Aggressive crunch. Snarling bite. Ferocious attitudes. There's a bevvy of tones the Epiphone SG Standard 61' w/ Maestro Vibrola is capable of voicing. In a true vintage meets modern fashion, the Standard 61' is every bit as fierce as the original legend. Fitted with two Probucker pickups, you're sure to get a bite that's just as strong as its bark. So, get ready to let your tone off the leash!
Both humbuckers work together to bring you tight, responsive low end, glassy, screaming highs, and everything in between. And what's more, you've got full tonal control through a three-way pickup selector, tone, and volume pots. Through these you have all the tools you need to dial in the ultimate guitar sound. Whether you love to lay down licks or prefer to keep the rhythm, the SG has got you covered.
The Guitar that shaped classic rock and metal
An iconic design. The SG was forged from fire and brimstone. With its signature double pointed cutaways, you'd be forgiven for thinking this guitar has the horns of the Devil. But don't be intimidated by its devastating good looks. The Epiphone SG Standard is smooth to the touch, fitting snugly in your hands with its contoured curves. Crafted from solid mahogany, this is an axe that resonates with the full force of both pickups.
Go from 0 – 100 on a slim taper neck that helps players shred even faster. Whether you're riffing up high or chugging down low, you'll always find it easy to play your riffs. No strain. No hard work. No problem.
The SG is the ultimate partner in crime for seasoned slayers and total beginners alike. Every note is accessible thanks to a 24.75" scale length and 12" fingerboard radius. But it's the Indian Laurel fretboard that's the SG's true secret weapon. Alongside effortless playability, this impressive tonewood resonates with crunchy sustain. Rock and metal just got a new hero.
