Epiphone SG Standard Vintage Cherry - Maestro Vibrola

The Guitar that shaped classic rock and metal

An iconic design. The SG was forged from fire and brimstone. With its signature double pointed cutaways, you'd be forgiven for thinking this guitar has the horns of the Devil. But don't be intimidated by its devastating good looks. The Epiphone SG Standard is smooth to the touch, fitting snugly in your hands with its contoured curves. Crafted from solid mahogany, this is an axe that resonates with the full force of both pickups.

Go from 0 – 100 on a slim taper neck that helps players shred even faster. Whether you're riffing up high or chugging down low, you'll always find it easy to play your riffs. No strain. No hard work. No problem.

The SG is the ultimate partner in crime for seasoned slayers and total beginners alike. Every note is accessible thanks to a 24.75" scale length and 12" fingerboard radius. But it's the Indian Laurel fretboard that's the SG's true secret weapon. Alongside effortless playability, this impressive tonewood resonates with crunchy sustain. Rock and metal just got a new hero.

Play your best. No matter where you are

Great tone is nothing without great tuning. With the Epiphone SG Standard 61, you get both. Every single performance. Discover impeccable intonation from a Locktone ABR bridge. This historic design will have your strings singing in key no matter where you are. Whether you're gigging the local circuit, hitting the road on your world tour, or practising at home, you'll always be playing your best.

Pitch perfect stability. Every step of the way. Gigging can be tough, so you need a guitar that is up to the challenge. The SG Standard comes equipped with Epiphone's Deluxe machine heads, keeping your tuning rock solid at all times.

String issues? Not with the Epiphone SG. Experience consistent quality with the Graph Tech nut. That means no flat spots, no dead strings, and no tuning problems. Add to that increased bass response, mid, and high end harmonics, and you've got tone that's sure to turn heads.

A double whammy

Vibrant modulation. Right at your fingertips. The Standard 61 comes with a fully responsive tremolo system, letting you add depth and texture to your hot licks.

Soar high. Dive Low. Augment with style. The Maestro Vibrola is a powerful tool for the serious guitarist. Whether you're looking to add subtle definition or jaw-dropping charisma, your SG will always stay in tune.

Old school design. Modern day comfort. The SG's bespoke tremolo system has been crafted with precision to bring the ultimate playing experience to guitarists.
