Crafted by Gibson's elite Custom Shop luthiers, this guitar transports you back to the golden era of rock with its meticulous attention to detail and heritage-inspired features.

The bound Indian rosewood fingerboard, equipped with Plek'd medium-jumbo frets, guarantees smooth playability that keeps you in the groove for hours on end.

The guitar's Vintage Original Sheen finish, with its subtle aging, provides an authentic patina reminiscent of a beautifully preserved vintage instrument. This finish not only enhances the guitar's aesthetics but also contributes to its superior tonal qualities.

In this interview with Premier Guitar, Nick Perri says:

So this is the SG. My daughter named this guitar "The Cat's Squirrel." I told her she had to pick the name of a Cream song, because this is a '64 reissue, same type of vibe that Clapton had in his time with Cream. George Harrison as well. This is a Custom Shop '64 reissue. Another example of Gibson just hitting it out of the park in the last few years. The guitar is just incredible.
