How much is a gibson sg classic with P-90 pickups worth?
Mar 01, 2009 by guitargodintraining13 | Posted in Other - Music
I bought this guitar for $1000 and it was discontinued. Gibson no longer makes SG's with P-90's no matter the price. I have had it for around 9 months and was wondering, how much is it worth now?
I havent seen them on ebay at all, either
I would check ebay and see what people are bidding on them. After all, the true "worth" of anything is only as much as someone is willing to actually pay for it.

Is there any difference(other than cost) between a Gibson SG Classic and the Epiphone(standard) copy?

i saw the price in the Guitar Center magazine, and i want a second opinion on it. Thanks.
First of all, let me tell you that I have an Epiphone SG G400, which is one of the best guitars Epiphone makes and probably the best SG they make. It's my first and only guitar, it looks awesome, sounds awesome, and I absolutely love it.
I've played a Gibson SG in Guitar Center, and I honestly didn't see much difference. The body and physical characteristics are 99% the same as the Epiphone. The pickups are a little better since it's a Gibson, but I couldn't find anything that was breath-taking. Since the Gibson SG is at least a $1000 (depending on where you buy it), and my Epiphone SG G400 was only $350, I obviously walked out of Guitar Center ready to buy an Epiphone.
I actually got mine a day later on eBay for $307, which is like $40 cheaper. And by the way, the cherry finish looks awesome; get it rather than the black. Overall, I recommend the Epiphone SG over the Gibson SG. If money is no factor, than get the Gibson. But if you don't feel like paying $1000 more for something that isn't much better, than get the Epiphone. But make sure if you buy an Epiphone that you get the G400, the "Special" and "G-310" are nothing compared to the 400.
Just remember, it's your decision, not mine, and make sure to go to Guitar Center to play both so you can find the right one for you.
Hope this helps!
