Angusthegod Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I guess I'd give it a try since I'm trying to sell it: Anyone wanna buy? Epiphone SG G-310 - $240 (With Gibson tuners) Good condition... Some light scratches on the back of the body only visible when reflected by light.

jcwillow777 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Not to burst your bubble, but they sell for $249 new. Even with new tuners, that's a little high. Just something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Slightly off topic, but how is the sustain on Epi SG models and Gibson Sg's today? I owned one of the thin body Gibson Sg's back in the late 80's and traded it after a couple of years for a Strat because I couldn't make it sing and sustain. I see that most SG's nowadays are thicker. Les Paul himself commented on the Sg's lack of sustain in an interview I read in Guitar World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgifntx Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Hmm... I never knew there was anything problematic with the sustain on an SG..? I can see the tonal properties bein' weak with a thinner body. I don't see how it's thickness would have any bearing on sustain..? I've gone thru 3 of 'em just by choice, Not anything build-wise or anything like that. Just bein' picky as to what I wanted... Post up the article if you get a shot at it. I know he wasn't any kind of fan of the SG..? Well, I heard that was his feelings on the SG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwillow777 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Dave, that is one of the reasons I mainly play LPs. I have a 2005 G-400 with Maestro, which I will never sell. However, the sustain isn't all that great. I love it for upper fret access, which is better than my Strat, but the sustain is no where close to what I get on my LPs. I just sold another G-400 last summer, same thing. Neither guitars have stock pickups. The one I sold had GFS Vintage 59s and the one I still have has a Burstbucker Pro and II in it.

I just thought the stock pups were lackin' in my G-400/Maestro. Went with the Gibby 490r/498t combo and the thing howls with the coyotes... Honestly, It gets kinda' too wild sometimes. I say that runnin' thru a PV C30. Maybe they just dislike each other... What do you think? Body/build - Neck/body joint - Body thickness..? Yeah, I'm with you on hangin' on to it for sure[cool] Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svet Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I picked up a Gibson 61 reissue over the summer and it definitely is one of the best sustaining guitars that I own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoop Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 My G400 certainly sustains excellently. Especially with the TusqXL nut I had installed recently. It's actually made it quite bright too with that nut, so I'm thinking I might put some .047 Orange drops back in it. I had them in for a while, but it was just too dark for me. That was with the old plastic nut though. Anyway, as I said, it certainly doesn't lack sustain, but then I pick up my Les Paul and it's even better. My mate came 'round yesterday to check out the Les Paul and he couldn't believe the sustain, It's just astonishing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angusthegod Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 Of course I know its $249 new!!! I'm not an idiot..... And I'm going to seel it after christmas to this person for that price, if I don't sell it before then...... But about that G400 on ebay..... I like it, but Angus Young has never used a guitar with a whammy bar, live or in the studio, Idk why the hell they have that bridge/whammy bar on the signature Gibson.

In comparison to an LP, the SG doesn't sustain as well. Not to say that my SG doesn't have sustain, it does, but not nearly as much as my LPs. Good price on that Maestro equipped G-400: http://cgi.ebay.com/1965...tar?hash=item2a035604d6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Zeplin Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 My Gibby SG Special hangs right in there with my Gibby LP as far as sustain goes. Besides how long does a note need to ring anyways? A good finger vibrato can milk all the sustain you need. In my opinion Bigsbys and maestros are tone and sustain killers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mistake, alright? I know exactly what I am talking about, so STFU.[/quote'] Man no need to be rude! I've been a fan of AC/DC since before your mommy of thought about having you. I've met the band twice and got to know Bon Scott pretty well. You don't have a clue what Angus did in his early gigging days. I've been backstage at an event in Springfield Ill when AC/DC opened for UFO and partied with both bands before and after the concert. Angus did alot of different types of playing Esp. small venues before they hit it big. He was really into the blues when he was younger. Don't say you know when you clearly haven't been there.
