    Nikel, nothing to say everything is (and has already said t)

    UTILIZATION

    Channel trs enjoyable (what an SG), available freight.
    I thought at first that the guitar would lean more, or it looks lgrement trs but little (it is an even kan SG)

    SOUNDS

    Indniablement the highlight of this guitar, the pickups Gibson Tony Iommi provide United States!
    Also the neck pickup bridge that sound perfectly, as well as saturated, clear sound that crunch, by coupling the two microphones is obtained at a big fat distortion.
    Its clear the serious micro rings beautifully, it's hot, it's round, it bo.
    In short all of the same guitar versatile enough even if axs Rock 'n Metal

    OVERALL OPINION

    Excellent intruments, I tried a bunch of guitars in this price range (500 Thomann, 690 pigalle) and I won t. Serious difficulty is the better price. Microphones reprsentent alone more than half the price but a real pleasure c and the worth. I've had two months and I'm thrilled!!
    In short I would do without hsiter this choice is clear

    Finally at the sound, although fiddling RULES everything we quickly found a sound that suits us.

    SOUNDS

    Unlike what his appearance might suggest, this is truly versatile scratching even if we draw the quintessence saturation and distortion. For my part, I play mostly rock of the 60s and 70s, but also a lot of electric blues and this guitar suits me well trs (when I told you it silent versatile!)
    I play on a 112 W amp behringer (120 watts) plugged into a 4x12 of the same brand.
    In terms of sound, we can say that the personality has a lot of scratches because of its signature pickups

    In clean

    the neck pickup seems most appropriate by giving her round and warm, yet not be the bridge pickup with INTERESTED sounds more clicks and more crystalline despite the fact they are a bit colder with the microphones handle.

    In saturated and disto

    Then l is a really impressive! gibson mics really give normment potato while remaining prcis and sharp as razor blades!
    On the neck pickup when the saturation is pushing one obtains a very serious and hot fat, perfect for hard blues!
    The bridge pickup is done more for him on the big distortion by giving her a powerful trs, trs trs prcis lively and that allows you to go on for infinity solos with slides and large Feedback!
    The only small problem is that saturated distortion and the characters of this skyscraper has not really expressed a certain volume of the amp, and it's not gnial for those who have hostile neighbors!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a week
    I love the look, the comfort of games, especially finish and sound .....
    What bothers me a bit is its tendency to pitch down, although I start to me: and then all Manir, until proven otherwise, when you play the guitar, it is the handle!
    I already try a squier, and another sg in this price range and I do not regret my choice!
    The ratio price quality seems excellent to the extent that the microphones reprsentent More than half the price of the Beast (500 euro bought from Thomann)
    Before buying it, I was afraid it does not match my style musiqual, but with the exprience is sure that I would do this choice! Frankly I advice everyone!

    Budget Iommi signature with great pickups

    Epiphone Tony Iommi G-400Published on 06/02/11 at 09:44
    The Iommi G-400 is the budget version of the Gibson Tony Iommi signature. The Gibson Iommi model costs over 5000 dollars when this one costs around 500. The guitar is based off the Epiphone G-400 with some upgrades. The Epiphone G-400 is a budget priced version of the Gibson SG produced in Asia by Epiphone. The design is based off the early 60s version of the Gibson SG with the small batwing style pickguard. The G-400 has been produced for over 20 years and has been a standout of the Epiphone line. The G-400 comes with Grover tuners on the headstock of a 24 fret neck with a rosewood fretboard. The normal G-400 only has a 22 fret neck. The fretboard is bound with rosewood instead of plastic…

    The Iommi G-400 is the budget version of the Gibson Tony Iommi signature. The Gibson Iommi model costs over 5000 dollars when this one costs around 500. The guitar is based off the Epiphone G-400 with some upgrades. The Epiphone G-400 is a budget priced version of the Gibson SG produced in Asia by Epiphone. The design is based off the early 60s version of the Gibson SG with the small batwing style pickguard. The G-400 has been produced for over 20 years and has been a standout of the Epiphone line. The G-400 comes with Grover tuners on the headstock of a 24 fret neck with a rosewood fretboard. The normal G-400 only has a 22 fret neck. The fretboard is bound with rosewood instead of plastic and has five mother of pearl cross inlays. It has a mahogany body and mounted to the body are the Signature Tony Iommi Pickups. These pickups cost about 200 dollars each so it is great that they included these with the guitar.

    UTILIZATION

    With the dual cutaways of the SG design the upper frets are very easy to reach. It has the Gibson 60s profile neck which is the preferred profile for guitar players. In the 50s Gibson necks were very large and referred to as baseball bat necks. In the 60s Gibson switched to a slimmer neck design. This slimmer design is what the G-400 has. One problem SG's is that the neck is mounted far out on the body and with the body being thinner than a Les Paul the guitar is slightly neck heavy. When you are standing up and playing the neck may want to drop down and you may find yourself holding the neck up. The Iommi model tries to fix this with a different strap placement. The new strap placement helps but the problem is still there. The cross inlays dont go all the way up the neck of the guitar they stop at the 12th fret. The neck has some kind of dye on it that will get on your fingers the first few times you play it.

    SOUNDS

    Since Tony Iommi is known for his down tuning the pickups have a lot of high end bite. Tony Iommi use to use single coils in his old SG's to have the high end bite and clarity he needed for his low tunings. These pickups replicate that sound. With the mahogany body you get a full sound and since it is slightly thinner than a Les Paul you get more high end bite on your sound. The pickups are hotter than you would normally get in a guitar like this stock so it does even better with heavy tones.

    OVERALL OPINION

    With the Gibson Iommi Signature model costing more than 5k I am glad Epiphone has their own version to sell to normal people. It still comes with the same pickups as the Gibson model so the tone will essentially be the same. Iommis name is only on the truss rod cover and that can be removed if you dont want someone elses name on your guitar. A great this is that if you dont like the pickups you can sell them. And being about 200 dollars each you will get back most of what you spent on the guitar.
