    I know I've already got an Epiphone G-400 pro... but even with that price, I'd trade in just to get that sweet headstock shape. It really completes the guitar's character.

    I like the new Epiphone lineup. The head stock is indeed more appealing and the finishes are nice. The top and back is veneered. The Vibrola will throw it out of tune with heavy use such as what you have demonstrated here but a set of locking tuners and a slightly lighter touch will keep it in tune all night long. It's a great value for $650.00.

    Speaking of Vibrolas you might dig John Cipollina's signature use of an SG with a Vibrola on the first Quicksilver Messenger Service album. The opening notes ("Pride of Man") are with his 60s SG Standard (which this Epi is no doubt supposed to be based on) with one.
    BTW I have heard that that vibrato type is one of the more stable designs -- possibly because it works by simply _bending_ a piece of metal...!

    Epiphone has been using mahogany veneer on many guitars. I have a Les Paul standard from 2007 and the back is a veneer. Nothing new here. And if the vibrola is the same as on the Gibson SG, they couldn't keep that one in tune either.

    Ryan - yeah all Epi SGs have a veneer top and back to hide the multiple blocks of wood used to make the body - this is going back many years - not just with the new Epis
    Les Pauls too - everyone knows the flame maple tops are a veneer - but the backs have been veneers also - look at the sides from the back - you'll see all the joins
    The new headstock is the 1960 era epiphone headstock - used on the early casinos and some early epi solidbodys - its not the same as a gibson - but yeah... 1000 miles better than the previous headstock

    2:00 and AGAIN at 4:50 THAT is why I would never own a geetar with such an outdated floating bridge system! Hell, I STEER clear of modern floating designs, let alone a "de-tuner" like this lol. But ... I will SUREPY Purchase The new 2020 Epiphone SG or LP Custom in Tuxedo Black!!! Epi's old headstock design and lower end pups etc had kept me away for years, but I love the new headstock, the new pups, and the low price! For as low as the pricing is on these new Epiphone's, I'm actually okay with getting the frets professionally set up and polished.
    I hadn't planned on purchasing a new electric guitar this year, but seeing this new lineup, I'm sold!

    If my house caught on fire, I'd take the Tele in one hand and the SG in the other and run. If the LP or PRS get left behind, so let it be. The new Epi line looks great and so does the SG vibrola, but you know, no well known artist theses days actually uses the vibrola on their SG because the design sucks as it is very effective in putting the guitar out of tune.
