The original studio recording was tracked on acoustic guitar; on a JCM800, plug into the Low Sensitivity input and keep Preamp Gain low (around 2) to prevent breakup. The Epiphone SG's humbuckers are warmer than an acoustic, so selecting the middle position with treble and presence slightly boosted introduces the top-end sparkle and pick definition needed to emulate an acoustic timbre. Note that the JCM800 2203 has no onboard reverb (null).
