Gibson Murphy Lab 1964 SG Standard Electric Guitar with Maestro Vibrola Light Aged Pelham Blue

The 1964 SG Standard stands as one of Gibson's most celebrated designs, and now the Custom Shop has meticulously recreated this legendary instrument with their newest Historic Reissue. This particular model year marked a turning point for the SG series, featuring significant improvements including the reliable Maestro Vibrola replacing the problematic side-pull vibrato system, and a substantially chunky neck profile that mirrors the beloved 1959 Les Paul™ specifications.

Gibson Custom Shop represents the absolute peak of lutherie craftsmanship, with each instrument honouring the company's storied heritage through meticulous accuracy and authentic construction methods. The 1964 SG Standard Reissue showcases hyper-accurate vintage specifications throughout, from chemically-recreated plastics to replica electronics, all built using original construction techniques that defined the golden era of electric guitar manufacturing.

What sets this reissue apart is the Murphy Lab Light Aging treatment, expertly applied by skilled artisans to simulate decades of natural play wear. This finishing process, combined with appropriately aged hardware, creates the distinctive character and feel of an original 1964 example. The result captures the balance, playability, and iconic appearance that made this model year so special — the same qualities that attracted legends like George Harrison and Eric Clapton to their '64 SG™ Standards.
