We have an all girl band as subtenants in our rehearsal room now. One of the chicks plays an Epiphone SG Bully... of course I had to check it out...  Well, it seems to be absolutely similar to an SG Special, only the neck is different. It has a semi matte finish on the back and a different headstock displaying the logo of the discontinued Extreme series. Hey, this inexpensive thing plays nice and has an amazing sound for a guitar with a plywood body.  The neck is quite thick, never saw a neck profile like this on an SG before. The setup needs some maintenance, but I promised the girl to straighten things out. But all in all one of the best beginner´s guitars I laid my hands on. Nice!  |

thats the one ive got. it has a laminated maple top also.ilike the head stock. it has open coil pups. i cant get it to feed back at all. but i like the pups any way. mine is gloss black w a clear maple neck. it plays very well. it is my back up guitar so to speak. i play it some times at the first of a gig. the thing never goes out of tune. very dependable axe. $140 from a pawn shop. very solid, good tone believe it or not.

I believe it! Her´s is winered with a matte clear maple neck. Yes, the pickups, I played it at an insane volume level to check if the pickups are microphonic, but nope... no squealing feedback. The girls just started making music with a complete band. When I remember the crappy guitar I had back in the day I wish I had such a Bully. This is by far more than a beginners guitar. Like you pointed it out: even a nice and inexpensive backup guitar for a gigging musician. Very reliable. |

I bet it would get a nice reaction from a hard rock audience too  |

Well, this girl hardly plays her Bully, she is just singing in this band and the guitar stands in our rehearsal room with sad eyes...  The other chick plays a Strat copy, so I thought I might purchase this lovely but cheap SG from her... what do you think guys? The guitar is in good condition, just recently I restringed it, lol, I could not stand the fact that the strings were that dead like they were. I guess the chick completely lost interest in guitar playing, so at least I grab up that Bully from time to time... and the girl is in need for money! Hmmm!  |
