On mine, it is etched into the pickguard. Seems to be done fairly well for an inexpensive guitar. But remember, if you buy this it will need a setup (about $75) to be really playable. They are mass-produced and the adjustments made at the factory in China are not very accurate.

This loaded pickguard IS of a standard pickguard size and style. I put this loaded pickguard in a 2000's MIM standard strat and it fit perfectly. I didn't have to do any filing. I still can't get over how great this pickguard sounds. IT IS that CLASSIC Bell like tone. My only complaint has been that the 5 way pickup switch seems to have developed a bit of a short when moving between the 4 and 5 position. I'm sure that this is an easy fix.

I believe it is called a pick guard. It comes with the uke but isn't attached. You attach it if you want it. I left it off of mine. Hope this helps.

Yes it has a pick up which is not high end but works pretty good and you can of course plug it into an amp. The guitar itself plays very well and projects a lot more volume than I expected [a good thing] for a slim body guitar.It will sound even better with a better set of strings on it. I am super pleased. The freebee carry bag is junk but that'snot why I bought it , get a decent gig bag for it if you want to travel around with it. The price is a steal - great bang for the buck.

I would be careful trying this as the pick guard seems to be on pretty tight. Be aware that the finish overall is kinda thin. Its not a heavy lacquered finish like on a lot of guitars. If you were going to refinish the whole thing anyway then I think you would be fine.

Mine did not, however, i am sure you can specify a hard case if you so desire. I have two that arrived in cardboard boxes -- one was damaged, and Amazon promptly replaced it, even before they received my return. The "third" guitar arrived in perfect shape in a cardboard box. Amazon service was excellent.

Mine came with the Epiphone Les Paul LTD Special II. A Fantastic Starter guitar. Just love mine. Great package deal and everything came as advertised. Only issue is the practice amp though works well does leave a little to be desired in the sound department. I ordered the all black model but sure you will get the color requested.

It will not come off,its part of the pick guard.This is my husband's and he has many ,many,including a 42 year old rare Gibson,and this accoustic/electric is his top two favorites.He did not have to have it setup,or anything as mentioned in answers.I videoed him playing it out of the box

The Epiphone SG Special guitar is indeed lightweight. I also have a Squier Fat Strat that I really like, but with the Squier you really notice the weight. Compared to the Squier the Epi SG feels like a feather. I really like that. The only downside is the SG is a bit top heavy and the neck tends to dip when used with a strap. I moved the top strap button to the end of the top horn and that counters the tipping a great deal.

Left-handed. The pick guard is on the opposite side and the strings are in reversed order when comparing to a right-handed guitar.

Mine does not have that on it mine says Custom built Limited edition, so I would assume that it was sold and brought back but it shouldnt be stamped in the wood itself. I know for fact that g7bson dont sell b stock its all destroyed and since epi is a gibson co I guess the same rule applies they are wonderful. They play and sound great

No, unfortunately it doesn't come with a "gig bag". Most high end Gibson, Fender, etc...guitars will come with a hard shell case. Most medium price range guitars will come with at least a "soft shell or what's know as a gig bag". As this instrument is on the lower rung "price wise" Epiphone offered neither. It's an AMAZING guitar...well built, incredible sound (a bit on the "bright" side), with a smooth easy breezy neck action. Well worth much more money than Epiphone asks for it. So, don't let the lack of a case dissuade you from purchasing it!! You can get great cases (hard shell or soft shell) on Amazon, American Musical Supply, Sweetwater, or Guitar Center for a very reasonable price. No, unfortunately it doesn't come with a "gig bag".

It has a truss rod cover, but I haven't removed it. Since it's a real Epiphone with warranty, I'm 99.9% sure it does.I've already had warranty service on it for the Fishman preamp.
