Epiphone SG Express Electric Guitar (Assorted Colors)

Epiphone's new SG-Express captures the look, sound and feel of their famous SG's but in a slightly smaller package that's perfect for younger players or for travel use. The neck has the small basic dimensions as a full-size guitar but the scale length is only 22.0" as compared to 24.75" on a full-size SG. The result is a guitar that's more comfortable to play - especially for smaller players - while still maintaining good string tension when tuned to standard "E".

Great Design Features!

While the new SG-Express is a real SG, Epiphone has incorporated in some unique design features to ensure that the guitar performs well. First, while the body is still Mahogany the neck on the Express is Hard Maple as opposed to the traditional Mahogany neck. This gives the guitar a little more high-end "bite" or brighter tone which effectively offsets the slightly looser string tension due to the shorter scale length.

Additionally, the combination of the fully-adjustable "fixed" bridge with a string-through body design fits well on the smaller size body while adding sustain and making string changes a breeze. Finally, the neck is bolted in place securely using 4 recessed bolts set into a tapered heel making upper fret access easier and very comfortable.

Premium Additions!

With the slightly looser string tension, it's even more important to have great tuners. Epiphone designed the new Express with premium, 14:1 ratio diecast tuners to give you excellent tuning accuracy and stability. As a bonus, a custom "Express sized" padded gigbag is included with every guitar making it the perfect travel companion.

Peace of Mind!

As with all Epiphone's, the Express includes Epiphone's Limited Lifetime Warranty and is backed by their famous 24/7/365 Customer Service. So what are you waiting for? Express yourself today with the new Epiphone SG-Express.
