Epiphone EBB0CHCH SG E1 Short Scale Bass (Cherry)The Epiphone EBB0CHCH EB 0 bass makes the authentic SG shape available to all bass players with its easy to play short scale, narrow neck and total fret access. It seems incredible in hindsight but in the early 1960s, the Kalamazoo factory, home to both Epiphone and Gibson instruments, ceased production of the Les Paul guitar and in its place, created the "SG" design. And as it so often does, changes in guitar design also influenced bass design, too.
