Product Description

When the “SG” double cutaway electric guitar was first released, it was intended to take the place of the Les Paul which was discontinued throughout most of the 60s. Lightweight yet powerful, the SG became a hard rock classic all its own. The new SG Special Satin E1 has the same iconic design with a Poplar body with a Mahogany veneer and a black pickguard. The bolt-on Mahogany neck has a 1960's SlimTaper D profile, a standard SG scale length of 24.75”, an Okoume fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets. The SG-Special VE is available in Cherry, Ebony, Heritage Cherry Sunburst, Vintage Sunburst, and Walnut Vintage Worn finishes.

Epiphone SG-Special VE Electric Guitar

Featuring Humbuckers with Ceramic Magnets and Vintage Worn Finish

The new Epiphone SG-Special VE is a great way for new players to discover a rock classic at a price anyone can afford. Featuring Epiphone open-coil humbuckers with Ceramic Magnets and available in beautiful Vintage Worn finish.

Classic SG Styling

Lightweight yet powerful, the SG became a hard rock classic in the 1960s. The new SG-Special VE has the same iconic design with a Poplar body with a Mahogany veneer and a black pickguard. The bolt-on Mahogany neck has a 1960's SlimTaper D profile, a standard SG scale length of 24.75”, a fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays, and 22 medium jumbo frets. The 'Clipped Ear' style headstock has a 60s era Epiphone logo in silver and a '2017' Edition logo on the back of headstock.

Open Coil Humbuckers with Ceramic Magnets

The SG-Special VE is powered by two Epiphone open-coil humbuckers with ceramic magnets. Ceramic pickups have a higher output than vintage Alnico magnet pickups and are designed to provide a tight low-end response with both a smooth mid-range and a slightly more pronounced top end tone. The SG-Special VE has a 650R in the rhythm position and a slightly 'hotter' 700T in the lead position. Controls include a Master Volume and Master Tone with traditional black 'Speed' knobs and a 3-way pickup selector.

Epiphone Hardware

The new SG-Special VE features Epiphone-designed rock solid hardware including the classic SG style LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge and Stopbar tailpiece, a non-rotating ¼” output jack, and premium die-cast 14:1 ratio machine heads for fast and accurate tuning. An optional hard case is also available.

This guitars fret ends were so sharp they cute me grabbing the neck for the very first time in attempt to pull it from a tattered shroud not fault of the manufacturer but the sharp fret sprouts on he neck of the guitar is 100% the fault of the manufacturer. I should have sent this back but kept it as I seen other reviews complaining about this same issue Sharp frets! All 22 of them on both sides were sharp and needed to be filed down. On the back of the guitar is a spot that looks as though it have been banged hard enough to crack the body of the guitar and a residue around the area like someone tried using wood glue on the crack. I got no truss rod tool nor any paperwork with the guitar as it was not found anywhere within the product box or shipping container box.People always say save a little more buy something better well after having tried Glarry BCP Jackson Zuwei, guitars off amazon this Epiphone SG was the worst guitar out of the box I ever had the displeasure of receiving. I kept the guitar and did all the fret filing and dressing myself I wound up with a playable guitar. If you want to take the chance on this guitar be prepared to do some work if you get a unit like I did.That said I do not hate on Epiphone my two favorite guitars right now are Epiphone branded one being a Les Paul Standard and the other is a DC Pro. The latter was ordered here on Amazon and zero issues on it I just wonder why the disparity in quality here.

Great straight out of the box (after the obligatory 24-hour temperature adjustment period as recommended), the guitar had great action and string height, with no blemishes or faults, the craftmanship was as expected but also surprising given the cheap cost of the instrument. The neck profile is slim and great for my small hands! Overall I can't fault it and would recommend to any beginner.
