Yup.... I couldn't "HEP" myself.
A while back I saw a STOOPID Deal of the day for $199 for an Epi Valve Jr and an Epi G-310 SG Black and I well
Couldn't......control.... the..... (Hmmmmppffffff)....... G-A-S!!! :oops: :oops:
Sort of a Birthday present to myself, along with a 19" widescreen lcd monitor for my 'puter system.
It came the other day and I'll tell ya what, this thing is a ROCKET!!
And I love this SG too.
The Amp is only 5 watts, but its a TOOB!!! :) The speaker needs some serious break in but I'll have fun annoying the neighbor's cats for a few days. I'm very very impressed with this 'lil-thing'.
The SG is a great buy as well. Yeah its a ply-wood body and bolt-on neck and the frets need some work. I had to set it up a little better, but right out of the box the action was not bad at all. I really like the sound of this guitar, in all my amps and my GT-8 too :) Its crafted well and for the $$$ its a perfect gem. Also if I bang on it or rough it up a little bit I won't feel so bad, even though I take very good care of my equipment.
The other bits that came with the 'starter-pack' are fine, the strap is leather and I think its a keeper. The gig bag is very nice and comes with those 'back-pack' straps.
Anyhoo I thought I'd share, if you see another one of these Epi Starter Packs go on sale with the Valve Jr... jump on it. Its a great buy!!! :)

Congrats! I've never messed with that amp, but I always hear positive things about it. The cheap SG is quite a surprise, eh? I was shocked last year when I was test driving amps. Grabbed one off the wall and it played really well.

I've had my Epi Valve Jr head for awhile now & LOVE it! 8) I made a cab for it out of a broken Fender parctice amp I had that has a good 12" speaker in it.
Enjoy my friend! :D
