Supersonic Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Really like this guitar, but if it costs more than $350, this might be one of the few times when I would save a little more a get a Gibson. Only because you can get one of these for $700 and it has the regular tune-o-matic/stopbar setup (which I prefer). Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had no idea they were at $700. At my local guitar center there's on priced at $900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Summerisle Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I was browsing the Epiphone press site and found these P90-equipped G400's. Â Â Does anyone have the link to the relevant webpage? Â I couldn't seem to find it. Â Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Summerisle Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 http://www.epiphone.com/press/ Â Thanks for the link. Â I was rather hoping that there might be a Pelham Blue one, in which case the old American Express card would definitely be taking a beating sometime soon. Alas, no. Â However...is that neck binding, I see? I rather think it is. Â I could definitely be tempted by a TV yellow one. Â Â Â I don't mind the tailpiece, but agree a Bigsby might find its way on there, eventually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trewblue Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 OK so this post started just in time. Was going to ask if anyone had an SG with P90's in either possition. I'm real close to pulling the trigger on either GFS Dream 90's or Dream 180's. Maybe one in the neck and the other in the bridge. I know this is purely a matter of personal taste, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Really dig the varied opinions!! Â Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougefresh91 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Oh, I need to try one of these. Curious how it will stack up against the 60's tribute. At any rate I'm super happy Epiphone is giving us some more SG's. Tired of the cookie cutter selection. Now just give us some with a nicer finish.

maniak Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Boy what a problem,,,too many guitars ,,not enough time or $$.I was already looking at a Gibson 60s Tribute SG with p90's to match the tribute Les Paul i got a month or so back.Never owned anything with p90s b4 and I have to say they're awesome!!!.. So on the one hand the Gibson is really sweet (played it for bout 40 minutes last week) and it would match the Paul or ,,,,,,,,,,I could wait for this Epi and make a nice addition to the Epi SG thing i got going onT ( G400 Korina and my Prophecy GX)To further complicate things,my guy is blowing out a Les Paul Prophecy GX at a RIDICULOUS price.Not sure whats gona happen but i got a feeling the GIbson id coming home with me with in a week. The tag fell off of it 3 times while i was playing it last week. My freind hte store owner saw it happen once and said ,,,"see,,she knows shs gonna go home with you.

Doc Loco Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Love it, shame about the wraparound bridge though. Â Are you crazy ? The wraparound bridge is the best thing on a mahogany/P90 light guitar: it gives them an incredibly resonnant tone, way better than with the tune-o-matin/stopbar bridge (that works fine on other guitars, don't make me tell that one bridge is "better" than the other in general, only with some guitars).

Doc Loco Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Aren't SGs with the strap-button not on the upper horn (like the Tony Iommi) tend to neck-diving ? Â Â Â Urban legend IMHO. I have 5 Gibson SG (three juniors from the sixties, a '99 Std and a '97 Reissue 61) and none are neck-diving. And I've had many more in the past.The only neck-diving SG I've met where those with replacement tuners (those heavy Grovers ... keep the stock tuners, they work fine ;) ) or copies (including Epiphone sadly: those longer and heavier heads doesn't help). Here, they've been smart enough to use the right light tuners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Loco Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Hey, you like 'em, I don't. Â No problem with that of course - but it's not about taste, it's about tone: there's a reason why lightweight mahogany guitars with P90 (not only those, but it's a real winning team) sound better with a wraparound bridge than a tune-o-matic. It's just about physics and the way the string vibrations are directly transmitted to the body by a wraparound. If you compare side by side the same guitar (SG junior for an exemple) with a wrap and a TOM, one will be louder and livier (and it's not the TOM one ;) ).

In that case anything with a TOM would be better served using a wraparound, I don't see it, in any case, I buy an electric guitar to plug it in, not to be played unplugged. To me the physical characteristics of a wraparound are what count against it, lack of intonation fine tuning (after market fix available), all string tension on 2 points, body of bridge tilting forward on the posts, give me a string-thru hardtail bridge or Bigsby any day.
