1996 Epiphone by Gibson SG Standard (G-400) - Cherry - Made in Korea

Description

A 1996 Epiphone by Gibson SG Standard in Cherry, built in Korea at the famous Samick factory, is a mid-’90s take on the classic SG recipe: slim, double-horn mahogany-style body with deep bevels, a set neck, full batwing pickguard, and dual humbuckers into the familiar 2-volume / 2-tone with 3-way toggle layout. These Samick-made models are known for solid build quality, tidy fretwork for the price tier, and the bright-yet-warm voice you expect from an SG.
