Inspired by the iconic Gibson SG, the SG Tribute Plus embraces the hallmarks that shaped rock history: a sculpted mahogany body and ergonomics tailored for energetic playing. This "Tribute Plus" version stands out with its refined finishes and modern approach, ideal for accessing the SG style without compromising playing enjoyment.
Built for beginner to intermediate guitarists (and perfectly valid as a second guitar), this Epiphone suits rock, blues, and hard rock equally well. The two volumes and two tone controls allow switching from a crisp clean sound to a denser distortion, convenient for exploring multiple genres without feeling limited.
With its two Epiphone ceramic magnet humbuckers, the SG Tribute Plus delivers a powerful, tight, and mid-rich tone, typical of guitars designed to cut through a mix. The neck pickup (650R) offers a roundness ideal for singing solos and thick rhythms, while the bridge pickup (700T) pushes attack and definition further for saturated riffs. The combination of the mahogany body and the Tune-O-Matic / Stop Bar setup promotes generous sustain and dynamic response, useful for both crunch and high gain.
Equipped with a Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece, the guitar accepts standard electric guitar strings (common gauges like 09-42 or 10-46 depending on your playing style). For transport, a SG-sized gig bag or hard case is recommended to ensure proper support of the body and headstock.
