From the new Inspired by Gibson Collection, the Epiphone SG Custom is a recreation of the legendary 1960s-era Gibson SG. Now available at Guitar Center, the Epiphone SG Custom features a classic mahogany body and neck, LP Custom-style inlays and a pair of Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers. Rounded out by a bound ebony fingerboard, fast, comfortable SlimTaper neck and gold hardware, the Epiphone SG Standard will take your sound to new heights, while taking you back in time to the influential years of this legendary solidbody electric guitar.

Epiphone SG Custom Main Features

  • Mahogany body with white neck binding and split diamond headstock binding
  • 24.75" scale SlimTaper mahogany neck with 22-fret, 12" radius ebony fingerboard
  • Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers, CTS electronics and 3-way switch
  • LockTone tune-o-matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece, Epiphone Deluxe tuning machines with ivory plastic buttons and Graph Tech nut


Iconic Shape Paired with Classic Tonewood

The Epiphone SG Custom is just as impressive to look at as it is to play, with its iconic sculpted double-horned body. When combined with a pair of Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers, its lightweight mahogany construction delivers the warm tone that Guitar Center customers crave. It's complete with the Les Paul Custom-style binding that became a hard rock and heavy metal classic.

Sleek and Snappy SlimTaper Neck

Providing players with supreme playability is the Epiphone SG Custom's SlimTaper mahogany neck. Completing the neck design is a 22-fret ebony fingerboard and Les Paul Custom-style pearloid block inlays. Some of the more distinctive specifications include the updated headstock shape, which takes inspiration from Gibson's classic Kalamazoo headstock shape.

Powerful Alnico Classic PRO Humbuckers

Giving the Epiphone SG Custom the powerful punch and tonal output you'd expect from a classic electric guitar is the pair of Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers with CTS electronics. Whether you're playing rhythm or are a solo machine, the Epiphone SG Custom is the perfect axe for any stage.

Epiphone SG Custom Hardware

The Epiphone SG Custom also features the classic pairing of a LockTone ABR tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece for ultimate tuning stability and added resonance. Epiphone Deluxe tuners with ivory plastic buttons provide players with precise tuning that ensures the tone you're putting out is exactly how you want it to sound. Finishing off the premium hardware for an elegant look is gold hardware.

Other specifications include black top hat with insert knobs, Graph Tech nut, pearloid block inlays and medium-jumbo frets.
