"Inspired by the 1960's classic with Alnico Classic PRO™ humbuckers, this Epiphone SG Custom recreates the legendary 1960s era SG with LP-Custom style binding that became a hard rock and heavy metal classic. The SG Custom debuted in 1961 to replace the Les Paul Custom and was initially dubbed Les Paul Custom. When the original style Les Pauls returned later in the '60s, the SG was born. This Epiphone SG Custom features an Ebony fingerboard, LP Custom style inlay, gold hardware, and Alnico Classic PRO™ humbuckers with CTS electronics."
