My first guitar, a Yamaha Pacifica was reasonable, but as i progressed i began to want a guitar that i could express myself with. Thats why i bought the beautiful cherry epiphone SG. It is far cheaper than the gibson version, costing around £300 first hand and about half that for second hand, but as it is made by the same company it almost rivals its partner in sound and playability.
The two Epi open coil Humbuckers produce a great sound, although an excellent amp will be needed to get the best sound possible.The guitar is "24.75" long, allowing for 22 frets, all easily reachable due to the unique shape of the guitar. The guitar takes most strings, which can be changed about for a more personal sound.
The guitar is easy to play for both lead and rythem guitarists, but has a very different syle to other guitars, such as fender. If you feel that you are more suited to fender type guitars, then get a stratocaster or telecaster, as they will be easier for you to play. The type of guitar you choose will determine your sound. If you want to sound like Jimi Hendrix, buy a fender, but if you want to sound like Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, buy an SG special
