Gibson Murphy Lab 1964 SG Standard with Maestro Vibrola (Faded Cherry) - Heavy Aged

The 1964 SG Standard stands as one of Gibson's most celebrated achievements, marking the year when this iconic guitar truly found its voice. Gibson Custom Shop honours this legendary instrument with meticulous attention to detail, celebrating the brand's heritage through uncompromising accuracy and authenticity.

What made the '64 SG so special? The troublesome side-pull vibrato was finally replaced with the reliable Maestro™ Vibrola, whilst the neck profiles grew substantially to match those found on 1959 Les Pauls™. This combination gave the SG its distinctive balance, enhanced playability, and that unmistakable look that defined the model. Notable players like George Harrison and Eric Clapton recognised the '64 SG™ Standard's exceptional qualities, cementing its place in rock history.

The Gibson Custom Shop 1964 SG Standard Reissue captures every vintage specification with remarkable precision. Original construction methods are employed alongside genuine red aniline dye finishes, chemically-recreated plastics, and replica electronics. The Murphy Lab Heavy Aging treatment adds decades of simulated play wear to both the finish and hardware, creating the authentic character and feel of a genuine Golden Era Gibson.
