This SG Custom Isn’t Really an SG…

This Epiphone SG Custom is NOT what I expected… In this deep dive, I go inside a 2003 Korean-made Epiphone SG Custom to find out what’s really going on under the hood. This isn’t your typical SG. We’re talking: 3 humbuckers (with unusual wiring) Les Paul-style pickups inside an SG body Full cavity inspection Neck profile measurements Weight check (and yes… neck dive test) Clean + crunch sound demo 👉 And here’s the twist: This guitar behaves far more like a Les Paul than a traditional SG. If you’ve ever wondered whether older Korean Epiphone SG Customs are hidden gems… this might surprise you. 🔍 What’s covered in this video: 00:00 Intro 00:21 History of the SG Custom 01:40 Unique controls (3 volumes + 1 tone) 01:59 Inside the back cavity 02:36 Neck measurements 04:00 Neck dive test 04:29 Neck profile 05:24 Pickup analysis (surprising discovery) 07:00 Weight 07:59 Pickup readings 08:24 Clean tones 11:27 Crunch tones 12:52 Final verdict 🎸 Key Specs: Mahogany body & neck Rosewood fretboard 3 humbuckers (Les Paul-style configuration) 24.75” scale length Korean-made (2003) ~4kg weight 💭 Final thoughts: This is not a typical SG!
