Epiphone 'Inspired By Gibson' 1964 SG Standard w/ Maestro Vibrola (Cherry Red) Inc Case

Legendary guitarists like Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, and Joe Walsh have all reached for the iconic 1960 Gibson Les Paul™ Standard, cementing its status as one of the world’s most sought–after vintage instruments. Building on the renowned 1959 model, the 1960 version introduced the thinner, faster–playing SlimTaper™ neck profile that many players favour over its beefier predecessor, making it a standout choice for those seeking both vintage tone and modern playability.

The Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue brings this legendary guitar within reach, created in partnership with Gibson Custom to capture the authentic vintage Les Paul aesthetic and performance. This faithful recreation features all the classic appointments that define the 1960 model, including a one–piece mahogany neck with long neck tenon construction for enhanced stability and sustain, plus the comfortable SlimTaper™ profile that made the original so desirable. The bound rosewood fretboard showcases mother–of–pearl trapezoid inlays, while the headstock displays an aged mother–of–pearl Epiphone logo and gold–silkscreened “Les Paul Model” text on the Gibson–style “open book” design.

Premium construction continues with the genuine mahogany body and carved maple cap, topped with stunning AAA flamed maple veneer and finished in Vintage Gloss for an authentic aged appearance. The electronics package impresses with two USA Gibson Custombucker humbucking pickups featuring Alnico 3 magnets, hand–wired to CTS™ potentiometers, Black Beauty paper–in–oil capacitors, and Switchcraft™ components throughout. Nickel hardware includes Epiphone Deluxe “Double Ring” Keystone button tuners, while a brown hardshell case with Inspired by Gibson Custom graphics and pink plush lining completes the package. This instrument perfectly suits players who appreciate the vintage appeal of the classic 1959 Les Paul Standard but prefer the more comfortable neck profile that made the 1960 model special.
