The Epiphone SG Special-I Limited-Edition electric guitar offers the classic SG design at an accessible price, blending iconic tone and playability with modern reliability. This lightweight model features a mahogany body cut to the historic SG profile, ensuring the sharp looks and balanced feel players have loved for decades.

Electric Guitar With Ceramic Humbuckers for Bold Tone

The SG profile is a staple in rock history, known for its distinctive double-cutaway design that offers excellent upper-fret access.

Its SlimTaper neck supports fast runs and smooth transitions, while the fingerboard's pearloid dot inlays add a touch of vintage style. With a reliable bolt-on construction, this neck holds up to aggressive playing without sacrificing stability.

Powerful tone comes from the combination of Epiphone Ceramic 700T and 650R pickups. Ceramic magnets deliver the sharp, punchy sound players need for heavy riffs and soaring leads. The three-way selector switch lets you toggle between bridge, neck, or blended pickup configurations, while volume and tone controls keep adjustments simple and effective. This pickup setup handles distortion and overdrive with ease, making it ideal for hard rock and metal tones.

Epiphone built this SG with durable hardware, including a wrap-around bridge and tailpiece that ensure reliable intonation. The machine heads feature a 15:1 tuning ratio for precise adjustments, keeping you in tune during practice or performances. A heavy-duty 1/4" jack and sturdy construction round out the guitar's readiness for gigs or jam sessions, providing the reliability players expect from Epiphone.

Style options include Cherry, Ebony, and Pelham Blue finishes, offering a classic or bold look depending on your preference. This guitar's sharp aesthetics complement its versatile sound, making it an excellent choice for players who value both performance and presentation. The lightweight design suits musicians on the go, providing easy portability without sacrificing tone.
