Mike K Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Hi everyone, I found a Ephipone SG in a pawn shop over the weekend while out. Been considering getting one lately so it caught my eye. This one is a bit odd, I don't know a ton about them (been learning more online based on this one however). Based on the serial number, it's a Korean build, from 2002. It has the "Goth" set neck with no fret markers and a roman numeral 12, circle and cross head stock. But it's a Cherry finish. All the Goth SGs I've seen online appear to be black. I've reached out to Gibson support and sent them some pictures. Based on what I see in the pictures, I THINK it's a SG G-400 variant but I'd like to be sure before I go back and start talking price. I didn't think to check if it has coil taps (G-400 Pro), and since it's a set neck that means it's not a Special. However, that doesn't mean that it wasn't some hybrid repair job. Anyone seen something like this? I'll post a pic once save it somewhere to view. Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihcmac Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 If your SG has a set neck it is a G-400, but having the Goth markings on it with red or cherry finish would be very unusual. I have never seen a Goth that wasn't black or a satin black with black hardware.... Below the last Goth G-400 that is no longer in production....
