Epiphone SG Standard Electric Guitar Alpine White Finish

It seems hard to believe but in the early 1960s, the Kalamazoo factory, home to both Epiphone and Gibson instruments, decided to cease production of the Les Paul guitar. In its place came a radical new guitar design initially called also called the Les Paul but changed to SG not long after. With the Les Paul (temporarily) out of the picture, the SG took over.

The Epiphone SG Standard from the new Inspired by Gibson Collection recreates the legendary 1960s classic that ignited the passions and stirred the souls of some of rock’s most revered players including The Who’s Pete Townsend, Mahogany Rush’s Frank Marino, Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi, The Door’s Robby Krieger, the Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia, Frank Zappa, Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana and more.

This superb guitar features the historic SG profile with “batwing” pickguard in Alpine White gloss lacquer and it looks amazing. Powered by pair of Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers with CTS electronics and world class Grover Rotomatic tuners, this guitar has been made to be played.
