Electric Guitar · United States / China · Introduced 2020
The Epiphone SG Standard faithfully recreates the legendary 1961 Gibson solid-body classic that completely redefined rock guitar history with its devilish dual-horn cutaways and blistering high-output attitude. Constructed entirely from solid mahogany with a tapered body thickness, the SG offers an exceptionally lightweight playing experience while delivering a bright, fast, and intensely punchy midrange bark that cuts straight through heavy guitar mixes. The neck is carved into a comfortable 1960s SlimTaper profile paired with an Indian laurel fretboard, giving players frictionless access all the way up to the 22nd fret without any physical obstruction. Powered by a pair of Epiphone Alnico Classic PRO humbucking pickups wired with CTS electronics, this guitar produces thick, singing overdriven tones and crisp rhythm chording that channel the spirit of iconic rock legends. Its LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece enhance sustain and make string changes effortless. It is the premier choice for aspiring rock musicians and intermediate players who want legendary tone, striking aesthetics, and maximum upper-fret accessibility.
