SG Punch, Modern Reliability, Real World Price
The Epiphone SG Standard Cherry is part of the Inspired by Gibson line, which means you get the classic SG recipe with smart upgrades that actually matter to players. Mahogany body and neck, 24.75 inch scale, and a pair of ProBucker humbuckers give you that familiar snarl and sustain without wrecking your gear budget.
This specific guitar weighs in at a comfortable 7.2 pounds and feels instantly familiar if you have ever wrapped your hands around a good SG. The cherry gloss finish, big batwing guard, and bound trapezoid board hit the vintage vibe, while the hardware and setup land squarely in modern workhorse territory.
Mahogany Body And Neck For Singing Sustain
The SG body is all about access and attitude. The contoured, double cutaway mahogany body lets you reach all 22 frets without thinking about it, and the glued in mahogany neck keeps notes blooming longer than they have any right to at this price.
Mahogany keeps the highs sweet, the mids vocal, and the lows tight. Plug this into a cranked tube amp and you get that classic SG grind that cuts through dense mixes without turning into a fizzy mess.
SlimTaper C Neck That Stays Comfortable All Night
The SlimTaper C neck profile hits that sweet spot between fast and substantial. It is slim enough for quick runs and wide bends, but it still fills the hand enough that you feel connected to every note.
A bound laurel fingerboard with a 12 inch radius and 22 medium jumbo frets means first position chords feel easy, and big bends up high stay smooth instead of fretting out. Real talk, this neck feels like it was made to live on a stage, not just a stand.
ProBucker Humbuckers: From Crunch To Creamy
The ProBucker 2 in the neck and slightly hotter ProBucker 3 in the bridge serve up everything from glassy cleans to thick, singing lead tones. Bridge position gets you that tight, aggressive SG bark that loves overdrive and fuzz. The neck is warm and round without getting muddy.
Each pickup has its own volume and tone control, so you can preset two very different sounds and flip between them with the three way toggle. Roll the bridge volume back for gritty rhythm, then slam it wide open for solos that jump out of the mix.
LockTone Hardware And Grover Tuners Keep You Dialed
Epiphone’s LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece lock down your strings for solid intonation and better transfer of vibration into the body. Paired with a Graph Tech nut and Grover Rotomatic tuning machines, this thing holds tune the way a gigging guitar should.
Nickel hardware, large batwing pickguard, and thoughtful touches like the dual action truss rod and secure strap buttons round out a package that is built to be played hard and often.
