SG users -- How would you describe the tone of your SG (especially the Epi ones)? Mine has stock pus and I like them better as is than when I tried to "upgrade" them. I think Epi put really good Gibson-spec pus in these gtrs.

Here is my Epi SG in action w/ Firebottle last weekend... Comments naman pls.

You should tell us what your gtr and amp settings. My first impression is medyo muddy yung sound, but can't tell exactly why. You need to cut some mids and increase the highs.

paengkee · « **Reply #182 on:** December 31, 2006, 02:13:39 PM »

gtr: bridge pickup. vol at 8

i plugged it in direct to mixer. hehe. panget ang gain. the eq wasnt set up right tho

paengkee · « **Reply #183 on:** December 31, 2006, 02:44:59 PM »

updated new clips. this time i used a real amp

... and deleted the led zeppelin

im not gonna plug my soundclick anymore since its practically all over this place. but still i need help kasi im not sure if i should upgrade my pickups

Jam1 is a bluesy jam

jam2 is a swedish death metal riff plus some other stuff...

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..

As of today, I've picked up this very same model. I got to the guitar store about an hour before closing time. I asked the attendant if I could try the guitar out in their back-room. I decided on running the thing through it's paces through a 30-watt transistor amp...the cheapest one at that. My reason behind it is that if I could coax a good tone out of it from a cheap amp, I know that with a little bit of tweaking, I can get a better tone out of a more expensive amp (perhaps like the B-52 AT-112 I've been keeping my eye on at Guitar Center). I ended up doing lead runs and some Mick Ronson rhythms on it before finally picking it up. I'm very partial to really bright tones right now and it looks like this Faded G-400 is just the right thing to get. I plan on having it adjusted by a luthier to get it ready for heavier strings (thinking 11's or 12's!!!) and it's tuning to either C or C#.

I'm glad I had a pair of clip-loks hanging about in my dresser. I've now fitted the bad boy with sky-blue colored ones.

I'm going to like this when it becomes my main riff machine!

nice dead wing.. good choice..

how's the toggle switch ? mine broke 2 weeks after constant playing

i still dont have strap locks and a good leather straps.. nylon doesnt hold the weight of the neck

mikep · « **Reply #186 on:** January 04, 2007, 04:36:14 PM »

For Epis, either MIK or MIC, the first parts that must be replaced, in my experience as owner of 5 different Epi models well as the experience of Epiforum members are 1) pup switch; 2) volume and tone pots. These parts are available at Audiophile. Get the Switchcraft ones or the AllParts switches. Both are good with the Switchcraft being better. For pots, AllParts are okay. 500k, either linear or audio taper, I believe linear for tone and audio taper for volume.

FWIW

Thanks! I guess time will tell when those switches go to pot (so to speak), since I only got it a few hours ago

Thanks for the advice, MP. I've always looked up to your sage-like wisdom since the old philmusic mailing list back in the 90's. I may have to get those things looked at by the luthier when I get my free set-up done.
