With a shimmering finish in a colorway exclusive to this model, this unique SG reflects JAY’s passion for chasing dreams and carving your own path
Epiphone has partnered with JAY of K-pop group ENHYPEN to create the first-ever Epiphone Jay “Raoul” SG™ Tribute Plus. Reflecting JAY’s passion for encouraging more people to start playing guitar, this model is based on the Epiphone budget-friendly Tribute Series, making it a great choice for new and budding players to develop their sound.
ENHYPEN debuted in November 2020 through Mnet’s competition show I-LAND. The group broke its first triple million-seller record with its second studio album, 2024’s ROMANCE: UNTOLD. Their third world tour, WALK THE LINE, held from October 2024 to October 2025, drew more than 676,000 global fans across 32 shows across 19 cities, including major dome and stadium venues. Earlier this year, the group’s seventh mini-album THE SIN: VANISH became their fourth double million-seller.
The Epiphone Jay “Raoul” SG Tribute Plus offers the classic Gibson SG shape and is made from mahogany with a maple veneer top, finished in a shimmering gloss Rubine Red. This color is unique to this guitar only and was personally selected by JAY. Combined with black neck binding and a black pickguard, the guitar has a striking, punky look. JAY’s signature is printed on the truss rod cover on the headstock, and the bolt-on plate located on the back of the neck joint is engraved with the respective logos of both Epiphone and JAY.
Further key features include a mahogany neck with a 60s SlimTaper™ Rounded C profile and a tapered heel joint for improved upper fret access. The headstock features the popular 60s Kalamazoo headstock shape, which is fitted with die-cast tuning machines. A bound laurel fretboard is home to 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid trapezoid inlays.
The SG Tribute Plus is also equipped with an Epiphone LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece. As for its tone, this is powered by a pair of Epiphone humbucker™ pickups, with an Epiphone 650R in the neck position and an Epiphone 700T in the bridge position. Both are furnished with powerful ceramic magnets for strong, full-bodied tone.
Additionally, this model comes with four exclusive portrait cards of JAY, four original Epiphone x JAY picks (with one pick autographed by JAY himself), and a premium Epiphone gig bag.
“To all the fans who have supported me, and to everyone who has watched over me since the days when I wasn’t very good at guitar, I hope you can feel the time and effort I’ve put in to grow little by little and reach the point where I can participate in such a wonderful project,” says JAY. “Through this guitar, I hope to convey the importance of hard work, the importance of having dreams, and that heart-pounding, exhilarating feeling.”
