User questions & answers

Question:	What's the diference about this one and the $259 Epiphone
Answer:	Probably the size and quality of the amp. Double check, but I think the $259 version has a 15 watt amp.
Question:	Will this work with the rocksmith 2014 cable
Answer:	Yes, works perfectly.
Question:	does come with the big box like in the photo
Answer:	Yes, it all comes in the big box in the photo
Question:	Is the guitar in this package the same as "Epiphone LP Special II Les Paul Electric Guitar" which retails for $169 right here on amazon
Answer:	Yes, and this is a very good deal here, but currently there is an even better one somewhere else. I'm sure this won't last forever since the membership stores change inventory frequently, but currently one of the big box membership stores has this bundle for $199.99 with free shipping, but almost shockingly, it includes over 50 dollars worth of additional items including a 9 dollar set of extra strings, a 13 dollar guitar stand, a 6 dollar chord finder book, and a 25 dollar set of headphones with 3.5 and 6.5 mm plug adapter.

• 1960's SlimTaper Neck Profile

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this guitar have a pickup built in
Answer:	No built in pickup on this model.
Question:	what is the country of origin
Answer:	China
Question:	What does it mean by jumbo? Is it wider than a normal guitar
Answer:	The term 'Jumbo' usually refers to a particular guitar body style. This Epiphone FT-100 guitar would be considered to have a 'dreadnaught' body style. I have no idea why it's listed as 'Jumbo'. Jumbo style guitars have a bigger, slightly deeper body compared to dreadnaughts, with a bit narrower waist and, due to these characteristics, are a bit louder, and with more bass.
Question:	Can anybody explain me why the bridge is not parallel to the nut. imho that can never be tuned right
Answer:	This is a very basic explanation. On most acoustic guitars (in fact, none that I'm aware of), individual string intonation cannot be adjusted. Intonation is the accuracy of the fretted tones along the length of the fingerboard. If the bridge were positioned parallel to the nut, one string's intonation would be correct (hopefully) and the remaining strings would fret slightly sharp or flat, and getting progressively worse as you fret higher up the neck. Hope this helps.

Product description

Now you can enjoy the classic style and killer performance of the famous Epiphone SG-Special Electric Guitar without destroying your budget. Features include two open-coil humbuckers, LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece for more sustain and easier string changing, chrome hardware, and rosewood fingerboard. Limited lifetime warranty.

Now everyone can own a real SG shape! The SG Special from Epiphone features twin open-coil Humbucker pickups, the Tune-o-matic bridge/Stopbar tailpiece combo for maximum sustain and a fully-carved SG body for devilish good looks.

Devilish good looks.

Twin open-coil humbuckers and the industry-standard Tune-O-Matic bridge.

Rosewood fretboard with dot inlays.

Angled Headstock

Unlike cheaper designs, all Epiphones feature a 14-degree headstock that gives you more pressure at the nut and so you get more sustain with less tuning hang-ups caused by "string-tree" gadgets.

Double-Waxed Pickups

Epiphone utilizes a double vacuum waxing process that ensures optimum performance. The pickup is first placed in the specialized wax vacuuming system before the cover is put in place to ensure that the wax fully penetrates to the very center of the pickup and solidifies all parts. After the cover is placed on, it is again given a second vacuum wax bath until the unit is completely saturated with wax.

Output Jack

To increase reliability and ensure consistent performance, Epiphone's proprietary output jacks feature an improved contact shape and heavy-duty spring steel.

Toggle Switches

All Epiphones feature our all-metal, USA designed switches for reliable contact and longer life.

Tunomatic Bridge

Fully adjustable, the tunomatic remains a classic after over 50 years. Unlike guitars fitted with tremolos, there are no tuning or re-stringing difficulties. Plus, tone and sustain are improved because all string vibrations are transferred directly to the guitar.

Potentiometers

Epiphone is passionate about performance. That's why their instruments use one-inch diameter potentiometers for better "throw," longer life and reliable service.

