2004 Reissue
I would have to say that at first sight I never was a totally SG stan neither a Les Paul kind of guy, but I became as my peculiar tastes for guitar tones aged through all those years I’ve been out there playing. Despite Les Pauls being extremely badass, goldtop finishing being the holy-grail of all the godtier goodlinkg guitars (asde with Gretsch White Falcon and, as I said before, the humbucker Nocaster and the natural blackguard Korina V) I never owned a Les Paul, but also never felt a thrill, to this day, about it to having one. Maybe I’ll change my mind in the futre who knows? The thing is that through the years I’ve putted my hands in so many SG’s that I finally made up my mind that this is one of the best suiting instruments for my live performances, inspired a lot by Hendrix, Jake Kizska and Sister Rosotta Tharpe style of playing and the use they have to that instrument. Georges Harrisson’s 1964 Sg standard with maestro vibrola and walrus tooth (in shape) handle is for me the pinnacle of SG greatness, alongside with Sister Rosettas model that in fact inspired me on naming my very own Les Paul 1961 Custom, so influent she has for me as a guitarist. She inspires power and revolution and there’s something about that period of time in rock music that drives me crazy and every time I think about it I get a haze. A creativity haze, a craving for creating something asap. I don’t know, It’s magic.That being said, an interesting funfact about my relationship with these model’s are that in my early youth a ESP LTD Viper SG was my very first guitar, one that doesnot hold much options and a very very low end, but that served me well as a study instrument for that period of my life. After that I slowly upgraded my gear for live performances, but still find it odd that I end up with this guitar, and that amoung all the ones I own it is my favorite to jam around. My model it’s a very cheap clone made in England, but that actually upgraded it with BB pros wich I found that sound a little darker to me, with a Gibson 57s on the neck that are brighter and a little edgier. BB have a smoother more compressed kinda sound, but 57 have more crisp, defined sound that complement each other when playing. That models also had a maestro vibrola added as a custom feature by the previous owner, and for versatiliyy on stage I added a different set of speed knobs from A Gibson Les Paul Special.
The very best versatile guitar ever!
I bought it cause I was looking for a versatile guitar, I thought about a les Paul but they didn't hace any les Paul in stock so i asked "And which one would you recommend me then?" He didn't even doubt of saying this model, when i grab it the first song I played was crazy train from ozzy and randy, pretty crazy sound by the way, and now banda are inviting me to Play jazz and stills good!!! It's the beat guitar I've ever had!
I bought 2
These guitars remind me of my first band, and how this was stolen from me back in 2005. After years and years of searching I found one and bought it, then 4 days later another one showed up and I bought that one too.

Great bit of gear.
This thing plays stupidly well, has a great dynamic range despite the rather weak sound of the pups. I use mine for slide and on a nice crunch sound it sounds insane!

Good High Action For Slide
Really good for certain things, that middle pickup can help you get some gnarly fuzz tones too. Found tuning fairly unstable due to neck joint. Doesn't play that nice, but that kinda just makes you play differently.
it's a great price-quality guitar, comfortable & sounds really vintage...
scince i've got this guitar, i just changed the pickups and replace them with a pair of washburn's 83's guitar because stock sounds a little dark for me. great guitar highly recomended.

On this concert you can clearly see that Lupus is playing a White Epiphone Custom SG with three Humbucker and a Tremolo.
"I'm using Epiphone guitars because I'm an Epiphone endorsee. I use the Epiphone SG-400 and I convert that into a two string. I have a Hartke amp, a 3500 which has a really snappy, upfront, punchy sound and distorts nicely. It has a nice gain structure in it and a multi-band EQ which I love too. I also have a deal with them too so most of my stuff comes from those two companies. Andrew our guitar player has a Gibson endorsement so uses those guitars and a whole array of funky old pedals something I don't use at all."
