i have had epiphones in the past aswell as les pauls,
i wasnt convinced if the sg gothic would live up to my expectations ! .... but then it arrived with my spider iv 75 amp.
the action on the fret board was very suprising !
light weight and extremely easy to play from metal to rock to mello clean tunes the action is superb for such a cheap guitar, gigged it twice now and it took over my black beauty epiphone which takes some doing !! great guitar and a great price too.