Quick-Connectors

For unequalled reliability as well as ease of service, Epiphone wiring harnesses feature quick-connectors.

Answer:	Yes. The tone knob doubles as a kill switch. You press it down and hold.
Question:	Is this full size
Answer:	Yes, full size, 24 3/4" scale length.
Question:	can you put a wammy bar? how
Answer:	The Deusenberg Les Trem II replaces the stop bar and works very well. It comes with the appropriate metric studs and costs around $100.
Question:	How does this compare to epiphone les paul special ii
Answer:	The Epiphone SG Special, and Les Paul Special II have identical electronics, The main difference is the body style. The LP has a thicker depth, single cutaway, and is somewhat heavier, and the SG has a double cutaway thin body, that is lighter in weight, with better fret access. The tone is similar, due to the double coil, or "humbucker" pickups.

• Effortless Fretting - Epiphone JumboPRO frets make fretting notes and chords seem effortless. JumboPRO frets are taller and wider than smaller frets. So, when you push down a string, it’s easier to make string contact with the fret with less hand fatigue and finger friction.

• No pain, no gain? - Nonsense—Epiphone believes in “no pain.” Lighter gauge strings are easier to play so every PRO-1 is set-up and equipped with Epiphone Ultra-Light strings.

Epiphone SG-Special VE Electric Guitar

The new Epiphone SG-Special VE is a great way for new players to discover a rock classic at a price anyone can afford. Featuring Epiphone open-coil humbuckers with Ceramic Magnets and available in beautiful Vintage Worn finish.

Classic SG Styling

Lightweight yet powerful, the SG became a hard rock classic in the 1960s. The new SG-Special VE has the same iconic design with a Poplar body with a Mahogany veneer and a black pickguard. The bolt-on Mahogany neck has a 1960's SlimTaper D profile, a standard SG scale length of 24.75”, a fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays, and 22 medium jumbo frets.

Open Coil Humbuckers with Ceramic Magnets

Ceramic pickups have a higher output than vintage Alnico magnet pickups and are designed to provide a tight low-end response with both a smooth mid-range and a slightly more pronounced top end tone. The SG-Special VE has a 650R in the rhythm position and a slightly 'hotter' 700T in the lead position. Controls include a Master Volume and Master Tone with traditional black 'Speed' knobs and a 3-way pickup selector.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the binding real or painted on
Answer:	As far as I know it is real, AA Flame Maple top with a cherry Mahogany back. and a AAA MAPLE TOP, I got the kit two years ago great deal but the cord was crappy, called GUITAR CENTER and they sent me a real nice corded one for nothing, so if you have problems with it squelching, and cutting out it is more than likely the cord.
Question:	Looking at the price I think I know the answer but it says that it has a e-tune on the guitar is it the unit behind the tuners or does it make a sound
Answer:	The Epiphone Slash AFD is a guitar built in tuner.The tuner is installed in one of the picks.The tuner has the notes A, B, C D, E, F, G.You turn on the tuner and begin to play a string. With lights, the tuner will indicate you if the string is in tuned. I red light means the note is to low, the yellow light means it is too high. The green light means the string is in tuned.The tuner doesn't produce any sound. The player will tune the guitar with the tuner and its lights.Here you have a video that explains in more detail what I am trying to sayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fq6J6ufH9uk
Question:	It plays through the amplifier when the toggle is in the "Treble" position, but not in the middle or "Rhythm" position. Any idea why
Answer:	I never had this problem, but I would think it sounds like the Toggle switch may be bad. If you live in a city with a Guitar Center, or if you live where you bought it, take it back in so they can check it out. Possibly cord but I would be more inclined to think it is your Toggle Switch. hope this helped.
Question:	Is this pick up as same as duncan's alnico ii pro aph
Answer:	The pick-up in this guitar is a ceramic magnet humbucker that was based off of the alnico II's design, its similar, but definitely not the same
