Which SG Special Would You Buy? - Gibson, Epiphone, and Gibson Custom Shop Models Compared!

The release this week of Tony Iommi's Signature Epiphone provided the inspiration for this 'side by side' comparison of our three SG Specials... we pitch the $449 Epiphone against $1499 and $3599 Gibson models and ask the question which one would you buy?

I AM NOT AN EXPERT. Some things I do know and some things I don't know but think I know and sometimes I say things that are not entirely correct. Once I have said things it's too late to correct them so please check any 'so called facts' with an adult, google, wikipedia, or someone else that knows.
