Epiphone SG Special P-90 TV Yellow

An SG "between tradition and efficiency" in the spirit of the 1960s

Born in the early '60s, the SG Special established itself as a more streamlined version than the Standard, while retaining the DNA that made the SG a stage reference: formidable ergonomics, iconic design, and a sound temperament designed to cross styles. This Epiphone from the Inspired by Gibson range adopts these vintage codes (60s Kalamazoo headstock, nickel hardware, wraparound) while adding a modern level of equipment designed for frequent, loud, and long playing sessions.

For which guitarists and styles?

The SG Special P-90 is particularly aimed at advanced beginners to intermediate guitarists seeking a true sonic personality, as well as experienced musicians looking for a simple, direct, and expressive solid body. The P-90s excel in classic rock, punk, garage, blues, and indie: ranging from a gritty and lively clean tone to a dense and articulate distortion. With its 2 volume + 2 tone controls and 3-position selector switch, it also becomes an excellent stage tool for sculpting sound without complexity.

The sonic character of the P-90s: bite, grain, and definition

Mounted in neck and bridge positions, the Epiphone P-90 PRO Soapbar pickups deliver that famous compromise between the snap of a single-coil and the thickness of a humbucker: forward mids, a clear attack, and a very organic "grain" sensation. By adjusting the volumes, you clean up the distortion without losing the pickup's identity, and the tone controls allow you to go from an open and biting sound to a rounder color. The mahogany body + glued mahogany neck combo enhances warmth and sustain, while the compensated wraparound adds direct response, ideal for riffs that need to stay clear and present in the mix.

Recommended compatible accessories

The guitar comes with a set of strings in .010 .013 .017 .026 .036 .046, so you can keep this gauge to maintain the original balance (comfort, tuning, attack) when replacing them. It is supplied with a premium Epiphone gig bag for transport and protection.
