The Epiphone 1961 Les Paul SG Standard is made in partnership with the Gibson Custom Shop. This Inspired by Gibson™ model is Epiphone’s impressive recreation of one of the most important and popular guitar designs ever made. The Epiphone 1961 Les Paul™ SG™ Standard pays tribute to the legendary original - the very first SG. In 1961, the original shape of the Les Paul model went on hiatus and replaced by an all-new design that is known today as the SG or “solid guitar.”
