Is it anything like my jackson custom shop USA no but that does not mean it is a bad guitar i think the guitar is under priced to be honest this plays more like a mid teir guitar and sounds like one as well. But what suprised me the most about this guitar was how fathful it is sound wise to the real deal. However you can tell by look it is is not a gibson SG the Epiphone SG rocks a high gloss cherry clear coat finish witch IMHO looks so much cooler than the dulled aged cherry finish look on a real Gibson SG. As far as weight of the instrament goes it is a weee bit less heavy than my jackson and since Gibson SGs are solid built im going to go ahead and say it weighs less than a real gibson as well i could be wrong on that though. You can always tell a good guitar by how well it sounds when played when its not pluged into an amp. this sounded almost to nice to be true for the asking price. The pick ups seem okey The hardwear seems to be good i hear people say the tuners on this are bad quality and the guitar wont keep its tuneing. I havent experianced that yet and i broke this thing out of the box set it up tuned it once and shreded the shit out of it and it kept its tuneing. So i will up date this after 1 week and tell you if thats legit in my case. Quality control seems good on this guitar no scratchs chips or nicks on it no loose fittings no bowed necks frets are even neck action was no fret buzz it was good to go out of the box once i tuned it. Can you gig with this guitar is it road worthy yea i think it would hold up if cared for properly. Just remember when and if you get a guitar it is at the end of the day only your partner in crime a super nice guitar wont make you sound like the next big thing it will help but in the end most of your player unigue tone/sound comes from you and your hands. Someone who is experianced can make anything sound good someone still learning the ropes may not be able to do that just remember it is 40% equiptment 60% you the player for the price this guitar is a great pick up for a back up guitar or for a newbie who wants to start down the awsome road to becomeing a musician. [UPDATE ON THINGS] after 2 weeks of ownership and weather tempture changeing from 50 degrees to about below 30 it seems to still be in tune even though i only tuned it twice. all withen the first 2 days of ownership so my verdict on the tuneing issue is at least for me my tuners are good to go i see no need to replace them who knows maybe i got lucky like a golden ducky hehe! Review: THIS GUITAR IS RIGHT ON GIBSON'S PAR... I'M A POET & JUST FORGET IT, BUY IT! - This guitar even arrives in a nice box, double protected from Musician's Friend with a larger outer box loaded with packing to keep the prize awaiting inside safe. The inside, another Epiphone box by Gibson. Opening it reveals a masterpiece to the eyes, seemless paint job in cherry, easy on the eyes (no, not the girl who packed it at the plant, the guitar!). I wanted an SG for a long time, but they were so costly I grazed past it to other models for an intermediate like me getting back in the ranks. This thing looks and feels like the Gibson original, it's light, easy to hold, sits perfectly on your knee, tunes awesome, sounds great, and when I put it through my distortion pedal, I thought I was hearing Metallica... of course, then I woke up. The neck plays fast and the pickup switch gives you the ability to have the full two pickups on for rhythm, the back one on only for lead with a twangier taste, and the front one for a heavier-bassier tone. The full two pickups boring down with some strong bar chords are my favorite. My friend who is an officianado grabbed it and made it sound like a $4,000.00 guitar, then handed it back to me with a sneer and said that he could make anything sound good, but the axe I got for $169 was "okay." In his eyes, that really meant he had to say that so I didn't get a swelled head. Together with a SG model hardshell case from desertcart (off copy) with black velvet style interior, it looks delectable. Buy this one first, then move on to something more expensive, but you don't really have to. Save the money and buy yourself a ticket to the Bahamas, but don't forget to take the SG with you... you may need an Epiphone portable amp though for the beach so people don't even dare kick sand in your face. They may even buy you a Pina Colada, but don't be a dummy and spill it on this masterpiece. ## Features - Lam Alder/Maple body - Two open-coil humbuckers - Angled headstock - Rosewood fingerboard ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002D01IQ | | Back Material Type | Alder | | Best Sellers Rank | #41,951 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #222 in Solid Body Electric Guitars | | Body Material | Alder;Maple | | Body Material Type | Alder;Maple | | Brand | Epiphone | | Brand Name | Epiphone | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 744 Reviews | | Fretboard Material Type | Rosewood | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00711106260280 | | Guitar Bridge System | Tune-O-Matic | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | H | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Instrument | Guitar | | Item Dimensions | 44 x 16.5 x 4 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 44"L x 16.5"W x 4"H | | Item Weight | 11 pounds | | Manufacturer | Epiphone | | Manufacturer Part Number | ESGSEBCH1 | | Model Name | SG Special | | Model Number | ESGSEBCH1 | | Model Series | SG Special | | Neck Material Type | Maple | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Scale Length | 24.75 | | String Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Top Material Type | Alder Wood | | UPC | 711106260280 | ## Product Details - **Back Material Type:** Alder - **Body Material:** Alder;Maple - **Brand:** Epiphone - **Color:** Black - **Fretboard Material Type:** Rosewood - **Guitar Pickup Configuration:** H - **Hand Orientation:** Right - **Neck Material Type:** Maple - **String Material Type:** Alloy Steel - **Top Material Type:** Alder Wood ## Images ![Epiphone SG Special Electric Guitar, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RQpeMl1+L.jpg) ![Epiphone SG Special Electric Guitar, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71yDgPbFFIL.jpg) ![Epiphone SG Special Electric Guitar, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51oHlm7kY-L.jpg) ![Epiphone SG Special Electric Guitar, Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51nWPU66OJL.jpg) ![Epiphone SG Special Electric Guitar, Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81FOSicvXRL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How does this compare to epiphone les paul special ii** A: The Epiphone SG Special, and Les Paul Special II have identical electronics, The main difference is the body style. The LP has a thicker depth, single cutaway, and is somewhat heavier, and the SG has a double cutaway thin body, that is lighter in weight, with better fret access. The tone is similar, due to the double coil, or "humbucker" pickups. **Q: Is this full size?** A: Yes, full size, 24 3/4" scale length. **Q: can you put a wammy bar? how?** A: The Deusenberg Les Trem II replaces the stop bar and works very well. It comes with the appropriate metric studs and costs around $100. **Q: My brother has the les paul ii I want to get the sg for my first guitar is this diffrent to the les paul ii** A: Definitely a big difference. I like the feel and weight of the SG and SG special. I like the SG special as a starter guitar. many people complain that the SG special won't stay in tune. I have not experienced that. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ok i freaking love this deff keeping as my back up guitar! *by J***J on November 12, 2016* WoW! for a sub 200 dollar guitar this packs some serious awsome sauce!

For stage i almost always use a n american le s paul . I have never owned an import as I never played one that was as good as the American issues in tone and playability. Took this thing out of t he box and after a few frustrating hours trying to get it to stay in tune ( the problem was the brand new cheap strings that come with it which I should have changed ) I was overwhelmed by how well it plays right out of the box .this thing screams!!!!! I ran it through a dsl 100/4x 4 cab and a dsl 40 combo. It was amazing. I play mostly hard rock and this guitar delivers.. I was so impressed with the 1 st one , I bought another one a day later in a different color. The only real departure from the American version is the voicing of the pickups is different from that Gibson . Not bad ,just different .my plan is replace the bridge pickup with a hot Duncan . I originally bought it thinking i would have to replace a lot of the hardware etc.I didn't really care i was buying it for the incredible finish that I never had on a gibson. These guitars are so underpriced for what they are i am trying to resist getting another. For about the price of a Gibson case you can a really nice sg. I am still in love with my Gibson's and my Tele but I have changed my thinking about offshore after these guitars. my last 2 marshalls were vietnamese .I held it up next to my 2015 lp and it had a much better finish .It was easy to tell because they were the same cherry color. I am in no way affiliated with epiphone just really impressed with these instruments ## Frequently Bought Together - Epiphone SG Special Electric Guitar, Black - Amazon Basics Adjustable Folding Guitar Stand, A-shape, Fully Assembled - For School Music Program, Concerts & Multiple Users, Black - New bee 6ft Instrument Cable Bass AMP Cord for Electric ,Bass Guitar, Electric Mandolin, Pro Audio (Right Angle to Straight, Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1325174-epiphone-sg-special-electric-guitar-black](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1325174-epiphone-sg-special-electric-guitar-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-10-11*
