Epiphone 1964 SG Standard Reissue w/ Maestro Vibrola Electric Guitar, Cherry Red

With a classic combo of Gibson-inspired specs, the Epiphone 1964 SG Standard Reissue with Maestro Vibrola is the spitting image of everyone's favorite little devil. This model, joining in Epiphone's "Inspired by Gibson Custom" series, stakes its claim for electrified excellence with exceptional body and electronics specifications for an overall authentic Epiphone experience.

Like what enticed so many SG Standard players across time, this Epiphone SG Standard plays familiarly while loading in some exciting features. This all starts, however with a two-piece mahogany body shaped in Gibson's classic double-cutaway profile. The iconic solidbody design of this guitar not only stands out onstage but offers a responsive and resonant tonal profile off the bat with a center seam and comfortable body bevels. Extending out from the body, a one-piece mahogany neck connects with a long neck tenon and a bound rosewood fingerboard bearing twenty-two frets. Taking inspiration from original 1964 SGs, this fuller neck and fluid fingerboard enables a classically-minded yet speedy feel in the palm. Mother-of-Pearl trapezoid inlays punctuate the rich rosewood for a classic Gibson-inspired visual element.

Where would an SG be without some humbucking heat, though? Two American-made Gibson Custombucker humbucking pickups drop in on this SG with Alnico 3 magnets. Summoning great humbucking heat and grit, these Custombuckers play with all the iconic characteristics you've come to know and love from the SG. These humbuckers also hold the distinction of being hand-wired with CTS potentiometers and Black Beauty paper-in-oil capacitors for lush and varied tone mixing experiences. Vintage Deluxe "Double Ring" tuning machines and a GraphTech nut align past the Gibson-style "open-book" headstock for easy stringing and tuning stability.

We can't miss this Epiphone's centerpiece, though, right? How could we? This 1964 SG Standard's Maestro Vibrola vibrato tailpiece appears at the scale's base with a Tune-O-Matic tailpiece for introducing expressive pitch bends in playing while retaining intonation and tuning accuracy. However you play this SG Standard, it gives back in loving ways. This Epiphone SG Standard travels with an included Epiphone black hardshell case with Inspired by Gibson Custom logos.

As a killer addition to Epiphone's lineup, this "Inspired by Gibson Custom" SG Standard embodies generations of solidbody excitement for the players of today.
