shinie194 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Hi everyone I'm kind of new to the guitar scene and today I just got a new guitar. I have no idea what it's called but the guy at guitar center said it's a Epiphone Limited Edition SG Custom Shop and I tried looking for that online but I couldn't find the model. He also said it's a discontinued model and not the SG400's so he really didn't have an Idea what kind of guitar it is. I personally like the sound and I chose it over the Epiphone Les Paul Studio Alpine White version. If anyone knows what kind of Model this is and usually how much this would cost because I got it for $299.99 and not sure how much it's actually worth. Also I'm trying to buy a new amp right now because I have the 10 watt Marshall Combo which is a really good amp but it's getting a bit old and I don't know which amp to get for 100-200 $'s... and I like to play alternative/punk/poprock type of stuff. Here's the Pictures of The Guitar I got.. (The White things on the black part of the guitar are just bubbles from the plastic.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButchCassidy Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Not 100% sure or anything, but this basically looks like a G400 (which I used to have). Epiphone may have made a special edition or something, but as far as I can tell it's basically the same. Set neck, same looking humbuckers, four knobs, half pickguard, etc. The g400 usually goes for $300-$350. If you're looking for an amp I'd say the Valve Jr. by Epi. It's probably not going to sound how you want it to right off, so you'd wanna get a pedal for distortion/overdrive. I just say the valve jr. because it's cheap, it's pretty loud for such a small amp, and it's clean sounding so it's a good base point for a pedal.

shinie194 Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 I was recommended that The Line6 Stuff are really good with effects and stuff but I don't know much about the pedals.. I do have a marshall 10 watt amp that has distortion but I wanted to do stuff with effects which I'm not too sure of between the pedals and an amp that has built in effects..

ButchCassidy Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I got a line 6 spider II for x-mas and really didn't like it. It did have a lot of effects though, so that's something you might dig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
