This is a 3 part series. Unboxing, Tone Demo, and then my thoughts/my review of the guitar. It's a different format for sure, but let's see how it goes.
This guitar is essentially a replica of the Gibson Custom 63 Reissue SG, but built in a way that most normal players can afford. This is a limited edition guitar that was exclusively available from Long & McQuade in Canada. They had about 250 made for the Canadian market.
If you come across this guitar as a dealer exclusive, let me know! I'd love to see how often these pop up as dealer exclusives.

Model# EISC3CWGM
Limited Edition
Inspired by the 1960's classic with Alnico Classic PRO™ humbuckers, this Epiphone SG Custom recreates the legendary 1960s era SG with LP-Custom style binding that became a hard rock and heavy metal classic. The SG Custom debuted in 1961 to replace the Les Paul Custom and was initially dubbed Les Paul Custom. When the original style Les Pauls returned later in the '60s, the SG was born. This Epiphone SG Custom features an Ebony fingerboard, LP Custom style inlay, gold hardware, and Alnico Classic PRO™ humbuckers with CTS electronics.
