Epiphone SG Special P-90 Cherry Red IBG

A Sixties Heritage, "Inspired by Gibson"

Designed as the link between the Junior and the Standard, the SG Special made rock history with its effective simplicity. This Epiphone "Inspired by Gibson" version captures the 60s Kalamazoo aesthetic and the raw spirit of vintage studio takes, featuring a Cherry Red finish that highlights its sharp lines and uncompromising character.

Who Is This SG Special P-90 For?

Perfect for ambitious beginners to intermediate guitarists as well as seasoned stage players seeking a straightforward and reliable SG. The P-90s excel in rock, blues, indie, garage, and punk. Lower the volumes for clear, open arpeggios; crank them up for tight rhythms and leads that cut through the mix without harshness.

Sound

The pair of P-90 PRO Soapbar pickups delivers incisive attack, present mids, and great right-hand responsiveness. The mahogany body and neck add warmth and sustain, while the Lightning Bar wraparound transmits string energy with punch and precision. Independent 2 volume / 2 tone controls and a 3-position selector offer a wide range: smooth neck pickup, biting bridge pickup, or a blend of both for immediate versatility on stage or in the studio.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

Shipped with a premium gig bag, it pairs ideally with a 10-46 nickel string set to maintain the P-90s' tension/sustain balance, a flat capo for electric guitar, and a sturdy strap. For maximum protection, opt for a hard case in SG format suited to the double-cutaway silhouette. A quality 6.35 mm jack cable will ensure a reliable and noise-free signal.
