gibson maestro sg

Which guitar should I pick???
ok, i want 1 of these 3 guitar i dunno wich one to pick >>
a $1500 Gibson SG-3 (best sound)
a $600 epiphone g-400 with gold maestro(really good sound and limited)
a $350 epiphone g-400(O.K. sound, preet good, but not the best)
so have any of yall had experience with them?
gold maestro all the way
has a good quality sound and with the money you save over the sg-3 you buy equipment to make it even better such as a marshall amp and maybe some effects pedals.
