The vintage style black controls with metal inserts include Neck Volume and Tone and Bridge Volume and Tone, allowing for an infinite variety of tone combinations. But P90s really shine in solidbody guitars and the mix of mahogany and Alnico P90s gives the Epiphone '1961' SG Special Outfit a unique sound that is both modern and classic. P90s were preferred by early electric jazz guitarists for their horn-like tone on archtop guitars. The Alnico P-90R Soapbar neck pickup and the Alnico P-90T Soapbar bridge pickup are perfect for players who want elements of both single and double coil sounds in one pickup. Original Premium Electronics: No detail of the Epiphone '1961' SG Special Outfit has been missed. And like vintage SGs, the Epiphone '1961' SG Special Outfit has a handset 24.75' neck with a 12' radius, a Rosewood fingerboard, a 1.68' nut width for tuning stability during bends, Wilkinson(tm) Vintage 14:1 Ivory Button machine heads, and a classic 60's era Epiphone logo on the headstock. Classic Vintage Styling and Unique Features: Like the original, The Epiphone Limited Edition 50th Anniversary '1961' SG Special Outfit features a Mahogany body and Mahogany neck with a SlimTaper(tm) 1960's D-Profile.
