Not only was it lighter than a Les Paul but the SG’s P90 pickups had more tone and clarity than single coil pickups yet still had all the bite and overtones of a humbucker. The twin horn cutaway design was like nothing on the market and its light but balanced weight and P90 pickups made it the perfect guitar for stage and studio. When the SG or “Solid Guitar” was introduced in 1961 as a replacement for the Les Paul, it was called the “fretless wonder” for its low frets and fast action. Today, it’s a part of every guitar player’s arsenal and The Epiphone Limited Edition 50th Anniversary “1961” SG Special Outfit gives you classic styling and vintage sound with our famous Epiphone production quality that today’s guitar collectors seldom find in vintage instruments. Hard rock, metal, and scores of rockers embraced the original SG. The original SG not only rivaled guitars of its own era for sonic variety, but also proved to be a sign of things to come.
Celebrate 50 Years of A Classic: The Epiphone Limited Edition 50th Anniversary “1961” SG Special Outfit faithfully turns back the clock and gives you an affordable iconic instrument that sounds and plays like you’ve stepped back in time.
