Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 1964 SG Standard w/ Maestro, Ultra Light Aged, Cherry Red Overview
Regardless of the fact that George Harrison and Eric Clapton rocked a '64 SG Standard, that model year was a standout for SGs in general. The clunky sidepull vibrato had been replaced by the dependable Maestro Vibrola. The neck profiles increased in size, resembling the profile found on 1959 Les Pauls. And the balance, playability and look of the SG came into its own. For all those reasons, the Gibson Custom Shop is proud to present the 1964 SG Standard Reissue. Along with the Maestro Vibrola and chunky neck profile, it has all the hyper accurate vintage specs one could possibly want - original construction methods, a real red aniline dye finish, replica electronics, and more. It also features Ultra Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of light play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.
