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.35% — 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.
This entry's name pairs the Ibanez brand with Stratocaster, a model name that belongs to Fender and has been a Fender trademark for decades, making the combination internally inconsistent rather than a documented product Ibanez has ever sold under that name. Ibanez's own catalog uses entirely different model families for its double-cutaway electrics, such as the RG, S, and AZ series, none of which are marketed as a Stratocaster. It's plausible this listing title conflates an Ibanez-brand guitar with a Strat-style body shape, or mislabels a genuinely Fender instrument, but without a listing URL or additional identifying detail to check, which side of that inconsistency is accurate can't be confirmed here.
