OhioSlashFan Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I know ultimately the decision is mine, but is a 4 yr old SG Special worth $50. I have seen them, but never picked one up or played one. They go for $179 at GC new. I know that they are bottom of the line for Epi. would you or wouldn't you? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks[/quote'] I wouldn't even bother with the special unless your a beginner, no matter how cheap it is. BTW for 4 years old I'd pay thirty dollars at the most but that's just me.

I was just wondering if the SG would be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More expensive but way better than the special and a better value imo. GC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GC True, i have been looking at them on and off, alot lately (maybe that;s telling me something) and i can get a g-400 vintage new for $260. i'd have to drop p-90's in right off the bat. i do have a chance to get a used 310 with an Epi. Valve Junior combo amp for $250, but if i'm gonna put out that much for a SG i want to get one w/set neck. although that is a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the store I go to just has really high prices. Yeah, I'd jump on the g400. Those p90s will sound good. If you get it you gotta post pics.

GC[/quote'] It's a 310. the G-310 and amp are used, but the Valve Junior is $200 new alone. it's only 5watts of tube power, but i am hearing nothing but good thing's about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebb Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I have an epi sg special, it's terrible. Get a G-400, the difference is incredible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suicidehummer Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Don't bother with anything below the G400. They're pitiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Nazarenie Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 get it and use to experiment with other pickups. i use an old copy to try out pups in. good soldering practice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioSlashFan Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 get it and use to experiment with other pickups. i use an old copy to try out pups in. good soldering practice too. That's kind of what i was thinking. I certainly dont NEED it, there is no comparison from the SG to what i have. An extra guitar to play around, experiment with. My 8 year old nephew wants a guitar like mine, but he'd probably be happy w/SG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansmitchell Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 The SG special is a smasher at best. Part it out on ebay, you may be able to get $60 for the neck alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
