        I’m a lucky guy. My wife want’s to offer me another guitar soon (medium price) and as I have a Strat’s looking guitar already, I’d like to get a Gibson style this time, but I’m getting stuck with 3 guitars:

        1 : TOKAI SG 43 CHERRY LTD EDITION (Gibson SG copy)
        2 : EPIHON G400 CHERRY (Gibson SG copy)
        3 : WASHBURN Idol WI64.

        Some buddies told me that Tokay was far better than Epiphon but I can say if it’s true.
        Washburn seems to be the best, but I’m not sure.

        If a “guitar pro” could help me, it would be fine.
        thank’s
        Regards
        Patrick

          Hey psour given the choice of the three I’d go with the Epiphone G400 – I’ve always been partial to Epiphone though… They make some great guitars for the price. If you wanted to kick in an extra $200 you could get an actual Gibson SG (the special faded edition) – I have one of them and it’s a great playing / sounding guitar.

            +1…..although those Tokia’s are nice guitars.

            I’ve got 2 Epi LP’s. Upgraded pups in them and love em.

            Some say the SG style takes a little getting used to the “unbalanced” feeling. No personal experience.

            I just purchased a Fender strat…..I’ll comment you may find the LP style a little different in playability.

            A strat is much easier to “play” than the LP. (to me anyway)

              Thank’s for your help 🙂
              In fact I went to my fave guitar shop an tried those 3 guitars, and …. I fell in love with a SQUIER Classic Vibe Telecaster Custom.
              She is really beautifull and her sound is terrific.
              I’m in love 🙂
