I just recently purchased a second hand Epiphone SG. The reason I went the SG route was due to reading through the pages of the modification community. Seems that the SG is one hell of a popular guitar to mod. So why is this?

First off... I got the Epiphone G-400 SG. Yes I know, not the greatest guitar on the planet. But really? Is it all that bad? First time I picked the thing up I was immediately impressed with its play-ability and unplugged tone. This thing really resonates! The one I bought is about 7 years old and has been kept in its case and according to the  guy I bought it from (A friend by the way) Its never really been used. I have no reason not to believe him. The guitar is in very good condition. It looks brand new! And plays beautifully. There is a little buzz around the 19th on the hi E. Apparently this is more common than expected and a new bridge/neck setup is going to be needed to get things where I want them.
