I have an Epi SG. It's the cheapest model available but it has a great feel and seems pretty solid. The electronics are a little weak, but still pretty good for an instrument in the price range. I bought it with the intention of dropping in some active pickups anyway, probably some EMG's. (81 and 85). An Epiphone LP would be awesome. I have played a couple in the music stores and was impressed by their quality and playability. I taught my son to play and He would really appreciate getting my SG, even though it would be a hand-me-down! Thanks for the chance to win such a cool guitar!
