With the Epiphone Power Players SG, Epiphone addresses young beginners and experienced players looking for a handy travel guitar. For this purpose, the original design of the SG was slightly scaled down and provided with a shortened 577 mm scale length to improve playability for children and teenagers and to make the first riffs and licks as easy as possible. But also adult guitarists will appreciate the Power Players SG as a compact travel guitar and perfect companion for on the road or as a comfortable sofa instrument with its smooth bendings and simplified layer play. Furthermore, the Epiphone Power Players SG provides useful accessories to make the first lessons on the new instrument as easy as possible.
The body design of the Epiphone Power Players SG follows the official shape of the legendary SG with reduced dimensions. Thus, the mahogany body offers improved handling with reduced weight and features a contoured neck foot that optimizes access to the high fingerboard positions. The neck is also made of mahogany and features a slim taper D profile on the back for an uncramped thumb rest for ideal implementation of first playing techniques.
In order to skilfully realize the entire sound of the legendary SG, Epiphone gives the Power Players SG two Epiphone 650R and 700T humbuckers known from the larger models. The 650R on the neck delivers warm and vocal neck sounds, while the 700T in bridge position presents itself as a perfect pickup for hot sounds of rock and metal. Both pickups have separate volume and tone controls and are selected via a three-position toggle switch.
The extensive accessories of the Epiphone Power Players SG provide everything you need to get started right away! The practical Epiphone gig bag is perfect for transporting to lessons or first rehearsals and has a water-repellent outer cover and a generous accessory compartment. Here you can easily store the included picks, the strap for playing standing up and the instrument cable for connecting the electric guitar to amplifiers or effects units.
