The Epiphone SG Tribute Plus expands the beloved Tribute Series, offering beginner and intermediate players a high-quality instrument that delivers professional tone, playability, and style—all at an affordable price. Designed to make learning, practicing, and performing an enjoyable experience, the SG Tribute Plus captures the essence of the classic Gibson SG while bringing it into a modern, player-friendly package.
The SG Tribute Plus features a classic SG-shaped body crafted from solid mahogany, topped with a flame maple veneer that adds visual depth and sophistication. Its lightweight, beveled body design provides superb comfort whether you’re practicing at home or performing live.
The bolt-on mahogany neck is shaped in Epiphone’s fast 60s SlimTaper Rounded C profile, offering a smooth, comfortable feel ideal for players of all levels. The neck’s tapered heel joint allows for easier upper-fret access, while the bound laurel fingerboard features 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid trapezoid inlays for a timeless look and feel.
The iconic 60s-style Kalamazoo headstock is fitted with dependable die-cast tuning machines for rock-solid stability. Under the hood, a pair of Epiphone humbuckers—an Epiphone 650R in the neck and a 700T in the bridge—deliver powerful, full-bodied tone driven by ceramic magnets. These pickups excel in everything from warm, rich cleans to bold, cutting overdrives.
Anchoring the setup is an Epiphone LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge paired with a LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece, providing easy adjustability, excellent sustain, and precise intonation. The SG Tribute Plus combines legendary design with modern dependability, making it an outstanding choice for your first electric guitar or as an upgrade that will continue to inspire as your skills grow.
An optional Epiphone gig bag or hardshell case is available separately.
