The popular Epiphone Tribute series has long been a gateway into the world of Epiphone guitars for countless players, offering quality craftsmanship and classic tone at an incredible value. Now, the lineup expands with the Epiphone SG Tribute Plus — a striking, performance-ready instrument designed for beginners and intermediate players seeking a guitar that won’t hold them back.
With its iconic Gibson SG body shape, powerful humbuckers, and fast-playing neck, the SG Tribute Plus combines classic looks with modern reliability — making it a perfect choice for your first serious electric guitar or as an upgrade from an entry-level instrument.
The SG Tribute Plus features a traditional mahogany body with the legendary beveled SG contours, topped with a flame maple veneer for added visual appeal. Its bolt-on mahogany neck is shaped with a 60s SlimTaper Rounded C profile that feels comfortable in the hand and allows smooth access across the fretboard, enhanced further by a tapered heel joint for upper-fret comfort.
The bound laurel fingerboard features 22 medium jumbo frets with pearloid trapezoid inlays, while the headstock sports the classic 60s Kalamazoo shape and reliable die-cast tuners.
Equipped with Epiphone 650R (neck) and 700T (bridge) ceramic magnet humbuckers, the SG Tribute Plus delivers a full-bodied, modern tone that’s ideal for rock, blues, and everything in between. Paired with the LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece, this SG provides excellent sustain, tuning stability, and easy setup adjustment.
Available in stunning finishes like Cherry Burst, Ebony Burst, and Vintage Sunburst, the SG Tribute Plus elevates the Tribute series with improved tone, style, and performance — all while remaining accessible to players everywhere.
Optional Epiphone gig bag or hardshell case available separately.
