A Rock Icon, Reimagined in the "Inspired by Gibson" Collection
Legendary since the 1960s, the SG shaped the sound of rock. The Epiphone SG Standard condenses this sharp visual identity and lightweight ergonomics with careful craftsmanship and modern electronics. It offers the aesthetics and feel of the historic model in an accessible version ready for both stage and studio.
Who Is It For and What Styles?
Perfect for ambitious beginner guitarists up to intermediate/advanced players, this electric guitar shines in rock, blues, hard rock, punk, and pop. The slim neck facilitates barre chords, fast riffs, and expressive bends, while the body balance and tuning stability make it a reliable tool for rehearsals, gigs, and recordings.
Sound
The combination of
set mahogany body/neck delivers warmth, present mids, and natural sustain. The
ProBucker 2 (neck) provides round cleans and smooth leads with great definition. The
ProBucker 3 (bridge), more biting, offers a tight grain ideal for punchy rhythms and impactful solos. The
two volumes and two tones paired with the
3-way selector switch allow you to shape the tonal color from vintage clean to dense overdrives while maintaining articulation and dynamics.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original tension and feel, choose
nickel electric strings 10-46 (or 9-42 for more flexibility), suitable for the 24.75" / 628.65 mm scale length. A
molded hard case in SG format will complement the protection of the included gig bag. Add a
quality adjustable strap and a
curved capo compatible with the 12" radius for optimal intonation across the entire neck.
