Left-handed Epiphone G400 SG electric guitar (set neck, Grover tuners, etc) | eBay This is the better set neck SG model produced by Epiphone with Grover tuners and a great sound. It's left-handed. Back story: I bought it - years ago in a sad state. Refinish: Most of the cuts were shallow on the face of the body.

Left-handed "Ex-Girlfriend Rage" Epiphone G400 SG ... rescued and refinished. Plays lovely! Anyone interested? If so, message me. This could save me the time sorting a full website and ebay listing. Will be £150 plus p&p. Great Britain only.
This is the better set neck SG produced by Epiphone. I bought it 5-6 years ago. The previous owner had obviously upset his Ex, who inflicted a series of furious cuts on the guitar. Fortunately, she left the neck completely intact!
Most of the cuts were shallow on the face of the body. So I removed the red finish, took back to the wood and stained. The back and sides are still red.
I also added cream plastics around the place to give her a retro vibe.
I think it looks OK. Not perfect and some deeper knife slices are still evident in the curves of the horns. This is cosmetic though. Lighter scratches on the back.
She plays nicely and has a unqiue, old-school vibe.
I love SGs! This one has Grover tuners too. An Epi Les Paul Standard pickup in the bridge (the old pup stopped working).
Interested? Let me know before it goes on the website and eBay. Thanks for your interest :)

Just popped this on eBay, starting at £50. Not perfect by any means but looks great and super, super cheap :)
