I have never played either of these models, (though I do have a Gibson Les paul studio), but I am pretty sure that the models you are considering are around equal in quality to each other. It then comes down to Les Paul vs. SG. This remains an unanswered question that has to be answered by your personal preference in Guitars.

The les paul has a heavier, better, full, rich rhythm sound than the SG. The SG is great for soloing, has a brighter sound, ok rhythm lower end. Les Paul is heavier than the SG. If you like switching pickups during a solo, then you may want to go SG, because of the closer placement of the pickup selector. The SG also has better high fret access. (in my opinion, the les paul looks cooler, but you may disagree.)

Take these into consideration before making your choice. I can't "tell" you what guitar is better, you have to decide on preference.

One last note: Base your descicion on your other guitars also. As mentioned above, the les paul has a great rich rhythym sound, and the sg a great brighter treble sound. If you have another guitar, buy the opposite of what that guitar sounds, so that you can have a wider range of sounds.

Good Luck! :)

What is generally good about Epiphone guitars?

Well, for one there super cheap. Secondly, they tend to play about as good as a Gibson, compairing the Standard Gibson with the Epiphone, and thirdly, they sound good with pretty much any amp, they can be used for almost any type of music, and are quite a bit lighter, weight wise, than a gibson. From a personal standpoint, I have a couple guitars, and one of them is the Epiphone Les Paul Special II, Another is the Dean Vendetta Camo, I play them on a Line6 spider III, and the Epiphone has more tone for metal, the epiphone has more tone for solos, the epiphone sounds better on the clean channel, (but only when play rythm) and it looks alot better than the Dean, now I know there are some differences between the two, but I do preffer the Epiphone over the Dean, however to be fair, I will say this, the Dean has a MUCH faster neck than the Epiphone, and the Dean's all (even the cheapest, most crapy playing) have 24 fretts to Epiphone's (all that I know of) 22 frets. I am going to turn the Dean guitar in for Epiphone Standard Les Paul, but first I will change the pickups in the epiphone for Gibsons, just for Giggles. And I'll update when I do.


You want a g400 or a les paul which one should you get?

Well, it all depends on WHICH les paul. Epiphone makes a few models of them varying in price. Given at the same price range, I'd go with the les paul because it has more of a varience of genre's it can play. However, if your going to be playing metal, rock, alternative, you might consider the g400 (SG looking model). Neither of these would be my first choice in this price range, check out the Paul Reed Smith SE Custom 22 Electric Guitar. Its going to give a better sound for about 30 more $.
