Epiphone SG Special Electric Guitar Review

Perhaps this guitar will be your first electric guitar? Read the review first, epiphone SG special.

As a guitarist I founded the band since 2000, but at that time I have not had any of the electric guitar. I just practice at home with an acoustic guitar and started a lot of practice with an electric guitar while practicing in the studio

After two years of playing with my band it was time for me to buy my own electric guitar. At that time I was still in college and do not have my own income. So I have to save up to buy my first electric guitar. Although not much I decided to look for a guitar at the price of $ 150 to $ 200.

So the choice between Squire or Epiphone.

At that time I was listening Stereophonic a lot, and really like the guitar belonged to Kelly Jones, the Gibson SG. So I decided to look for an electric guitar, Epiphone SG because I don't have enough money to buy a Gibson.

And in fact it was rather difficult to get a Epiphone SG electric guitar, when I found it after looking for it on several music stores. I instantly bought.

This guitar feels very light weight if you compare to Les Paul, round-shaped neck and quite comfortable in the hand. SG Epihone using short scale is 24.75 inch neck made ​​from mahogany and maple laminated agathis body.

The difference between Gibson SG and Epiphone SG Special is the quality of the wood. Epiphone wood body use Agathis laminated maple / alder. It also explains why this guitar is quite light weight.

Store default action setting is quite high, so I have to re-set to make it more comfortable to play. I tried using the string size 09 to 11. I think it sounds more leverage when using strings size 11.

Epiphone SG special use two humbucker with only one volume and tone knob, that distinguishes the standard SG is the volume and tone knobs are separated between the neck and bridge pickup.

Now we will discuss the sound, SG special gives a bright sound at medium attack. Where the character of the two pick-up is flat. This means that the sound produced is good for pop music, rock to blues.

Clean sound of the guitar is slightly thinner and lighter than a les paul. Sometimes good for solo play. With this kind of this model I think you will really like to use drive for the rhytm and and more reverb for solo.

There's 22 frets which means you can play till the D note.

Conclusion

If you are beginner guitarist or just want kelly jones's guitar without draining your save box than this guitar is for you.
