    Three screws are used because in order to save money they route a continuous channel down the neck for the truss rod to be embedded. They do not leave a piece of wood separating the truss rod route from the truss rod nut which is desirable in order to stabilize the Gibson neck. Gibson does this and Epiphone does not...so there is no wood for the bottom Gibson style screw on the cover to be screwed into. Epiphone has to use three screws (two at the bottom to be able to screw into the neck. By sidestepping the open space left by Epiphone.

    This is not an accurate test. Anyone can tell you that paint color has an immense impact on tone. I mean seriously, the iommi sig sounds so much brighter as all the light is being absorbed into the guitar. Not only that, but how could u guys not realize that one has a smaller pickguard than the other? The added plywood enhances the bass frequency response as their is more total wood as well as enhancing the sustain. Anyone who can't hear these differences or claims that they make no difference are clearly trolls. Pay no heed to them.

    Oh dear me, how could I forget the inlays??? The dot inlays allows better spacing when playing staccato by narrowing the frequency range by lessening the highs and lows, hence the circles whereas the crosses lower the mid frequency on your amp as the arm is closer to the "bass" string on the guitar. Don't let anyone tell you anything about tone woods or pickup covers

Gibson always uses better wood grades no matter what the price range of the guitar. So they will always be slightly superior no matter the price range. I'm sure you already new that. BTW. Chapman Guitars are awesome. Love what you are doing.

    Notwithstanding the dill and sausage detour, I enjoyed the video. I own a Faded SG very similar to the one used, and I was happy to see it tested in this way. 7 seconds of sustain on the Gibson versus 3.5 seconds on the Epiphone was the most telling moment for me. The extended comparison on the D chord was also interesting -- clearly, the pickups on the Gibson were brighter and had more chime than those on the Epiphone (although both had Gibson pickups). One problem I have with my Faded SG, which I don't with my SG Standard, is significant neck dive. It would have been useful, I think, to have considered that issue when comparing the 2 guitars in this video. Nice video, though. I always enjoy them, even with the dill and sausage.

    The Iommi SG is pretty much a G400 with a set of Gibson Iommi pups. I own both a black G400 Pro and a Gibson SG Special and the Gibson has deeper cuts and bevels, true to the classic SG shape and the G400 doesn't. It honestly feels more like a cross between a SG and a Tele. The Gibson SG needed a new nut and some fret work before it was a great playing guitar, while the G400 Pro was great out of the box. The G400 just doesn't feel as high quality. It's thicker and bulkier than the Gibson, but yet it's lighter in weight, which makes me question the grade or type of mahogany hidden under the black paint. Gibson wins for feel and quality. Tone is subjective to whatever pickups are in it. The stock Gibson 490s are way brighter than an Iommi set, which are dark and brooding on purpose.
