As a neck, mahogany enhances the warmth and softness of the tone and supports the low end.

Neck: The G-310’s “D”-shaped neck is also made of solid mahogany, which is a pretty common neck tonewood to use with mahogany bodied guitars.Unlike the Les Paul’s bulge on the front, the SG is a flat top and has contoured edges and double cutaway horns. Mahogany is found in Central America and Africa and is a semi-dense wood that produces a warm and round tone with nicely balanced harmonic response. Body: Just like its Gibson counterpart, the Epiphone SG body is made out of a single piece of solid mahogany (according to the Epiphone website-although some other sources list the G-310 body as solid alder, strangely enough).Read on to learn more about the specs and sound quality of the Epiphone G-310 SG! Epiphone G-310 SG Specs… The G-310 is modeled after the 1967 version of the Gibson SG, which includes double humbucker pickups, rather than some of the other pickup variations Gibson was using in the early sixties, such a single or double P-90s or triple PAF pickups with gold covers. Epiphone began manufacturing the G-310 SG over 15 years ago, due to such high demand for a cheaper alternative to the famous Gibson SG.
