Epiphone 1961 SG Standard 2023 - Aged Sixties Cherry

A Rock Legend Reborn. The Epiphone Les Paul SG '61 reissue from 2023, part of Epiphone’s Inspired by Gibson line, nails the vibe of the original SG, back when it was briefly a "Les Paul." Think Angus Young’s snarl or Tony Iommi’s crunch, but at a price that won’t break the bank, especially at what we have it priced. Look and Feel, this SG’s got that killer double-cutaway mahogany body, light as a feather, with sharp horns for easy high-fret shredding. The Vintage Cherry nitro finish looks like it’s seen a few smoky stages, with a glossy black pickguard and cream binding for extra swagger. The mahogany neck’s SlimTaper profile feels fast and comfy, paired with a 12"-radius laurel fretboard and 22 medium-jumbo frets that beg for bends. Nickel hardware, including a LockTone bridge and Epiphone Deluxe tuners, keeps it tight and in tune.
 
Sound. With a Gibson BurstBucker 2 pickup in the neck and a Gibson BurstBucker 3 pickup in the bridge, dish out everything from warm blues to screaming metal. Featuring CTS pots and Switchcraft wiring, it’s punchy, clear, and versatile as hell. Plug into a cranked amp, and you’ll feel the room shake. Why It Rocks at 3.2kgs, this SG’s a stage beast low-slung and ready to rip. The 2023 model steps up with a slick nitro finish and Made in partnership with the Gibson Custom Shop electronics, fixing old gripes like muddy tones. For the price, it’s a steal.
