Mahogany Body Delivers Classic SG Style and Resonance
The SG Tribute stays true to the unmistakable double-cutaway design that has made the SG one of the most recognizable electric guitars for generations. Its solid mahogany body provides a warm, resonant foundation with rich midrange character and natural sustain, complementing the powerful response of the ceramic humbuckers. The familiar beveled contours and sharply pointed horns give the guitar its distinctive appearance while providing comfortable handling and easy access to the upper register. Guitar Center Exclusive finishes in Pelham Blue, Classic White, Sparkling Burgundy and Graphite offer a fresh range of elegant visual options, bringing individual style to the SG's enduring design.
60s SlimTaper Mahogany Neck Delivers Comfortable Playability
The SG Tribute features a bolt-on mahogany neck with Epiphone's 60s SlimTaper C profile, offering a slim, comfortable feel that supports fluid movement across the fingerboard. Its 24.75" scale provides the familiar string tension and playing response associated with classic SG guitars, while the 12"-radius laurel fingerboard creates a comfortable surface for chord work, expressive bends and lead playing. Twenty-two frets extend the playing range, complemented by traditional dot inlays for straightforward navigation. Fingerboard binding adds a refined finishing touch, giving the SG Tribute a polished appearance while preserving the direct, approachable feel at the heart of its design.
Epiphone Ceramic Humbuckers Deliver Powerful, Punchy SG Tone
A pair of Epiphone ceramic humbuckers gives the SG Tribute a bold, responsive electric voice with plenty of punch and definition. The 650R neck pickup delivers warm, full-bodied tones with a rounded response suited to rich chords and smooth lead lines, while the 700T bridge humbucker provides stronger attack, pronounced mids and the output needed for aggressive rhythm playing and saturated leads. Nickel pickup covers complement the guitar's classic appearance, while a three-way toggle offers straightforward access to either humbucker or both together. Shared master volume and tone controls keep sound shaping intuitive, allowing players to move between different textures without the complexity of a traditional four-knob SG layout.
LockTone Bridge and Stopbar Tailpiece Support Stable Performance
The SG Tribute pairs a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge with a matching stopbar tailpiece for a familiar fixed-bridge setup designed around reliable performance and straightforward adjustment. The bridge provides individual saddle intonation adjustments, while the stopbar creates a solid string anchor that supports sustain and consistent response. Premium die-cast tuning machines with a 15:1 gear ratio offer smooth, precise tuning adjustments, complemented by nickel hardware that matches the covered humbuckers. A synthetic Urite nut completes the string path, while an included deluxe gig bag provides convenient protection for rehearsals, lessons and transport between sessions.
Classic SG Attitude With Exclusive Guitar Center Style
The Epiphone SG Tribute captures the essential appeal of the SG in a streamlined instrument built for everyday playing. Its mahogany construction and comfortable 60s SlimTaper C neck preserve the familiar feel of the design, while powerful ceramic humbuckers provide the punch, warmth and versatility to handle a wide range of musical approaches. Dependable LockTone hardware and simplified controls keep the playing experience direct and uncomplicated, making the guitar equally appealing to developing players and experienced musicians seeking an affordable SG. As Epiphone's most accessible SG offering, the Tribute combines unmistakable style and substantial character with exclusive Guitar Center finishes and the added convenience of an included gig bag.
