Recreate the iconic rock tones of the mid-1960s with this meticulously crafted vintage-inspired solidbody electric.
The 1964 SG Standard Reissue brings back one of the most sought-after solidbody guitars of the era. Meticulously crafted by Gibson Custom Shop, this SG authentically recreates a mid-'60s legend. Its solid mahogany body and neck provide the warmth and sustain the SG is known for. Aged to gently worn perfection, the nitrocellulose cherry red finish and gold hardware gleam with a vintage patina. The medium '60s neck profile plays fast and feels instantly familiar.
PAF-style Humbuckers Power Classic Rock Tone
The 1964 SG Standard Reissue is equipped with a pair of humbucking pickups modeled after Gibson's legendary PAFs. In the bridge position, a hot humbucker growls with aggression and attitude. The neck pickup adds depth, warmth and clarity. Together they cover the tonal spectrum, from articulate cleans to raunchy overdrive. Four control knobs for volume and tone shape your sound.
Vintage-accurate Maestro Vibrola Provides Pitch Modulation
In 1964, Gibson replaced the unruly side-pull vibrato on the SG with the Maestro Vibrola. This reliable tailpiece subtly and smoothly modulates pitch for warbles and shimmers. The Vibrola on the 1964 SG Standard Reissue is a faithful replica, down to its lyre-shaped cover and "Maestro by Gibson" engraving. Add expression with the flick of a lever.
Play Authentic With a Comfortable Medium Neck
The 1964 SG Standard Reissue features a solid mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard and medium '60s profile. This rounded, full-feeling shape provides perfect balance of thickness and agility. 22 vintage-style frets grant access to slinky bends up high. The bound rosewood fingerboard is gorgeously grained, with pearloid dot inlays as a final vintage touch.
Rock-Solid Hardware Built to Last
Reliable hardware partners with premium electronics for a rock-solid instrument. Vintage-style Kluson tuners keep the 1964 SG Standard Reissue in tune through dive bombs and squeals. A one-piece wraparound bridge anchors strings to the body. Orange Drop capacitors and 500K potentiometers authentically replicate the guitar's 1964 circuit. A "lightning bolt" aluminum strap button secures your favorite strap.
