Epiphone Inspired By SG Standard '60s Vice City Blue - EISS6VCBNH

’60s SG Feel with a SlimTaper Neck and Hotter Bridge Pickup

The Epiphone Inspired By SG Standard ’60s in Vice City Blue keeps the defining features of an early-style SG intact: a lightweight-feeling double-cutaway mahogany body, glued-in mahogany neck and the smaller pickguard associated with the original ’60s design. The deep cutaways leave the upper frets easy to reach, while the 628.65 mm (24.75") scale and SlimTaper C neck keep the fretting feel quick without reducing the neck to an ultra-thin profile.

The bound rosewood fingerboard has a 12" radius and 22 Medium Jumbo frets, giving bends plenty of room to travel cleanly while still feeling comfortable for chords. A Graph Tech nut and Epiphone Deluxe tuners provide a solid foundation for tuning stability, while the LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece give you straightforward control over action and intonation.

The ProBucker 2 neck pickup delivers a smoother, rounder voice, while the hotter ProBucker 3 bridge pickup adds more bite and output for driven rhythm and lead work. Each pickup has its own volume and tone controls, so you can balance the two independently and get more use out of the middle toggle position rather than treating it as a fixed blend.

The Vice City Blue finish gives this SG a distinctly Miami-inspired look, with the vivid tropical blue body set against a black pickguard, pickup rings and control plastics. The bright body colour and metallic hardware create a sharp, almost neon-era contrast that feels much more playful and eye-catching than a traditional SG finish. A premium Epiphone gig bag is included.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the SG Standard ’60s suits players who want the fast access and direct response that make the SG such a natural rock guitar, but with enough control range to cover cleaner and lower-gain work as well. The SlimTaper C neck and slightly hotter bridge pickup give this version a particularly immediate feel when you start pushing an amp.
