Description **
A rare baby in excellent condition – the Epiphone SG G-400 Custom, known at Gibson in the 60s as the Les Paul Custom. This is the Epiphone reissue from 2006, made in Qingdao – a model that many collectors are deliberately looking for today.
Playing it takes a little getting used to because of the middle pickup, as you can easily hit it with the pick. We lowered the middle pickup slightly so that no marks are created during testing. Sound-wise, however, the 3-pickup layout is absolutely worth it, because the individual volume controls allow the middle pickup to be blended in continuously – very flexible and anything but standard.
Here is the original text from the Epiphone catalogue:
“G-400 Custom – Authorized by Gibson USA
We've taken this 3-pickup monster and given it even more ‘bite’ with individual bridge, middle and neck pickup volume controls to allow for infinite blending combinations!”
And yes – “monster” fits. Once you play it, you immediately know what they meant. It sounds detailed, powerful and has plenty of bite. A rock machine with style.
The Medium C neck sits solidly in the hand. The cream binding on the fingerboard and the gold hardware give it that classic Custom look – elegant, but not overly polished.
It has a few signs of use, but overall it is in very good condition. We levelled and polished the frets and gave it a setup – now it plays cleanly, directly and very comfortably.
