Epiphone SG Modern Figured Purple Burst
Product information "Epiphone SG Modern Figured Purple Burst"
In addition to the original series, which includes replicas of classic Gibson guitars, Epiphone also has guitars from the Modern series. These guitars are based on classic instruments, but have various practical updates. The guitars in this series offer maximum playing comfort: the neck is dressed in a flat custom C profile. In terms of hardware and electronics, the SG Modern Figured corresponds to the Pro series: Locktone Bridge and Tailpiece, as well as Alnico Classic Pro humbuckers that can be split using a push/pull potentiometer - the volume pots are equipped with treble bleed circuitry. The headstock has also changed: it corresponds to the Epiphone head from the early 70s.

When you think of Epiphone you naturally think of Gibson, since the maker of guitars, basses, amplifiers and accessories has been part of that company since 1957. Epiphone mainly offers instruments in the lower to mid price range. That means beginners can pick up electric guitar and bass classics such as Les Paul, SG, Explorer, Firebird, ES-335 or Thunderbird for little money. There are also instruments from earlier Epiphone eras like Casino, Wildkat, Riviera and Wilshire. In particular, Epiphone's beginner sets for electric guitar, acoustic guitar and electric bass are worth a close look for newcomers.
