Electric Guitar · United States / China · Introduced 2019
The Epiphone SG Standard '61 honors the historic 1961 vintage classic that replaced the original single-cutaway Les Paul, offering lightweight symmetrical double-cutaway comfort, blazing upper-fret access, and fiery vintage-voiced output. Built with a solid mahogany body featuring deep beveling and historical styling, this guitar delivers rich harmonic warmth and stinging midrange bite. The SlimTaper mahogany neck paired with an Indian laurel fingerboard offers a fast, comfortable grip favored by classic rock and hard rock lead guitarists. Sonically, it is powered by Epiphone ProBucker-2 and ProBucker-3 humbucking pickups wired with CTS electronics, producing creamy overdrive tones, woody cleans, and searing sustain. Complete with an Epiphone LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Vintage Deluxe tuners, it is an exceptional tribute instrument.
