General Comments

Hi. I much preferred the Gibson SG Special over a £1500 les paul that i played. This guitar sounds amazing with and without distortion. I haven't gigged properly yet with it as I have only been playin for 7 months and in a band for 2, it can be hard to find gigs but when I do it will be a walk in the park as it is so light (unlike the les paul). But what trips you up is the tuning, can be very annoying but when you get it right you will sound like a legend. I said no to "would I reccomend this to a friend" because I want to be the only one on my local music scene to have 1. :D
>br>If your an ACDC fan and you play a lot of ACDC then the chances are you will sound like angus!!! I do. :P

    What do you think the differences are between an epiphone G310 and a Gibson special
