Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.48% — somewhat different

The Epiphone G-400 is the SG built to the 1962 specification rather than the current Gibson one: full mahogany body and neck, 24.75-inch scale, two humbuckers, and the small pickguard of the early period. The thin flat body and deep double cutaway give the same light weight and upper-fret access as the Gibson, with the whole neck reachable.
The Ibanez Iceman, launched in 1975, was one of the first original body shapes from a Japanese maker rather than a copy — an asymmetric outline with a long lower horn and a sharply cut treble side. Paul Stanley played one through Kiss's peak years, and the shape has been reissued repeatedly since, usually with humbuckers and a set neck.
