Epiphone SG Standard LH Ebony IBG

A Rock Icon, Revisited in the "Inspired by Gibson" Collection

Born in the early 1960s, the SG established itself with its sharp ergonomics and incisive attack. This Epiphone SG Standard "Inspired by Gibson" translates the historic DNA for left-handers: mahogany body and neck, set neck joint, modernized electronics with CTS potentiometers, and refined finishes. The result: a reliable, expressive electric guitar ready for both stage and studio, enhanced by the timeless "Ebony" black finish.

Who Is It For and Which Styles?

Ideal for ambitious beginners to intermediate/advanced guitarists, this left-handed SG excels in rock, blues, hard rock, punk, and pop. The slim neck facilitates barre chords, fast riffs, and precise bends, while the tuning stability and balance of the SG format ensure peace of mind during rehearsals, concerts, and recordings.

Sound

The mahogany body plus set neck combination delivers warmth, clear attack, and long sustain. The ProBucker 2 in the neck position provides round cleans and singing leads; the hotter ProBucker 3 at the bridge offers tight grain, punch, and great definition for powerful rhythms. The 3-position selector and 2 volumes / 2 tones architecture allow sculpting from vintage clean to edgy crunch, with excellent responsiveness to playing dynamics.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

Optimal playability with nickel electric strings 10-46 (or 9-42 for lighter tension), perfectly suited to the 24.75" / 628.65 mm scale length. For transport, prefer a molded hard case SG left-handed type in addition to the supplied gig bag. Add a quality adjustable strap and a curved capo compatible with 12" radius to maintain intonation across the neck.
