The popular Epiphone Tribute series has introduced countless players to the world of Epiphone guitars. Now, the lineup expands with the release of the Epiphone SG Tribute Plus, an affordable yet high-quality instrument designed for beginner and intermediate players ready to take the next step.
This model captures everything guitarists love about the classic Gibson SG design — sleek looks, lightweight comfort, and powerful tone — while delivering dependable modern performance. Crafted with attention to detail and packed with quality components, the SG Tribute Plus makes practice, jamming, and performing an inspiring experience.
The SG Tribute Plus features a classic mahogany body with the iconic SG bevels, topped with a beautiful flame maple veneer that adds visual depth. The bolt-on mahogany neck is carved to a fast and comfortable 60s SlimTaper Rounded C profile, complete with a tapered heel joint for smooth upper fret access.
A bound laurel fingerboard adds a touch of elegance, offering 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid trapezoid inlays for a timeless look. The 60s Kalamazoo-style headstock is fitted with sturdy die-cast tuners, ensuring rock-solid tuning stability and vintage appeal.
Under the hood, a pair of Epiphone humbuckers — a 650R in the neck and a 700T in the bridge — deliver rich, full-bodied tone driven by powerful ceramic magnets. Combined with the Epiphone LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece, the SG Tribute Plus provides excellent sustain, smooth intonation adjustment, and reliable performance for years to come.
An optional Epiphone gig bag or hardshell case is available separately.
