Epiphone SG Special P-90 - Cherry Red

Raw P-90 bite with classic SG punch and zero distractions

The Epiphone SG Special P-90 in Cherry Red is all about getting straight to the point: lightweight feel, snarling tone and unapologetic rock ’n’ roll attitude. Inspired by the stripped-back SGs of the early ’60s, this guitar delivers vintage-flavoured sound and fast playability in a no-nonsense package that rewards players who like their tone raw and responsive.

The mahogany body keeps things light and resonant, giving the SG Special its famously lively feel and strong midrange punch. Comfortable, slim and perfectly balanced, it’s a joy to play whether you’re standing on stage or sitting down writing riffs. Finished in classic Cherry Red, it looks every bit the rock icon it’s meant to be.

A mahogany neck with a comfortable profile makes moving up and down the fretboard effortless, while the laurel fingerboard offers a smooth, familiar feel under the fingers. With its straightforward layout and unfussy design, this SG invites you to focus on playing rather than tweaking.

The real star of the show is the pair of P-90 pickups. Thick, punchy and full of character, they sit perfectly between single-coil clarity and humbucker muscle. Expect chiming cleans when you roll things back, and gritty, aggressive bite when you dig in — ideal for blues, punk, garage rock, classic rock and indie tones. With individual volume and tone controls and a three-way selector, you’ve got a surprising range of sounds on tap without ever losing that unmistakable P-90 edge.

Simple, powerful and endlessly fun to play, the Epiphone SG Special P-90 is a reminder that great tone doesn’t need bells and whistles — just good wood, great pickups and your hands. Exactly the kind of guitar we love seeing players fall in love with here at Musicmaker.
