[shattered]

hi, got this qns.

im in dilemma. wanna get a sg, i like the goth but the maestro seems better.
oh i don't know. any comments?

 

[DjThugs]

how bout an Edwards SG Custom at Davis or a Tokai SG Custom @ Guitar77?..alot better than epis

 

[shattered]

no money =.=
the tokais are like 1k?
im broke! still got many things to buy...
unless u willing to donate some money?

 

[DjThugs]

o..just don't get the SG Special then..at least a G-400..not sur abt the goths and stuff..i used to have a Epi Vintage G-400..and it wasn't so bad..but sold it off..gonna get a Gibson SG though...sooon

 

[shattered]

icic.. yeah i wont get the epi special... it sucks... =x
and sweelee is out of stock of SGs now i tink..
mailed them 2 dyas ago and they said its out of stock.. sad. T_T
i've got a 2nd hand deal for the maestro limited. but im not sure if its worth it. tts y im asking.. haha

 

[DjThugs]

theres 3 different models of the Epiphone SG with maestro..--->http://everythingsg.com/epiphone.htm#limitedg400custom , http://everythingsg.com/epiphone.htm#limitedg400bk , http://everythingsg.com/epiphone.htm#limitedg400...but u gotta try it out yourself first man..how much he letting it go to u for?

 

[shattered]

for 600bucks.. fixed

 

[DjThugs]

i listed 3 models with maestro..which is the 1?cherry,ebony or alphine white?

 

[shattered]

the cherry 1.
it was the website tt guy showed me. he said its in near perfect cond.

 

[DjThugs]

well..i am not sure..but hey..i guess u can't find an epi with maestro brand new nowadays..try iit out..if ulike it..why not..i sold my vintage sg for a lil lower than $600 anyway..

 

[shattered]

yeh i know tt cuz its discontinued.
from some reviews, many says its a good guitar but some people say it doesnt work well, at least not well enough.
and if i wanna get a 2nd hand g-400 faded or standard.. seems like no one is selling at all.

 

[DjThugs]

i've never used a maestro so..i cannot advise u in that..like i said..try it out..if u really like the feel of it..by all means get it..but u must like it..its a personal opinion..just take wad i recommend a pinch of salt..in the end of the day..its u who is gonna play it..

 

[shattered]

yeah might try it.. see how it goes.. might be checking out guitar connection, if i can find sth cheaper.. haha

anyone else got any opinions?

 

[DjThugs]

guitar connection doesn't have any SGs that are cheap...theres a Tokai SG in black there..but i think he is selling it close to 1k or ard $800

 

[shattered]

oh =.= for a new SG its about 680 in SL right?
haiz... i feel so broke.

The Epi SGs are crap man... Though i Love SGs the most, and yes i do own a gib sg... The Epiphones just dont Cut it : ( with the "reissue" look and all that.. Eek

 

[Edge]

dude....in my honest opinion.dont get a Epi SG.....for that budget,i say dont get a SG...get a strat or something.....if ur really keen on the SG,then i would suggest to save up more....
