The guitar features the historic SG profile with “batwing” pickguard, a pair of Epiphone's Alnico Classic PRO™ humbuckers, and 18:1 ratio Epiphone Deluxe Tuners.

This guitar is in very good condition and has undergone a full setup and inspection from our in-house luthier. The neck is nice and straight, fits comfortably in the hand and shows only light fretwear. Cosmetically there are some small imperfections - there is some light wear around the upper strap button, a scratch at the lower bout on the treble side, some wear to the pickguard and buckle rash on the back of the body, all of which can be seen in photos. Case optional.
