Epiphone SG electric guitar?

Question

In my search for an electric guitar, I have fallen in love with the Epiphone SG guitar. Especially the red one. Can anyone give me information about this guitar?

Is it a good guitar?

Does it play well?

Are they good quality?

I found a nice red one for sale for $240. Just the guitar, no case or anything. Does that sound like a good price?

Answer 1

The guitar is very good. The problem is that it is neck heavy which means that it tends to fall forward.

When you play, you have to hold the neck as compared to other guitars. It hampers playing a little. Also, they are weak at the joint where the neck is joined at the body.

Make sure that it isn't crack as this often happens. Look very closely.

Personally, I would buy an Epiphone Les Paul over the sG.  The resale value is better and they are about the same price.

You decide.....

Answer 2

its a 22 fret guitar, the body is mahogany for a heavier sound, the neck is also set maple for sustain, the pick ups are pretyy good as well . Epiphone is one of my favorite electric guitar because they give you the best value for your money the guitar is very good to play and i would highly recommend it for a beginner because it looks cool and sounds good for the price. Epiphone has great quality I like my epiphone elist les paul more than my Gibson les paul. The price seems like the same price at any store and it does not really sound on sale.

Overall it is a great guitar just remember to play it before you buy it and to check the whole guitar very closely to avoid blemishes
