NGD - Epi G-400 Deluxe

I picked one of these up the other day in a trade. I traded a Jet City 20 head and my old 4x12 cab loaded with Celestion G12M-70s. I hadn't used either one in over a year, as I am a certified Orange fan boy these days.

It plays nicely and has a great, chunky neck. This is a stock photo, but mine is the same.

Nice!

Just wondering, if Deluxe in the Gibson range means minihums, what does it mean in the Epiphone range?

I picked up a pair of Gibson Burstbucker Pros for $125 the other day, and plan on installing them in this guitar as soon as i get some screws and springs. Lots of people complain that they have to much high end, but I'd rather have highs I can tame than to not have enough. The pickups in it now are going into my other Epi SG. Pretty stoked to say the least.

The pickup swap is done. I have just finished wiring pickups into my first two guitars, and it went fairly smoothly for a first-timer! This guitar got a pair of Burstbucker PROs

and the pickups from this went into my first year (1989) G-400.

Happy to report that both guitars now sound better, and I have a new skill.
