Description

The Epiphone SG Special P-90 in Cherry Red brings back the stripped-back charm and snarling character of the early 60s original.

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 its 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 its perfect for anyone chasing iconic SG tones without the extra frills.

P90

P90 pickups are a type of single-coil pickup known for their thick, punchy sound that sits between traditional single-coils and humbuckers. They deliver strong midrange presence with more output and grit than a typical single-coil, while retaining clarity and touch sensitivity.

Tonally, P90s are raw, dynamic, and expressive, offering bright highs, muscular mids, and a slightly gritty edge when pushed. They are widely used in blues, rock, punk, and indie styles, and are valued for their ability to sound articulate when clean and aggressive when driven.
