Epiphone SG Special VE CH 3-stars Reviews

Mixed review

Pros:

1) one of the most smooth, satin finishes I've ever played, really quick and frictionless to slide around

2) great fret job, not high frets or buzzing

3) perfect intonation from the factory

4) great tone (if you adjust the pickup height)

Cons:

1) grainy frets, which make bending a pain

2) really mediocre/bad tuning stability and cheap tuners

2) the nut is cheap plastic, really cheap. looks like it came from a GI Joe.

3) tiny, vintage frets. almost like an acoustic, also

terrible for bending

4) the heel joint is wayyy too low, making playing high up really impractical.

5) not as light as advertised, It's actually quite heavy

Overall, it's a good beginner guitar, to learn chords and riffs

but I would definitely choose Squire or Harley Benton instead, they're just vastly superior instruments for the price.
