Description

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” which is now–along with the original–Les Paul, 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 and SG sound at a “workingman’s” price. Now comes the SG Special, the most affordable SG on the market today with all the features that you’ve come to expect from Epiphone!
