Description

Looking back, it is hard to believe that the Kalamazoo facility—where both Gibson and Epiphone instruments were crafted—officially ended Les Paul guitar production during the early 1960s to introduce the SG design. Because shifts in guitar aesthetics frequently dictate trends in bass development, the SG stepped into the void left by the Les Paul. Consequently, for a period throughout that iconic era, the SG bass stood as the only electric bass model produced by the legendary factory.

Yet, the EB "SG" bass was far from a mere afterthought. It rapidly evolved into one of rock music’s most visually striking and recognizable instruments, cementing its place in history through performances by legends such as Bill Wyman of The Rolling Stones, Jack Bruce of Cream, and John Entwistle of The Who. Today, Epiphone introduces the EB-3, an impressive revival that captures the authentic tone and tactile experience of the classic original, all while eliminating the steep costs and maintenance concerns typical of vintage gear.
