Epiphone SG G400 Cherry 1997
Description
Description
This second hand electric guitar is very good condition
A couple of little dents on the body, nothing major.
The 1997 Epiphone G‑400 is one of the best-value SG‑style guitars Epiphone ever produced. Built during the respected Samick Korea period, it offers surprisingly high craftsmanship, excellent neck feel, and a warm, vintage‑voiced tone that many players prefer over later Chinese‑made G‑400s.
Body & Neck
- Mahogany body (solid and resonant)
- Mahogany set neck with a slim‑taper 60s profile
- Rosewood fretboard with trapezoid inlays
- Longer neck tenon than later models → better sustain and stability
Feel:
The neck is fast, comfortable, and more Gibson‑like than newer Epiphones. Korean fretwork from this era is consistently better than the early 2000s Chinese runs
Tone & Electronics
Tone Character:
- Warm, mid‑forward SG sound
- Smooth top end
- Not overly hot—more vintage than modern
- Responds well to tube amps and overdrive pedals
Pros
- Grover‑style tuners
- Decent bridge & tailpiece for the era
- Good nut slots compared to later budget Epiphones
Aesthetics & Era-Specific Details
1991 models typically feature:
- Deep cherry SG finish
- Small pickguard (more vintage-correct)
- Open-book‑inspired headstock shape (before Epiphone changed it)
- “Gibson-style” font on the truss rod cover
They look more like a classic SG than many later Epiphones.
Strengths
- Light weight
- Excellent upper fret access
- Slim, fast neck
- Balanced body
But overall, these are very playable, even by modern standards.
The 1997 Epiphone G‑400 is a fantastic guitar for players who want:
- A vintage‑feeling SG without Gibson prices
- A mod‑friendly platform
- Korean-era craftsmanship
- Warm, classic rock tones
