GilmourFan Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I'd like to know, from experienced guitar players, the information and specs about these guitars. Which one has a better relation of Quality-Price? The LP-100 fits which style and bands? And the G400? Let me know :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 The G400 is a better guitar in all aspects. Better wood, better tuners, better pups, better neck (set), better ratio of quality to price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigneil Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 SG's and and LP's are different animals and it is hard to say one is better than the other. However I do agree that the G400 is a better quality guitar than an LP 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzoboy Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 The G-400 is definitely the better guitar,the L.P. 100 just doesn't cut it with regards of sound and build quality with its bolt-on neck and even though the G-400 is prone to neck-dive it still has a better all around feel to the neck and fretboard.A guy I know bought a L.P.100 just so he could have a Les Paul but he only had it for about a month before he brought it back and traded it against a set neck L.P. as the bolt-on 100 just didn't have the same sustain or tone quality.

RobinTheHood Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 The LP-100 is more akin to the G-310 (SG) than the G-400 which is more akin to the LP Standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumblinman Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 LP-100 is better than LP Special, but not up to Studio level. G400 is good if you like that style guitar. I personally traded my G400 for another LP, and I still have my LP100. It's apples and oranges. If you get a good one, it's great. Maybe I had a really crappy G400, but it just didn't sound right to me. All treble and none of that "meat" that an LP brings. Tone is subjective, quality of build is not. What are you truly after?

dmeadows85 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 +1 on the apples/oranges I've had a G400 and loved it, but is more treble-y. The LP is going to have the low end, if you want it. You should really be comparing the G400 and the Epi LP Standard. What sound you are seeking will better dictate which to choose. I do love that blue finish on some of the LPs. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueman335 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 The G400 is a better guitar in all aspects. Better wood, better tuners, better pups, better neck (set), better ratio of quality to price. +1. I have a few G-400's, and would never bother with an LP100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
