More cheap Epi goodness....

Hi All,

Musicians Friend has the Epi G-400 (SG Knockoff ) for $200, limited quantities. If I didn't already have one, I would do it.

That's guitar's a workhorse, fer sure.

The only gotcha is the body weight. I'd recommend picking one up first - if you're cool with it's weight & balance, go for it. (My son added a Bigsby to his for 'ballast').

Speaking of cheap Epi goodness, my son just got this for $160 from eBay:

Wilshire reissue

I just finished doing a setup on it, and it's sweet. Very good weight and balance, and the action's great. The pickups surprised me - they seem significantly brighter than most low-end Epis. I'd recommend this as an alternative to anyone in the market for an Epi SG.
