Epiphone SG Special (Cherry) Overview

The Epiphone SG Special is an incredible way to get real SG tone and styling without breaking the bank. In 1961, the original Les Paul shape was redesigned into a light, double-cutaway design. That new design soon became known as the "SG" and now, along with the original Les Paul, is the iconic "rock" guitar. Epiphone's G-400 and G-310 SG models have been best sellers in the guitar market for over 15 years featuring the carved SG-body shape at a "workingman's price. In the summer of 1999, Epiphone introduced the SG-Special making it the most affordable SG on the market today.

This guitar, with it's devilish double-cutaway design, reigns supreme in access to all of it's 22 frets. It's bolt-on Hard Maple neck provides rigidity and durability while it's "SlimTaper" neck profile with Rosewood fingerboard make it comfortable and easy to play. A pair of hot open-coil, noise-free Humbucking pickups voiced specifically of the bridge position (700T) and neck position (650R) give you authentic rock tone with just the right amount of grit and growl.

Even though the SG-Special is the most affordable SG in the line-up, it still features Epiphone's patented LockToneGäó locking Tune-o-matic bridge and Stop-bar tailpiece for increased sustain and ease in string changing.
