Epiphone SG Standard Heritage Cherry Reviews

Great guitar with minor issues.

As far as I know, this is the best Gibson SG Standard alternative, you can look yourself in the mirror and be like: "I AM ANGUS YOUNG" on a budget. The build quality is amazing, it is well built, and the knobs and pots are smooth and very sensitive to small adjustments. It plays amazingly overall, the pickups can do it all, whether it’s clean or distorted this instrument delivers the tones you're seeking.

However, there are some minor issues I've had with the guitar, most notably being the bridge, I did my research and found out that this is a common issue with the type of Tune-O-Matic bridge that comes with the Epiphone SG Standard, in my case, the bridge saddle of the B string was rattling whenever I pick the string, there are permanent solutions that might ruin your guitar, I chose to replace the bridge with a Gotoh bridge. Next, there are some quality control issues that aren't a big deal like the truss rod which was too tight, and the intonation which can be set easily.

Overall, I highly recommend this guitar if you want a solid rock machine on a budget.

Good guitar, fast delivery

Pleasently surprised by a fast delivery, build quality is great, sound is very good for the price, the output jack wasn’t tight and the strings were rusty. Otherwise I’m satisfied with the guitar.

i am satisfied but

i bought the guitar because i love the SG style guitars and i like the features of it , and i like how it sounds .

the only problem i faced is that it needed to be setup , because i got it with a very high action and a buzz on the 12th fret ,

but other than that i am satisfied with my purchase .

Custom guitar with low price

This guitar has a great tone shape and awesome sound, in the minute I had start playing it , I fell for the sound.

Besides the guitar looks so good and the features and the sound so great that it makes you fell like you own a custom guitar while you bought it in it's low price compare to a real custom one.

It is a little disappointing that the guitar don't have a push/pull button to split the pickups but still the whole product is great and totally worth every single dollar that it cost

Would definitely recommend

After spending the best part of a year with this guitar I can give it a very solid 5 stars. Looks great, sounds great and overall just feels really nice to play.

I do have a very minor issue in which it very occasionally cuts out when selecting rhythm on the pickup switch but it comes back straight away after just moving the switch about a bit. It's rare enough for it not to bother me but would be an easy fix if it did and is unlikely to be a widespread issue.

Otherwise really good value for money and amazing quality at this price point. The vintage tuning pegs are a nice touch and as as non-professional, I honestly don't know if I'd notice the difference to the Gibson model despite the significant price difference.
