This is my third Epiphone electric I own a Special ll sunburst and a customized Les Paul.This SG special is a dream to play and own,the finish is flawless.I have played this hard and heavy and the only issue is occasionally slipping out of tune,so I installed Grovers and three weeks of pounding it has held the tuning as well as a high end Gibson SG.....Honestly for around the $200.00 mark you can't beat it......great for noodling or getting serious.....

This is a fine little instrument. It is very light (mine is 5 pounds) and plays like a dream. I basically bought it as a project guitar and will be upgrading the tuners and pickups. One other thing, the body on mine is solid mahogany. When I took off the control cover you could see there was no lamination in the wood...completely solid. Mine was also built in Indonesia...maybe there's a difference in the Chinese models. At any rate I really like the instrument. It sounds fantastic with existing pickups but I still wish to swap them out.

I took a musician friend with me when I bought this guitar. It had the best sound of the 20-30 guitars that we played. We tried I am using it with a vintage Yamaha amp and a couple of inexpensive pedals. It is comfortable, looks great, and sounds fantastic. Eventually I would like to upgrade the tuners, but for now, I am very happy with this guitar.

Had it for about a year now. Replaced the machine heads with Grovers and adjusted everything to my preference. Got a "Gibson Custom" vinyl sticker from Gibson and applied it over "Epiphone" on the head stock. Play her every day. Sounds/plays much better now that she's worked in and has tasted my sweat...and blood.

I'm very happy with this purchase. I recently got back into playing and this cherry SG keeps calling my name. Make sure you get the free setup.

I recently bought this guitar, and I must say it plays very well. The pickups sound awesome, a bit better than my more expensive guitars. I recommend this. It also has a push pot tone knob that kills the output, making it a great killswitch.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
