Description
The Epiphone SG Special P-90 in Cherry Red is a killer option for players who want classic SG looks and snappy, no-nonsense tone. If you're into vintage rock, garage, or punk-or just want a guitar that's fast-playing and full of personality-this one punches well above its weight. It captures that early '60s SG Special vibe, but with modern reliability and thoughtful updates.
At the heart of it is a pair of Epiphone P-90 PRO Soapbar pickups, which dish out that signature midrange snarl and top-end bite. They're super touch-sensitive, making it easy to go from chiming clean to gritty drive just by working your volume knob. The mahogany body and Lightning Bar wraparound bridge keep things resonant and focused, while the classic 2-volume, 2-tone setup gives you plenty of control over both pickups.
The 60s SlimTaper neck carve is one of the best-feeling profiles out there-quick in the hand but still substantial enough for solid rhythm work. Paired with a bound rosewood fingerboard and medium jumbo frets, it plays smooth all the way up. Between the Graph Tech nut and Epiphone Deluxe tuners, it stays in tune even when things get rowdy. This one's been a staff favorite around here for good reason-it's just a blast to play.
