I found one of these on sale for $99 and snagged it for my nephew. He was a bit too young to start playing at the time but I couldn't pass up the deal. This is a fine guitar for beginning guitarists. The action is not great, but it's comfortable and manageable enough for small fingers looking to build their first callus. It's not too heavy for 9 year old shoulders, either.
I would not recommend this guitar for anyone who has been playing for more than a couple of years. With guitars, you get what you pay for (to an extent) and on this one the price says it all. If you are looking for an excellently crafted guitar with great sustain and control this is not it. However, if you are looking for an instrument that a child can use as a learning tool (without breaking the bank should they decide to not pursue it) then there are worse options on the market.
PROS:
Playability for the price
Acceptable pickups
Lightweight
Comfortable-enough-for-beginners fingerboard
It looks good enough for a beginner to feel the "cool" factor
CON:
Put simply, this IS a cheap guitar. It does not feel or sound like a PRS or Gibson or even a mid-range Epiphone.Get more detail about Epiphone SG Special Electric Guitar, Cherry.
