Epi G-400 with p90? Yea or Nay?

Post by Viljami »

What says Shortscale?

Basically I just want a guitar with p90's so bad, and the SG's look nice with them. Any pup recommendations?

I just got a epi G400 with EMGs and while I really love the way the guitar plays . . . I am not a fan of EMGs so I think I'll be replacing them with some of the GFS P90 sized humbuckers.

I may also sell it soon. I just don't see myself playing an SG consistently.

While I'm not interested in your Les Paul I would be willing to work out a partial trade for one of your other guitars. Or just sell you to you cheap.

Maybe a picture will help with things :lol:

I'm confused. There is nothing gold on that guitar.

I have an H size P90 in the neck of my Epi g-400. GFS Mean 90. It's a great pickup.

Sounds lush. Haven't tried p90 in bridge yet but I'm building a Jr so we'll see.
