Epiphone Fatoumata Diawara SG

Fatoumata Diawara is one of the most prominent voices in contemporary African music. A guitarist, singer-songwriter, and GRAMMY® nominee, she has developed a personal style that blends Wassoulou tradition with modern and global sounds. Her artistic journey and cultural significance have led to a historic collaboration with Epiphone, culminating in her first signature guitar: the Epiphone Fatoumata Diawara SG, the first Epiphone signature model created for a woman of color.

Based on the Muse SG, this SG interprets Fatoumata's style in a direct and personal manner. The mahogany body features her signature graphics, while the mahogany neck with a Custom "C" profile ensures smooth and comfortable playability.

The rosewood fingerboard, equipped with 22 medium jumbo frets and Pearloid Trapezoid inlays, completes an elegant yet understated aesthetic.

The electronics comprise two Epiphone Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers, connected to a modern circuit designed for maximum versatility. The volume controls with push/pull functionality allow for coil-splitting, while one of the tone controls includes a phase reversal, further expanding the tonal range available.

The hardware includes gold-plated components, a LockTone™ bridge and tailpiece, and Epiphone locking tuners, a combination designed to ensure tuning stability, reliability, and playing comfort.
