2023 Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab 1964 SG Standard Maestro Cherry Red Ultra Light Aging







2023 Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab 1964 SG Standard Maestro Cherry Red Ultra Light Aging
1964 was a standout year for SG design, and the 1964 SG Standard Reissue captures it in hyper-accurate detail. In that year, the clunky side-pull vibrato was replaced with the reliable Maestro Vibrola, and the neck profiles were enlarged, giving the SG an ideal balance, playability, and aesthetic appeal. This SG Standard Reissue has even been very lightly aged using the Murphy Lab aging process for added vintage charm.
Featuring original construction methods, a genuine cherry red aniline dye finish, chemically recreated plastics, and replica electronics, this guitar comes equipped with a duo of Gibson Alnico III unpotted Custom Buckers, offering bite and a super responsive, well-rounded tone. Perfect for players seeking the authentic Gibson PAF tone, these pickups deliver clarity, definition, and punch—everything you could desire from an SG. Equipped with a Maestro Vibrola, you’ll enjoy smooth vibrato along with a classic Gibson aesthetic. This guitar may well be the best-looking, best-feeling, and best-sounding SG Reissue to date.
