Epiphone SG Standard, Cherry Overview
The Epiphone SG Standard is a homage to one of the most celebrated and recognisable guitars in the world. Part of the "Inspired by Gibson" range, it presents the same guitar used by countless rock titans in all its original authenticity - just without the associated price tag! Loaded with Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers, you can expect the same vintage roars heard on many iconic songs, with meaty and chunky voicings and a classic "PAF"-like character.
On the playing side, a '60s SlimTaper neck profile allows for speedy transitions around the registers for quick leads or chord changes, while the medium jumbo-sized frets allow for smooth string bends. On top of that, Epiphone brings a touch of modern reliability with a Graph Tech NuBone nut to keep string action clean and Deluxe tuners for quick and precise tuning action. If you're a fan of the classic SG, the Epiphone Standard brings you just that in the most accessible package ever.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionPro tone
Each of the Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers loaded into this guitar shines with sonic beauty. The bridge pickup is tight and powerful, offering a high output for sharp crunch and plenty of volume. It's got the characteristics of a 50s pickup mixed with modern tone and definition. The neck humbucker is equally impressive, offering a warmer sound which is both fat and super clear. It's great for bringing out the full potential of lead licks, and giving them a full, saturated voicing. With these dynamic pickups, you'll be able to take on any genre of your choosing.
Exceptional manoeuvrability
It plays perfectly. The mahogany neck is made to a '60s SlimTaper profile, so you can be sure that it provides your hand with the ultimate comfort and manoeuvrability. Tonally, it is warm, helping give your notes a smoothness and richness which complements virtually any style of music. Then there's the Indian laurel fretboard, which is also incredibly playable, offering decent note sustain and a sleekness of its own. You'll be skimming along each fret like a bird, giving you the freedom to improvise in your own style.
Stage worthy hardware
Gleaming nickel. It makes up the hardware on this finely crafted model. The LockTone ABR bridge and stopbar tailpiece help to keep your strings stable and in tune – they'll be locked in place. They're complemented by high-quality Epiphone Deluxe tuners, which offer tight tuning stability and string support. With the iconic SG body shape, you'll be embracing your inner rock star within you when you hold this exceptional guitar– it will inspire you.
