nice hehehe a G400 hehehe.. ayos na !! derekslim !
with my g400 faded ...i bought it because of aesthetic reasons.
i told someone to buy it for me.. actually its the epi sg vs epi dot es335 ..buti na lang sg na pili ko..next time na yung dot..
likes :
1.) lightweight -- its so light , i can walk around the house all day while playing it.. and i'll never have back problems (Machine_head buy urself an SG
)
2.) neck pup tone & in-between tone-- before i was saying its muddy , now im a believer thats its sings its all about tone control..
just like deltaslim said, its clearer than most LP .. also tama rin si deltaslim re in-between tone ..twang maganda for rhythm parts
3.) neck access -- best trait ng sg, compare to strat.. no distractions ..
4.) grover tuners !!
dislikes :
1.) neck -- (epi sg) almost all players from everythingsg.com have the same problem , the neck is too heavy (one piece neck) it's not balance. but as you play more often , you'll learn to find its balance position..
2.) bridge pup -- i find it too thin sounding , i use tone control to tweak it ..pero thin parin..delta , does your bridge pup sound the same ?
3.) strap lock -- you need to have a strap lock !! or a nice strap with durable ends..its scary sometimes to wank your guitar hehehe..
4.) tune-o-matic bridge -- i often play with my right hand resting on the bridge...the saddles is somewhat woobly.. its been a problem before. i had it intonated ok na.. but im thinking of upgrading next time.
5.) toggle switch -- i got my sg without hardcase. with softcase, naiipit yung switch , after a while the toggle gets loose and you'll have problems switching pups (i put styrofoam in the switch para hindi maiipit pag softcase gamit ko) . also the switch was somewhat cheap (i changed it). and i also dont like the color of the ends (orange!!)
6.) nut -- its plastic , i had problems with intonation when i first got it. na iipit yung strings..
overall .. with all the upgrades and perfect setup, my "devil - do - cry " is still my no. 1
