LP_VM55 Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 I have a friend of mine who LOVES Gibson guitars but can't really afford one and has to settle for an Epiphone... We looked around and found this... http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Epiphone-SG-Standard-S.O.R-Electric-Guitar?sku=512455 anything you guys can tell me about this paticular guitar is much appreciated... Bust? or Must?
:oilpit: Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Change your damn signature, get a quote that SLASH said, not his ghost writer. Anyway That the best Epi SG your gonna find, I'd go for it...

RichCI Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Besides here, I frequent the alt.guitar Usenet group which has a pretty wide range of players (and personalities) from varying styles and tastes in gear (yes, people play other guitars besides Gibsons). This one guy who goes by the name Dr. Zontar is a very experienced player who has been gigging for a long time, mostly in metal bands of various forms, and he is very cool and knowledgeable about gear and I respect his opinions a lot. His main guitar is an Epiphone G-400 that he painted himself with a picture of Godzilla. Dr. Zontar is also a guy who doesn't believe in overspending on gear but he does believe in good gear. If he says an Epi G-400 is a good guitar, I take his word for it. So, I think your friend will probably be very happy with that guitar.
:oilpit: Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Does it really bother you that much? It's his quote from his autobiography... It's in his biography, that doesn't mean he said Look at the cover, it says slash and Anthony Bozza Slash just dictated, Anthony came up with most of the clever quotes And why the hell is Slash your hero, he's a terrible hero He is a damn good guitarist but he was a heroin addict for the better part of his life and was and is still an alcoholic He goes on tour when he should be taking care of his kids and cheats in his wife. Your hero? Really?

Yeah, he's not the best MORAL figure...but i kinda have grown in up the same situations and hardships... even having interracial parents like he did.
:oilpit: Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Re-read my post, he didn't write the book, there's a real high chance he didn't come up with that quote And you grew up with seperated British black hippie artist acoholic parents? Lol Nvm

Thundergod Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Does it really bother you that much? It's his quote from his autobiography... ...yes... he is a slash whore... (i'm not going to say who is slash and who the slash whore in that smiley).
Thundergod Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 ...ok... maybe that was too much... I'll delete it... tomorrow.
Tim Plains Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 That's probably a decent guitar for $400. You can also buy an Epi Les Paul for that much. But, if the economy really nosedives next year, he'll be able to afford a Gibson SG Special next year. If he can wait, he should.
Thundergod Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Those epi g-400s are great guitars for the money. I used to own one ("vintage" finish, which was kind of a faded), it was great. Sometimes when I see one in a storewall, I feel I should buy one. Maybe one of this days I will.
:oilpit: Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 wow oilpit' date=' rough night?[/quote'] No, but this kinda thing pisses me off... I get all this sh*t for being a Slash whore, and someone comes along with the most well known Slash quote in their sig and then states that Slash is his hero. Well, it makes me realize why I get sh*t, if I get grouped with all the other poser Slash whores. I liked him before the media and every 7 year old kid with an xBox got a perma-boner for him.
Thundergod Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 I liked him before the media and every 7 year old kid with an xBox got a perma-boner for him. gotta hate guitar hero... (I do)
9jmc9 Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 "With all do respect...that idea ain't worth a velvet painting of a wail and a dolphin gettin' it on" I don't give a SH!T if Slash said it or not, or that you lifted it from his co-written biography, but WTF! learn how to F**CKING spell!!!! ...DUE respect... WHALE and a dolphin...
Thundergod Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 +1 thay could at least try... (Now I know why I didnt understand that sig... "wail"? "do respect"?
LP_VM55 Posted December 5, 2008 Author Posted December 5, 2008 "With all do respect...that idea ain't worth a velvet painting of a wail and a dolphin gettin' it on" I don't give a SH!T if Slash said it or not' date=' or that you lifted it from his co-written biography, but WTF! learn how to F**CKING spell!!!! ...DUE respect... WHALE and a dolphin... [/quote'] I intentionally using improper grammar of the word whale, however both spellings are actual words. But if that bothers you too I will switch it Wail: to scream or yell in anguish; To constantly physically hit or strike something rapidly Whale:....if you don't know what a whale is I can't help you...
ninety1vee Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 anybody thinkin about getting a g-400 listen up. PLAY IT BEFORE YOU BUY IT they are very hit and miss guitars the amazing ones are amazing, the horrible ones make you wanna cry the pups are weak, i got a dimebucker in mine

I'm pretty sure we all knew (new?) wail was a real word, dipsh!t... Maybe you can tell us how "to scream or yell in anguish; To constantly physically hit or strike something rapidly" gets it on with a dolphin. Your parents should confiscate your guitar and buy you a friggin book or two....
