Gibson Custom

collapse expand iconDescription

Along with the Maestro Vibrola and chunky neck profile, the Gibson Custom 1964 SG Standard Reissue has all the hyper-accurate vintage specs a player could possibly want. Features include original construction methods, a real red aniline dye finish, chemically recreated plastics, replica electronics, and more. As a result, the 1964 SG Standard Reissue is possibly the best-looking, feeling and sounding SG Reissue Gibson Custom has released yet.

1964 was a standout year for Gibson SGs. The clunky side-pull vibrato had been replaced by the dependable Maestro Vibrola. The neck profiles had increased in size, resembling the profile found on 1959 Les Pauls. And the balance, playability and look of the SG seemed to come into its own.
