The Gibson Custom 1964 SG Standard Reissue with Maestro Vibrola is a tribute to one of the most iconic guitars of the rock era. Crafted in the legendary Murphy Lab, this electric guitar is a masterful re-creation of the '64 SG Standard, revered by guitar legends like Eric Clapton and George Harrison. The Ultra Light Aged finish gives it a vintage look with lacquer checking that makes it feel like a cherished heirloom. The body and neck are both crafted from lightweight mahogany, providing a comfortable playing experience while delivering that classic mid-range punch.

The guitar's heart and soul lie in its dual CustomBucker Alnico III pickups, offering a warm, rich sound that captures the essence of vintage PAF tones. These hand-wound pickups are unpotted, delivering a transparent sound with character. The Maestro Vibrola tailpiece adds a touch of ‘60s flair, allowing for smooth vibrato effects reminiscent of the era's greatest hits. The meticulously crafted medium C-shaped neck, with its Indian rosewood fretboard and rolled edges, offers a comfortable and authentic playing experience, taking you back to the golden age of rock.

This SG Standard is equipped with historically accurate hardware, including an ABR-1 tune-o-matic bridge and Kluson tuners, all with a vintage patina for an authentic look. Complete with a certificate of authenticity and a classic brown and pink reissue hardshell case, this guitar is not just an instrument but a piece of history.
