went to GC to try out some of the new G400 Pros

[eS.G.]

I love the way his "issues" sounded lol

 

[JohnnyGoo]

lol no kiddin.

 

[DrBGood]

But he had all sorts of issues with his intonation eS.G.

Didn't sound all that bad for it

 

[Bettyboo]

Think how amazing he would have been if somebody had made him a proper lefthanded geetar!!!

 

[eS.G.]

Ya know Boo.........I THINK I was born left handed........but back in the "day" it was frowned upon to be leftie and my Grandmother forced me to use my right hand dominantly. Explains a lot of the psychotic behavior.

 

[Bettyboo]

^ we (ok, me/I...) will now call you JimeeS.G.

Now, more to the point, has the OP bought a nice G400 yet? If he's lefthanded then I'll sell him my G310 for $1000, but he'll have to pay the delivery charges.

 

[eS.G.]

YEah.....hey Pesky---what gives???? I might be talked outta the White Witch----but she's gonna cost ya----

You buy a git or what????? Just playing "G" tease???

I got mine in October last year. Absolutely love so much about it (good stock humbuckers, coil-tapping feature, beautiful white finish, etc.). Honestly I was pretty skeptical about a $300 Chinese guitar and would go play one at a local store every week for like 2 months before purchasing because I'd get home and think "There's no way it was that good". Now I wish I had one in every color! Played it every day since I got it!

The ONLY thing I'm not totally a fan of is the pickup selector in the middle position. The sound of both pickups together is very nice, but it's wired like a lot of Les Pauls so that in the middle position changing the volume on one pickup changes both of them (AKA the volumes are not independent in the middle position). Having never used a guitar wired like that before, it was odd to me at first but I thought I would live with it a bit and see if I got used to it or if there were certain advantages to this way. Having played it for several months like this, I prefer having independent volume controls and plan on making this simple change next week when I have a day off.

Looks very cool in white! $300, good buy!

Forgot to mention one of my favorite features of the G400...

It sounds great without plugging it in! Find that I'm practicing more and can play scales while watching a TV show and after everybody else is asleep.

 

[Bettyboo]

^ fully agree. Since I upgraded Betty, I've found meself playing 'acoustically' a lot and have generally increased my practice time. I haven't realized before, but a well set up SG with quality bits'n pieces seems to have a lovely natural sound with decent volume and excellent and musical sustain.
