New Epiphone SG Special P-90 Electric Guitar Cherry Red Deluxe Hardshell Case Included

An Original Rock ‘n’ Roll Icon

With its instantly recognizable body shape and top-shelf rock ‘n’ roll sound, the SG has found its place in the pantheon of iconic electric guitars. The Epiphone SG Special P-90 takes all of the qualities that made the SG a classic and fits them into a high-quality guitar fit for players of all skill levels. The Epiphone SG Special P-90's inimitable tone is founded on a solid mahogany body and neck that provide ample warmth and depth. It's then bolstered by a traditional rosewood fingerboard, which adds rich lows and a chiming top end to the sonic profile. Add in top-shelf hardware specs such as Grover tuners, a LockTune Tune-o-matic bridge, a Graph Tech nut, and a duo of P-90 PRO pickups, and it's clear that the Epiphone SG Standard is primed to become your next workhorse axe.

Legendary guitar with a distinctive design

It’s hard to believe, but in 1961, Gibson discontinued the original Les Paul guitar and replaced it with the SG, which originally bore the Les Paul name. But Les himself wasn’t a fan of that, so the guitar was renamed SG, which stood for… solid guitar! A few years later, Gibson started making the original Les Pauls again, but the SG proved so popular Gibson continued producing them. The reason is easy to understand. It has a distinctive look and delivers a classic humbucker sound with all the thick, fat tone you could ever want. Though it’s often thought of as the archetypal rock guitar, the SG has been used across all genres of music; from jazz to fusion, metal, prog, and beyond.

Epiphone P-90 Pro pickups

Here at Sweetwater, we have many fiercely loyal fans of the P-90 pickup, favored for its unique tonal palette that is distinct from — yet complementary to — humbuckers and traditional single-coils. The P-90 PRO pickups found in the SG Special P-90 supply their own brand of grit — a bit brighter, leaner, and less refined than a humbucker, with almost as much output. Despite their overdriven nature, which is ideal for classic rock and modern styles alike, the P-90 PRO set can easily be tamed by dialing back the tone control, adding shimmering cleans to your sonic repertoire.
