The Epiphone SG Special With Kill Switch is an incredible way to get real SG tone and styling without breaking the bank. In 1961, the original Les Paul shape was redesigned into a light, double-cutaway design. That new design soon became known as the “SG” and now, along with the original Les Paul, is the iconic “rock” guitar. Epiphone’s G-400 and G-310 SG models have been best sellers in the guitar market for over 15 years featuring the carved SG-body shape at a “workingman’s” price. In the summer of 1999, Epiphone introduced the SG Special making it the most affordable SG on the market today.

A Genuine SG, Made RightThis guitar, with its devilish double-cutaway design, reigns supreme in access to all of its 22 frets. The bolt-on hard maple neck provides rigidity and durability to create a delightfully playable feel, while the SlimTaper neck profile is fast and comfortable. The sumptuous rosewood fingerboard carries 22-frets that are adorned with stylish dot position inlays. A pair of hot open-coil, noise-free Humbucking pickups voiced specifically for the bridge position (700T) and neck position (650R) give you authentic rock tone with just the right amount of grit and growl.
