Tuxedo Looks, SG Snarl, And Way More Guitar Than The Price Suggests

If you want that classic SG feel with a little extra class, this Epiphone SG Custom in Ebony hits that sweet spot. It has the formal black-and-gold vibe of a high-end custom, but with the punch, sustain, and reliability you need to drag it through real-world gigs.

Mahogany SG Body With Ebony Tuxedo Finish

The classic SG formula is all here: a contoured, double-cutaway mahogany body that rings with warmth and sustain. At around 7 lbs it feels light on the shoulder, but still has enough mass to stay full and focused when you crank the gain.

The gloss Ebony finish and gold hardware give it that tuxedo look that just oozes stage presence. Photos are of the actual guitar, so what you see is exactly what is going into your hands.

SlimTaper Neck And Ebony Board Built For Speed

The glued-in mahogany neck has a 1960 SlimTaper C profile that feels fast without turning into a toothpick. It fills your hand just enough for solid rhythm work, but stays sleek for fluid leads and long stretches up the neck.

A bound ebony fingerboard with a 12 inch radius and 22 medium jumbo frets keeps things smooth and precise. Chords feel comfortable down low, bends stay clean up high, and the pearloid block inlays give you that proper Custom-level look every time you glance down.

ProBucker Custom Humbuckers: Classic SG Bite With Modern Clarity

A pair of Epiphone ProBucker Custom humbuckers delivers the sound you expect from a great SG: tight lows, chewy mids, and enough cut to slice through a busy mix. Clean, they stay glassy and articulate. Push your amp and they open up into thick, singing sustain with plenty of harmonic bloom.

Each pickup has its own volume and tone control, so you can blend bright bridge grind with warm neck fatness and park the toggle switch wherever the song needs it. Real talk, you can cover a whole set on this guitar without feeling boxed into one sound.

Gold Hardware And Rock-Solid Tuning Stability

Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners, a Graph Tech nut, and Epiphone’s LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece all work together to keep things dialed. Bend hard, dig into big chords, and it still tracks back to pitch like it should.

Gold hardware, black 4-ply pickguard, black Top Hat knobs with gold inserts, and that bound headstock with the split diamond inlay tie the whole look together. It feels and looks way more expensive than it is, on stage or under studio lights.

The Lowdown

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

The Epiphone SG Custom is part of the Inspired by Gibson collection, so the bones are right: mahogany body, set mahogany neck, 24.75″ scale, and dual humbuckers. You get the tuxedo styling, ebony fingerboard, and ProBucker pickups that capture that classic SG growl and sustain, without dropping Gibson Custom-level money. If you want the feel and attitude of a dressed-up SG at a working-player price, this hits that sweet spot.
It is slim and fast, but not a super-flat shredder neck. Think comfortable 60s-style Gibson: enough meat to keep your hand relaxed on chords, but sleek enough for quick runs and big stretches. If you usually like modern C or SlimTaper profiles, you will feel right at home here. If you only play huge baseball bat necks, it will feel slimmer but very manageable.
Yes. The 24.75″ scale and solid hardware make this SG Custom happy with standard 10s, heavier 11s, or a slightly beefier bottom for dropped tunings. Tell us at checkout how you like it strung and tuned, and our techs will set the nut, truss rod, action, and intonation so it feels dialed in right out of the case.
Yes. We shoot the actual Epiphone SG Custom you are buying, not a random stock photo. The grain, finish, and little details you see online are exactly what will show up at your door, complete with the included premium gig bag and our full setup.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
