The SG Standard–the choice of legends

Part of the Inspired by Gibson Collection, the Epiphone SG Standard has been refreshed and is better than ever. The legendary SG™ has long been a favorite of musicians across genres. From Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Eric Clapton, and George Harrison to Robbie Krieger, Angus Young, Tony Iommi, and countless others, the SG has been played by many of the most beloved guitarists in history.

The Epiphone SG Standard features a contoured, double-cutaway mahogany body, providing unimpeded access to all 22 frets. The glued-in mahogany neck adds to the model’s renowned sustain. The neck has a fast-playing SlimTaper™ C profile and is capped with a bound rosewood fretboard, equipped with 22 medium jumbo frets, and adorned with pearloid trapezoid inlays. The fretboard’s 12” radius makes playing first-position chords easy while ensuring that string bends don’t fret out when you play them. High-quality Grover® Rotomatic® tuning machines and a Graph Tech™ nut, paired with a fully adjustable Epiphone LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece, work together to maintain rock-solid tuning stability and intonation.

The Epiphone SG Standard is equipped with a pair of Epiphone’s acclaimed ProBucker™ humbucking pickups that deliver all of the vintage-approved SG tones you could ask for. A ProBucker™ 2 humbucker™ is in the neck position, and a slightly hotter ProBucker 3 is installed in the bridge position. Each of the pickups is wired to its own individual volume and tone controls, along with a three-way toggle pickup selector switch, which lets you use either pickup alone or combine them in whatever ratio suits your mood and muse. The Epiphone SG Standard is sure to turn heads and will impress players and fans alike. It comes complete with a premium gig bag to help keep it safe when traveling.
