commanderzoom Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 *Also posted this in the Epiphone electrics section. I hope that's allowed? I'm fairly new here. Picked this up yesterday (used) because she sounds great, feels perfect to my fretting hand, is in pretty damn good condition, and seems pretty well made, at least as far as I can tell. Not as good of quality as my Gibson LP, but I'm pretty sure that's to be expected, and I can't afford any of the Gibson SGs. She has a straight neck--truss rod adjustment = normal, twisty = hell no!--and it's a set neck with trapezoid inlays. Headstock has the, idk, crown? logo and the truss rod cover says "Gibson". She has 4 black top hat knobs with silver colored centers that say "tone" and "volume". The tuners don't have any brand stamped on them, so maybe aftermarket? I think that's a bone nut and not original. No stickers on the back of the headstock and the 9 digit serial is stamped on at the top. I'm not finding the serial number as a match to any in the database so maybe she's a counterfeit? Doesn't particularly matter to me if she is because the price was right ($300 talked down to $275) and included a Vox VT20+ amp in excellent condition, cable, a floor stand, and a hard case. Whether she's a real Epiphone or not, I consider myself to have gotten a pretty good deal 🙂 It's not letting me upload photos so I made a Flickr account: https://www.flickr.com/photos/189352571@N02/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
