For some, the size and scope of a full-scale electric guitar can be intimidating. At Sweetwater, we believe that nothing should come between you and your creativity, and the Epiphone Power Players SG is a fantastic solution to this problem. Tailor-made for beginner guitarists and players with small hands, the Power Players SG sports a shorter scale length and slimmed-down body, ensuring easier playability for younger players while maintaining the core of what makes an SG so special. Its full-sounding mahogany body joins a bolt-on mahogany neck cut to a flawless SlimTaper "D" profile for comfortable, speedy fretting in all positions. Epiphone's 700T and 650R humbuckers dish out that coveted SG flair with ease, with individual volume and tone knobs fine-tuning your sound to taste. Small on size yet big on sound, the Epiphone Power Players SG is ready to rock whenever you are.





Fine-tuned for younger players with plentiful accessories





Where the Power Players SG truly shines is in its unique and player-focused optimizations throughout. This comes in the form of a shorter, 22.73-inch scale length and a smaller body, solidifying this 6-string as an excellent choice for younger players and anyone with smaller hands, or those in need of a portable axe dishing out high-octane performance. Additionally, a sculpted neck heel allows easy access to the Power Players SG's upper frets, critical during those searing solos that skyrocket up the fingerboard. Epiphone included a handy set of accessories to get you started right out the box, including a strap, picks, an instrument cable, and a gig bag for safe storage.





Classic SG tone courtesy of Epiphone humbuckers





The sound of an SG can be heard across countless recordings in practically every genre imaginable. To deliver this iconic tone, Epiphone went with a pair of in-house designed humbuckers tailor-made to conjure the warmth, richness, and power of a vintage set. When it comes to hot and heavy lead tones, the 700T in the bridge fits the bill, perfect for hard rockers of all stripes needing power and clean-cutting clarity onstage. Flip to the 650R in the neck, and you'll encounter a thicker, mellower sound, ideal for rhythm playing and cleaner passages. With humbuckers like these, you can rip through your favorite songs while forging your own sonic path!
