Epiphone SG G400 Cherry 2002 Made In Korea

This guitar is in very good condition, with only a few minor scratches and cosmetic imperfections. These marks are very subtle and barely noticeable, having no impact on the guitar’s appearance, playability or functionality.

The Epiphone SG G-400 in Cherry, made in Korea in 2002, is a classic take on one of Gibson's most recognisable electric guitar designs. With its distinctive double-cutaway SG body, powerful dual-humbucker configuration and iconic Cherry finish, the G-400 offers plenty of the attitude and versatility that has made the SG such a popular choice with rock and blues players for decades. This particular example is from Epiphone's Korean-made era, making it an appealing option for players and collectors looking for a well-established vintage example of the G-400.

The G-400's familiar SG-style mahogany body provides a naturally warm and resonant foundation, while the slim double-cutaway design gives excellent access to the upper frets. This makes the guitar particularly comfortable for lead playing, bends and higher-register solos, while the relatively lightweight SG body is easy to wear for longer playing sessions. The classic Cherry finish completes the traditional SG appearance, giving the instrument plenty of stage presence without being overly flashy.

A pair of humbucking pickups provides the G-400 with a broad range of tones, from warm and rounded sounds through to the aggressive, driven character associated with the SG design. The bridge pickup delivers plenty of bite and definition for rock riffs and lead work, while the neck pickup offers a fuller, smoother sound that works particularly well for blues, classic rock and cleaner passages. With individual volume and tone controls for each pickup and a three-way pickup selector, there is plenty of flexibility for shaping your sound.

The 2002 Korean manufacture is an important part of this guitar's appeal. Epiphone produced a large number of instruments in Korea during this period, and these guitars have become popular on the used market thanks to their solid construction, traditional specifications and classic appearance. For anyone looking for an older G-400 rather than a current-production model, this example offers the opportunity to own a genuine early-2000s Epiphone SG at an attractive price point.

The SG G-400 is also a great choice for players who want a guitar that feels equally at home plugged into a clean amplifier or pushed into heavier overdrive and distortion. Its humbucker configuration provides plenty of output and sustain, making it well suited to classic rock, hard rock, blues and heavier styles, while the separate tone controls allow you to take some of the edge off the sound when a warmer character is required. The fast-feeling neck and unrestricted access to the higher frets further add to the guitar's appeal for lead players.

As a 2002 example, this guitar also has the character and appeal that comes with an instrument that has been around for over two decades. Korean-made Epiphones from this era are increasingly sought after by players looking for older alternatives to modern production models, particularly when they offer the combination of traditional styling, solid construction and classic finishes found here. Finished in the unmistakable Cherry colour, this G-400 looks every bit the part and would make a fantastic addition to any collection or an excellent everyday guitar for someone wanting an authentic SG-style instrument.

Whether you're looking for an affordable classic-rock workhorse, a versatile guitar for blues and rock, or simply a great-looking older Epiphone to add to your collection, this 2002 Epiphone SG G-400 has plenty to offer. The combination of its iconic SG styling, Cherry finish, dual-humbucker setup and Korean manufacture makes it a particularly appealing example of one of Epiphone's most enduring electric guitar models.
