 was a Epiphany SG special... now I'm 55 and needed another SG, I liked the white finish... plus with a case I couldn't pass on it....

It looks like this is an 08 based on the SN. Had it plugged into my little 15 watt Vox, didn't sound bad at all. Overall I think she's a keeper....

Nice Epi G-400. However, it's not a "Custom." It's a white "Standard" G-400.

Now, if you mean it was a "custom color," at the time of manufacture, that may

be true?

 

The Epi G-400 Custom ("Antique Ivory"=off white) had 3 pickups, bound neck and headstock,

with "split diamond" inlay, and gold hardware. There was a version that was Pelham Blue,

with long Maestro vibrola, and only 2 Humbucker pickups.

Both now, out of production.

 

 

Congratulations, on your new (to you) G-400.

Yea, I know...epi puts "custom" on everything.... it's says custom shop on the back, which is a little meaningless if everything is "custom".... but, still a decent guitar, stays in tune, all frets are good.... thinking about having a bigsby put on, perhaps next year....
