: : so far as i know they use the same wood, mahogany.

:
: yeh, for the ones i have seen, they're mahogany.
: actually their epi G400 is very much like a regular gibson sg i suppose, except for the type of paint finish. both are mahogany, the epi sometimes has gibson pickups, which makes it seem even more interesting.

New Reply: All people can have valid opinions and observations. I helped choose an Epiphone SG for a young friend of my son's, and I have seen many new ones since. I keep on making sure we got "the best" - ha!

My personal opinion is that the body wood is Agathis. It's rock hard and tight grained. A pretty good tone wood. I have at least one Strat and a Washburn that are definitely Agathis.

Enjoy that SG. Sounds as if it really matters to 'ya.
