Superb SG Sonics for Every Player

From AC/DC’s Angus Young and Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi to Fugazi’s Ian MacKaye and Sleater-Kinney’s Carrie Brownstein, the iconic Gibson SG has become a totem symbolic of rock ’n’ roll’s enduring ethos. The dynamic double-cutaway powerhouse is synonymous with the rock experience, and this Epiphone SG tribute channels the decades of sound the SG has made possible, from rock and metal to virtually every genre under the sun. With the Epiphone SG Tribute, you’ve got an electrifying axe that has Sweetwater’s Guitar Workshop impressed with the time-tested quality and character that it exudes, punching far above its price point. Its harmonically rich neck and body are complemented by a crystalline-sounding laurel fingerboard, bound for visual panache that supplements the iconic stylings of its twin-horned helm. This SG Tribute’s sculpted neck joint gives you unfettered access to the 22 frets sprawling the fretboard’s 12-inch radius, while a Slim Taper profile accommodates multitudes of play styles with comfort, speed, and precision. Armed with a dyad of Epiphone 650R and 700T ceramic humbuckers, the SG Tribute delivers worlds of tone crafting that are sure to bolster virtually any performance possibilities.

Epiphone SG Tribute Features:

  • Robust construction and eye-catching aesthetics deliver a powerful, pliable instrument
  • Mahogany body and neck form a balanced foundation of rich harmonics that emboldens nearly any sonic style
  • Bound laurel fingerboard supplements your sound with a crystalline veneer that tames cloying highs, focuses mids, and imbues lows with presence without compromising definition
  • Slim Taper neck profile and sculpted neck joint ensure uncompromising access to all 22 frets
  • 12-in. fretboard radius accommodates multiple play styles with ease
  • Dual Epiphone 650R/700T ceramic pickups provide malleable tone-crafting foundations with immense diversity

My choice
It's upper end guitar ever since I played 1 I have wanted 1. There awesome.
Music background: All my life,drums vocals guitar
Budget Axe Customized
I wanted an SG but wanted a bolt on neck. So I bought this budget model and added locking tuners, Seymour Duncan pickups and had it plekked.

Wow what an amazing guitar. The action is stellar and the tone is awesome.

Thanks to my sales engineer Jason for the expert guidance in getting it built. Plus it was a ton of fun configuring it!!
Music background: 45 years playing as a hobbyist
Quality is better than expected
I've had my eyes on an SG style guitar for a while, so this Epiphone seemed like a good choice. I'm actually quite impressed with the quality of this guitar at this price.
It took a little getting used to compared to my Schecter C6 because of the placement of the strap button, but now that I've had it for a while I split my playing time between these 2 guitars.
I didn't experience any neck dive issues that some SG owners complain about. This guitar doesn't seem to be neck heavy at all.
The thicker 2 strings were a little buzzy on arrival, but a quick and easy truss rod adjustment fixed it.

I really enjoy playing this SG shape guitar and thumbs up to Epiphone quality.
Delivery was prompt and the packaging was very secure. Service was excellent.
Music background: Novice
Love my new SG!
I'm really enjoying my new Epiphone SG guitar. It serves my purposes very well, it came to me perfectly set up for my preferences. I always appreciate the assistance I get from my Sales Engineer Mitch Dazey and once again, his advice paid off. Thanks again, SweetWater, for coming through for me quickly and at a price that works well for me!
Excellent guitar, regardless of price

This guitar plays and sounds great. The fact it is around $ is amazing. Would recommend.
