Epiphone SG Custom Two Humbucker Electric Guitar with Gig Bag, Ebony

The Iconic SG Custom

The Epiphone Les Paul Studio from the Inspired by Gibson Collection is the modern version of the 80s classic originally intended for studio musicians and players seeking the classic Les Paul sound with no frills and less weight. Featuring Epiphone-designed Alnico Classic™ Open-Coil humbuckers and world class Grover™ machine heads in new color finishes including Alpine White, Ebony, Wine Red,Smokehouse Burst. When you really want to cook on a solo or deliver some thunderous power chords, you reach for a guitar that’s got a pair of humbuckers, right? Forget all those thin “out-of-phase” guitar sounds that session players overused in the 1980s and into the ’90s. That’s not for you. Your sound is all about the warmth, punch, and midrange complexity you can only get from a pair of humbuckers. The Epiphone SG Custom comes with a pair of Alnico Custom PRO ’buckers for uncompromising power, whether you’re playing rhythm or digging into a solo.

Something old, something new
It’s hard to believe that by 1961, Gibson decided to discontinue the original Les Paul guitar. Their motivation is unclear. Weak sales? The urge to try something new? In any case, the first SGs were actually called Les Pauls, but Les himself wasn’t in favor of that for a variety of reasons. So, in a bold move, this solid guitar was renamed SG, which stood for, uh, solid guitar. A few years later, Gibson started making the original Les Pauls again, but the SG proved so popular that they kept making them. The reason is easy to understand. With its iconic sculpted double-horned body, it’s actually quite a cool looking instrument, and it delivers the classic humbucker sound for people who don’t particularly want or need a Les Paul. The SG is also a much lighter-weight instrument, yet it doesn’t cut corners.
