My review of Epiphone SG Modern Figured Trans Black
It's a great guitar. Better than i expected. Very light and the sound is just good. I would prefer this guitar for all who are looking for something new in the old models. And the finish is just ... Amazing!

incredible specs for price - needs adjustments out of the box
I love how long the neck is with 24 frets. The guitar came with a very high actin and the intonation was also bad, but I suspect this is often the case with international shippings - especially taking it into account the that guitar travels tuned down in a box for days. I need to adjust the neck relief, but there was no hex-wrench in the box. :( I tried adjusting the action and intonation, but there's still a but more relief the neck needs so I'm taking it to a guitar technician.
Overall the locking tuners are great, I like the sound of the pickups too, and there's tons of tone variation with the coil tap and phase switch options. The nut is a bit high and my F is a bit sharp.
I absolutely fell in love with the finish, but be advised it looks a darker brown-greyish brown in regular sunlight not as woody as on the photos.
UPDATE: so I took it to my guitar technician and some of the frets were VERY unleveled, I'm unsure if it was only mine or is it true for the whole series. It didn't cost an awful lot to fix it, but hey, my Emperor Swingster's frets very 90% ok from factory.. Still a very cool guitar though
