Epiphone Original SG Special P-90

The Epiphone Original SG Special P-90 and the Gibson USA SG Standard share the fundamental SG Double Cut body shape, 6-string count, and right-handed orientation, making them fundamentally similar instruments. A key distinction lies in their construction: the Epiphone utilizes a glued (set-in) neck, while the Gibson features a screwed (bolt-on) neck, which can influence sustain and feel. Furthermore, the two models diverge in their fretboard radius; the Epiphone is fitted with a tighter 12-inch radius compared to the Gibson's flatter 14-inch radius, affecting string bending comfort. While both feature an SH pickup configuration, the overall feel and playability are subtly shaped by these structural and radius variations. If you prefer the traditional feel associated with glued necks and a tighter radius, the Epiphone may be preferable, whereas the Gibson offers a distinct neck attachment method.
