Epiphone SG Modern Figured Trans Black

incredible specs for price - needs adjustments out of the box

I love how long the neck is with 24 frets. The guitar came with a very high actin and the intonation was also bad, but I suspect this is often the case with international shippings - especially taking it into account the that guitar travels tuned down in a box for days. I need to adjust the neck relief, but there was no hex-wrench in the box. :( I tried adjusting the action and intonation, but there's still a but more relief the neck needs so I'm taking it to a guitar technician.

Overall the locking tuners are great, I like the sound of the pickups too, and there's tons of tone variation with the coil tap and phase switch options. The nut is a bit high and my F is a bit sharp.

I absolutely fell in love with the finish, but be advised it looks a darker brown-greyish brown in regular sunlight not as woody as on the photos.

Passage obligatoire chez un luthier!

Deux cordes frisaient!

Réglages également de trois frettes!

Awesome guitar

Puts more expensive guitars to shame.

Coil splitting and Out of phase switch are handy tools, and the sound from the probuckers is great for a loud rock sound.

Neck feels great to play and the action was good out of the box.

Flame maple looks amazing. Very happy with this guitar

Love it

The finish is perfect, feels nice to play and has loads of options. The output of the pickups is a bit low for my taste, that's why I gave it 4 stars on sound.

It's a great guitar. Better than i expected. Very light and the sound is just good. I would prefer this guitar for all who are looking for something new in the old models. And the finish is just ... Amazing!
