Epiphone G-400 Custom SG Collection Electric Guitar, Antique Ivory Feature

• Mahogany body
• Alnico Classic(TM) Humbucker pickups
• Rosewood fretboard
• 24.75 scale

Elegant and powerful, the classic three pickup SG lives on in stunning detail--even down to the "Les Paul" script at the end of the fingerboard. The G-400 Custom features three powerful Alnico Classic Humbucking pickups like the original but with even more flexibility with individual bridge, middle and neck volume controls to allow for infinite blending combinations.

The classic three-pickup SG lives on.

Alnico V humbuckers and the industry-standard Tune-O-Matic bridge.

Rosewood fretboard with trapezoid inlays.

Angled Headstock
Unlike cheaper designs, all Epiphones feature a 14-degree headstock that gives you more pressure at the nut and so you get more sustain with less tuning hang-ups caused by "string-tree" gadgets.

Double-Waxed Pickups
Epiphone utilizes a double vacuum waxing process that ensures optimum performance. The pickup is first placed in the specialized wax vacuuming system before the cover is put in place to ensure that the wax fully penetrates to the very center of the pickup and solidifies all parts. After the cover is placed on, it is again given a second vacuum wax bath until the unit is completely saturated with wax.

Output Jack
To increase reliability and ensure consistent performance, Epiphone's proprietary output jacks feature an improved contact shape and heavy-duty spring steel.

Toggle Switches
All Epiphones feature our all-metal, USA designed switches for reliable contact and longer life.

Tunomatic Bridge
Fully adjustable, the tunomatic remains a classic after over 50 years. Unlike guitars fitted with tremolos, there are no tuning or re-stringing difficulties. Plus, tone and sustain are improved because all string vibrations are transferred directly to the guitar.

Potentiometers
Epiphone is passionate about performance. That's why their instruments use one-inch diameter potentiometers for better "throw," longer life and reliable service.

Quick-Connectors
For unequalled reliability as well as ease of service, Epiphone wiring harnesses feature quick-connectors.

In 1961, The Les Paul Model was changed from the shape we immediately think of to what we know now as the SG. The Epiphone G-400 Custom is our faithful reissue of this elegant reincarnation, the 1961 Les Paul Custom. In fact, it even bears Les' signature and model name on the pickguard extension plate at the end of the fingerboard. It features classic all-Mahogany carved-body constuction with three Alnico Classic Humbucker Pickups that produce a wall of classic SG tone. The set, Mahogany neck with Rosewood fingerboard has bold, block inlays and the look is true vintage glamour with Antique Ivory finish and Gold hardware, boasting Grover machine heads and the sustain-enhancing LocTone locking Tune-o-matic bridge and Stopbar tailpiece, exclusive from Epiphone.
