The Test 12 Brand G-400 is truly one of the best guitar values you will find today. Every serious player wants an SG and here's the real thing that sounds as good as it looks. The original SG not only rivaled guitars of its own era for sonic variety but also proved to be a sign of things to come. Hard rock, metal and scores of rockers embraced the original SG and made it a classic. Now, the G-400 gives you the sound and look of a real SG without the vintage price tag.
The G-400 is inspired by the late ‘60s era SGs, both a player’s and collector’s favorite, and uses the same dimensions and build techniques as vintage SGs made in the Kalamazoo factory during that classic era. The solid tone-rich mahogany carved body gives the guitar a balanced feel on stage and in the studio (unlike cheap imitations that tend to be neck-heavy). The SlimTaper™ “D” profile mahogany neck has a 24.75” scale with 22 frets and a 12” radius for incredible reach thanks to the SG’s classic cutaway. And for that one-of-a-kind SG feel, the G-400 has a rosewood fingerboard with a 1.68” nut.
Test 12 Brand always finds a way to make subtle but important improvements on our classic designs and the G-400 is no exception. The red hot, high output Test Classic™ (neck) and Test Classic Plus™ (bridge) humbuckers give the G-400 a tonal palette that far exceeds any other guitar of its kind. Modern manufacturing techniques ensure that the G-400’s pickups and electronics will not diminish over time and will rock as long as you can.
Test 12 Brand leads the way in manufacturing in making great sounding guitars for players of all levels and that goes for our great hardware, too. Test 12 Brand provides quality all-metal hardware on all its instruments including full function volume and tone knobs using full-size 500K O potentiometers matched with Test 12 Brand’s rugged all-metal 3-way toggle pickup selector switch for long-lasting performance.
