Fatoumata Diawara is a truly extraordinary artist. A Grammy-nominated guitarist, singer‑songwriter and actress — whose music blends the soulful roots of traditional Wassoulou with vibrant, modern global influences. Born in the Ivory Coast to Malian parents, Fatoumata first made her name as an actress in France before her passion for music took centre stage. Her 2011 debut album Fatou turned heads worldwide, showcasing not only her incredible voice but some seriously tasteful guitar playing too. Since then, she’s built an awe‑inspiring list of collaborators — working with legends like Angélique Kidjo, Oumou Sangaré, Damon Albarn, Paul McCartney and Herbie Hancock.

Fatoumata’s love for the Epiphone Muse SG sparked something special: a full-blown collab resulting in her first-ever signature guitar. The Epiphone Fatoumata Diawara SG takes the spirit of the Muse SG and infuses it with her own unmistakable style!

Premium woods & signature style

You get a classic Mahogany body wrapped in her stunning custom artwork, a set Mahogany neck with a smooth Custom “C” profile and a bound Rosewood fingerboard loaded with 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid trapezoid inlays. Gold hardware throughout — including a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge, LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece and Epiphone locking tuners — keeps everything rock solid, with a Graph Tech nut ensuring stable tuning all night long.

Headstock flair & bold visual details

The headstock sports the Epiphone logo and Gibson Crown in mother-of-pearl, plus a two‑ply truss rod cover engraved with Fatou’s signature in gold — an elegant touch that ties it all together. Red accents on the pickup rings, Speed knobs, control covers and switch tip give the guitar a bold, striking look that stands out on any stage.

Flexible electronics

There’s a pair of Epiphone Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers wired to a modern, super-versatile control layout. Each pickup gets its own volume with push/pull coil‑splits, and one of the tone controls includes a phase switch for those cool, out‑of‑phase sounds when both pickups are on.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.

SG

The Gibson SG (Solid Guitar) is a rock icon with attitude. Introduced in the early 1960s, it took the Les Paul’s power and gave it a sharper, lighter, double-cut design for faster access to higher frets. Its twin humbuckers deliver raw, biting tone and endless sustain — perfect for everything from blues to heavy rock. Played by legends like Angus Young and Tony Iommi, the SG proves that simplicity, style, and sheer power never go out of fashion.
