The Epiphone EB-3 SG Style bass guitar is an great reproduction of the Gibson SG bass, one of rock's defining instruments. Authorised by Gibson, Epiphone have brought back this classic early '60s bass. The Epiphone EB-3 bass has a mahogany body and a set mahogany neck to give it the sustain that made the original famous.

A Sidewinder humbucker and mini humbucker deliver the tonal power. The neck profile is fast and comfortable while the chrome hardware, rosewood fingerboard and trapezoid inlays make this bass a joy to play and hear.

In the early 1960s the Kalamazoo factory, home to both Epiphone and Gibson instruments, decided to cease production of the Les Paul guitar. In its place came a radical new guitar design that also influenced the Kalamazoo factory's bass designs. With the Les Paul (temporarily) out of the picture, the SG took over. And for a time during that golden era of manufacturing, the classic SG bass was the historic factory’s sole electric bass.

But the EB “SG” bass was by no means a cast-off. It quickly became one of the most attractive and distinctive basses in rock and players like Bill Wyman of The Rolling Stones, Cream’s Jack Bruce, and The Who’s John Entwistle made rock history on SG-style basses. Now, Epiphone presents the EB-3, a stunning recreation of the vintage marvel with all the tone and feel of the original without the vintage price tag and vintage problems.
