BryanFoFyan Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 (Titanic Music) My Les Paul Custom starting falling apart as the pups stopped working and the toggle switch got stuck. the crack on it started to split and get bigger so i decided to let it go as i didnt have money to repair all of its problems. but im happy to say im welcoming a new Epi to my family.

charlie brown Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Hmmmm....how did (all) this happen, to your Les Paul Custom? They're (usually) pretty robust, guitars. The electronics problem, would have been an easy fix, but the "Split," is very unusual, unless it was dropped really hard, or abused, in some way. If it was a "natural" occurance, you could have had it fixed, or replaced, under warrenty...if you were the original owner. But, at any rate, congratulations, on your G-400. Looks good!

BryanFoFyan Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 there was a pretty large crack and gouge of wood. i got it that way from the previous owner. my only guess is it fell off a strin swing onto marble or something like that because it was on the back and along te side where the binding is. it started getting wider and chipping even more.

charlie brown Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Well, that explains it...good decision, to let 'er go! Besides, the G-400 has much better upper fret access, and is a lot lighter, too. ;>) How's the neck, on your G-400. Does it "nose dive," or is it pretty well balanced? A good strap, will help, of course... Cheers, CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanFoFyan Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 the neck in the playability sense i love and in the nose dive sense the strap i have for it is a 2.5 inch leather one and it holds the SG in position pretty well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggs Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 The 'Qing Dao Lass' doesn't nose dive at all:-k Is that a common problem with SGs &/or G400 generally? eggmuffins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that they are neck heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaj Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 sg and g400's are NOTORIOUS for taking nose dives at the worst possible moment. The problem is that they are neck heavy. Agreed. Most people on the forum with SG's and G-400's will tell you that a large strap will solve the issue. I don't mind it because it is a light guitar (well, comparing to a Les Paul, of course) but again, I just put a fairly large strap (two days ago) and it is considerably better.
