With the Epiphone SG Special Vintage Edition, Epiphone introduces the legendary SG Doublecut design at an affordable price. Two Epiphone 650R and 700T humbuckers with ceramic magnets provide juicy rock sounds in neck and bridge position, while the original 1960s Slim Taper 'D' profile gives an authentic feeling in all positions of the fingerboard. The powerful SG is completed by a sleek Vintage Worn Satin finish and solid hardware in the form of a LockTone Tune-o-Matic bridge and Epiphone Premium tuners.
The basic construction of the SG Special VE is based on a poplar body made to original dimensions, which has been provided with a mahogany veneer. This is connected via a screw construction to the mahogany neck in the authentic 1960 Slim Taper'D' profile and provides easy access to the high positions of the 22-flush rosewood fingerboard thanks to the flat neck foot.
The 650R and 700T humbuckers used in the Epiphone SG Special VE rely on the increased output of two ceramic magnets and deliver tight low-end sounds with smooth mids and powerful trebles. Accordingly, the slightly hotter wound humbuckers are ideal for wide rock sounds and classic blues crunch. Last but not least, both pickups come in the classic open-coil black design.
I did have a SG Gibson years ago and sold it. I wanted a similar guitar as I loved the feel of my Gibson, but I didn’t have the funds repurchase one This Epiphone feels very much the same for a fraction of the price, I am extremely happy with it. The finish is more like a stain rather than gloss am sure the black is different as they cost slight more.
This is my first guitar and I’m a complete beginner, but I can already tell I’m gonna have so much fun with this. It sounds amazing, it looks amazing, I’m stoked.
Iam very satisfied of the shipping and the perfect equipment i was buy it is all professional and all good organization of this company and I recommend to everyone to buy and try this products. Best regards
