The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Mahogany body with set neck construction; dual ceramic pickups with punchy midrange clarity; 24-fret rosewood fingerboard; left-handed configuration rarely found at this price point; lightweight SG body geometry reduces fatigue during extended play sessions
Left-handed players should verify local accessory availability before purchase. Entry-level amplifier recommended for proper tone development. Case not included; protect investment with separate hardcase. Setup may require minor truss rod adjustment upon arrival.
A rare left-handed entry at mid-budget pricing that refuses compromise on construction quality or tonal character. The SG's ergonomic geometry and capable electronics support serious progression without financial strain or future equipment regret.

A tribute to the Gibson SG and tomorrow’s great players!
The popular Epiphone Tribute series has been a gateway into the world of Epiphone guitars for countless new players. Now, the Tribute series is expanding with the release of the new Epiphone SG™ Tribute Plus. This affordable yet high-quality guitar is designed for beginner and intermediate-level players who want a quality guitar that won’t hold them back or hinder their learning progress. The SG Tribute Plus features a classic Gibson SG-shaped body made from mahogany. It has the iconic beveled mahogany SG body with a flame maple veneer top that looks fantastic. The bolt-on mahogany neck has a fast and easy playing 60s SlimTaper™ Rounded C profile that makes practice sessions and jamming a joy, and a tapered heel joint for improved upper fret access. The headstock features the popular 60s Kalamazoo headstock shape, which is outfitted with quality die-cast tuning machines, and the bound laurel fretboard is outfitted with 22 medium jumbo frets and adorned with pearloid trapezoid inlays.
The SG Tribute Plus is equipped with an Epiphone LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic bridge and LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece that are designed for easy adjustment of string height and intonation, and they contribute to this model’s excellent sustain. The Epiphone SG Tribute Plus is equipped with a pair of Epiphone humbucker™ pickups, with an Epiphone 650R in the neck position and an Epiphone 700T in the bridge position. Both pickups are furnished with powerful ceramic magnets for strong, full-bodied tone. The Epiphone SG Tribute Plus elevates the Tribute series with even more performance and better looks while remaining accessible to players everywhere. It’s a great choice for your first electric guitar or as a step up from a lesser-quality instrument and will serve you well on your musical journey for years to come. An optional Epiphone gig bag or hardshell case is available separately.
