Someone gave me an LP Special II and it's a super fun guitar that I've used as a mod project.
I don't know how the SG Special I compares, but it looks just as fun!

The tuners on these are pretty bad and would be the first thing I'd upgrade.

It kind of is. If you squint hard enough, you can make it out on the headstock.

It's a $130 guitar. Really, I've nothing against the clipped Epiphone headstock, but it seems to cause a visceral rejection from some.

Great guitar for the money from a brand name company. Easy to upgrade the pickups ans tuners later on if you want to mod it. At this price it's slick

Looks like they ran out of the Epiphone SG and swapped in "Gretsch Guitars G5237 Electromatic Double Jet FT" for the Stupid Deal of the Day.
