Epiphone 1961 Les Paul SG Standard, With Hard Case, Aged 60s Cherry

In 1961, with the original Les Paul body shape on hiatus, Gibson went back to the drawing board only to strike gold yet again with a new design the SG, or, “solid guitar.” With love from countless players and a couple decades gone by, the rest is history. Today, the devil horns never looked so sweet.

This Epiphone creation was crafted in collaboration with the Gibson Custom Shop to ensure absolute authenticity on every front. From the “Inspired by Gibson” collection, this guitar rolls out with all the unmistakable features that are now unbeatably iconic. A two-piece solid mahogany body and one-piece mahogany neck come together for that light and speedy playing experience for which the SG has since become famous. Two Gibson BurstBucker pickups are loaded into the solid body with CTS potentiometers and Mallory capacitors for precise tonal recreation. Bust out your best rock riffs, this SG is ready as ever.

Historically inspired but always prepared for any modern playing scenario, Epiphone Deluxe tuners and a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge ensure solid intonation while a vintage style hardshell case readies this SG for the road. Wherever you land with this instrument, the musicality and playing experience is unmatched.

Paying tribute to the “solid guitar” that started it all, this Epiphone recreation has all the rich tonality and aesthetic attitude that made it famous an SG as you’ve always known.
