What’s new for Epiphone SG 2025, you ask? Their beloved Modern series is getting an update. Gibson’s subsidiary is releasing both new SG Standard and SG Custom models.
Epiphone SG 2025: SG Custom in Black and White!
For the SG Custom range of the Modern series, Epiphone is releasing two colors: Alpine White* and Ebony*. They’re also offering a left-handed ebony version*. Each model is part of the “Inspired by Gibson” collection and comes with the typical double-cutaway mahogany body.
Glued-in mahogany neck (1960 Slim Taper C profile), ebony fretboard with Custom pearloid block inlays (12″ radius) with 22 medium jumbo frets: it’s what SG fans know and love. These models also include gold hardware, giving them a luxurious aura.
For Epiphone SG 2025, the manufacturer has opted for Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners, a Graph Tech nut, and a fully adjustable LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece. So, the tuning of these models should be rock-solid! As for pickups, you get ProBucker Custom humbuckers, each with individual volume and tone controls. There is also a three-way switch for switching and combining the two buckers. Both SG Custom models are available at Thomann for 749 euros each with an estimated 2-3 weeks delivery time.
Cherry, Ebony, and TV Yellow: The New SG Standard Models
For the Epiphone SG 2025 release, the manufacturer is also updating the SG Standard models of the Modern series. These models come with the typical contoured, double-cutaway mahogany body and glued-in mahogany neck (SlimTaper C profile), but it’s a bound Indian laurel fretboard with pearloid trapezoid inlays compared to the SG Custom models. You also get 22 medium jumbo frets at a 12″ radius and a 24.75 scale
These SGs come in three colors: classic Cherry* (with an additional lefty version*), Ebony*, and TV Yellow*. I must say, that yellow model has a certain look to it! In terms of the hardware (classic nickel finish), you get Grover Rotomatic tuners, a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece and a Graph Tech nut. A ProBucker 2 is installed in the neck position, while a slightly hotter ProBucker 3 sits at the bridge position. Each SG Standard is available at Thomann for 649 euros.
