Epiphone SG Special P-90, Cherry Red - Nearly New Overview

The Epiphone SG Special P-90 in Cherry Red brings back the stripped-back charm and snarling character of the early '60s original. Designed as the middle ground between the SG Junior and the SG Standard, the Special kept the attitude while offering players more tonal versatility and a step up in features. This modern Inspired by Gibson version stays true to that spirit, keeping the look, feel and sound that made the model a favourite across generations.

With a solid mahogany body and a '60s SlimTaper neck, this SG feels lively and effortless to play. The bound rosewood fingerboard, pearloid dot inlays and Kalamazoo headstock give it a proper vintage vibe, while the compensated wraparound bridge adds sustain and rock-solid intonation. A pair of Epiphone P-90 PRO Soapbars provide growling mids, chimey cleans and the kind of dynamic punch that cuts through a mix. Whether it's mellow blues or aggressive rock, the SG Special P-90 responds with clarity, grit and character. Finished in Cherry Red and supplied with a premium gig bag, it’s perfect for anyone chasing iconic SG tones without the extra frills.

Vintage-inspired design

The SG Special P-90 keeps the essential details that made the original such a hit with players. From its lightweight mahogany body to the clean, unfussy control layout, it has the simplicity and style that defined the early '60s versions. The Cherry Red finish, pearloid dots and Kalamazoo-style headstock match the look seen on countless classic recordings, giving the guitar a genuinely retro feel without trying too hard.

Lively and comfortable neck

The '60s SlimTaper neck profile is built for smooth, fast playing, whether you’re strumming chord progressions or pushing bends high up the neck. The bound rosewood fingerboard feels great under the fingers and adds a touch of class to the overall build. Its 22 medium-jumbo frets make it easy to play confidently with clean note definition, giving you a neck that works well for both beginners and seasoned SG fans.

Expressive P-90 tone

The twin P-90 PRO pickups are the heart of this guitar, offering a wide dynamic range with plenty of midrange punch. Roll back the volume for sweet, jangly cleans or push it wide open for gritty overdrive that stays articulate. These pickups excel at cutting through busy mixes and deliver that unmistakable P-90 snarl that sits somewhere between a humbucker’s fullness and a single coil’s bite, making the guitar incredibly versatile.

Simple but effective hardware

The compensated wraparound bridge keeps things straightforward while still offering excellent sustain and solid intonation. Paired with Epiphone Deluxe tuners and a GraphTech nut, the guitar stays stable under heavy playing and handles tuning changes without complaint. With its included premium gig bag and no-fuss setup, the SG Special P-90 is a dependable workhorse suited to rehearsals, gigs and home studio sessions alike.
