Epiphone SG Special P-90; Cherry Red
Epiphone SG Special P-90; Cherry Red
An authentic recreation of the early '60s dual-pickup rock machine.
The SG Special established its legacy in the early 1960s as the definitive bridge between the utilitarian Junior and the flagship Standard models. Renowned for its "no-nonsense" approach, it became a staple of the era's most influential rock recordings due to its aggressive midrange and lightweight design. This "Inspired by Gibson" iteration meticulously captures that vintage spirit, providing the aesthetic and sonic profile of the original Kalamazoo-era instruments.
Constructed with a classic double-cutaway solid mahogany body, this model features a mahogany neck with a '60s SlimTaper profile for a fast, ergonomic feel. The hardware configuration includes a period-correct compensated wraparound bridge for enhanced sustain and a set of Epiphone Deluxe tuners with ivory buttons. A bound rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and a Graph Tech nut completes the physical build, ensuring reliable intonation and resonance.
