used Epiphone G-400 Goth SG-- worth picking up?

[appar111]

Got a chance to pick up a used Epiphone Goth SG, used with some dings and wear, for $180. Is this one worth picking up? Seems to play really well, pickups don't sound bad, but eventually I'd upgrade those. Has the black Grover tuners on it, black hardware, and I think it's mahogany?

Anyway, thought I'd check in w/ the gurus here to see if it was worth snagging.

They go for $300+ new, so $180's good if it's in decent shape. Upgrade the PU's and it'll sound pretty nice.

Talk him down to $150, and dont forget to call him "Bozo" after you're done trading.

This. I’m calling a lot of people “Bozo” now. It’s like my new thing.

that price is really good. usually you see affinity squiers and stuff going for that price new.. if i wanted a super affordable axe and saw this I'd go for this over other "budget" guitars.
