The EPIPHONE Original Collection SG Special P-90 (EISPFPENH1) solid body electric guitar is part of Epiphone’s Inspired by Gibson Collection and recreates the rare very first 1961 Gibson SG, from its first year of production. Featuring a classic Mahogany body powered by Epiphone P-90-PRO single coil pickups with CTS electronics.
Ever since the arrival of new CEO James "JC" Curleigh in 2018, a wise businessman with a passion for guitars, Gibson quickly gained its nobility back. Large-scale investment were made to renovate manufacturing base, in order to offer better quality instruments, with a more realistic price, and smartly rethought range of products that will satisfy Gibson lovers regardless their budget.
The Epiphone range of instruments follow the same philosophy with :
- recalibrate product architecture based on Original and Inspired By Gibson Collections, leveraging Gibson quality & heritage
- add to Original platform including USA electrics and acoustics and Masterbilt acoustics made overseas
- simplify nomenclature and price/feature benefits – follow Gibson nomenclature for Inspired by Gibson Collection
- influence and inspire new generations of fans with our Artist Collection
- guitars modeled after Gibson shapes will get the classic Epiphone Kalamazoo headstock.
