Epiphone Inspired By Gibson Custom 1964 SG Standard with Maestro Vibrola Reissue - Cherry Red

The 1964 SG™ Standard with Maestro™ Vibrola pays tribute to one of the most iconic SG model years in Gibson history. Originally played by legends like George Harrison and Eric Clapton, the 1964 model year marked the SG’s evolution into the form we now know and love—with refined body bevels, improved hardware, and the official retirement of the “Les Paul” name.

In collaboration with Gibson™ Custom, Epiphone proudly presents the most accurate reissue of the 1964 SG Standard to date. This Inspired by Gibson Custom model features a center-seamed 2-piece mahogany body with vintage-correct beveling, a one-piece mahogany neck with a long neck tenon, and a fast yet comfortable 1960s SlimTaper™ neck profile. A bound rosewood fingerboard is adorned with mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays, while the headstock includes an aged mother-of-pearl Epiphone logo and Gibson crown inlay.

Electronics are premium: USA Gibson Custombucker pickups with Alnico 3 magnets, CTS® pots, Black Beauty paper-in-oil capacitors, and Switchcraft® switch and jack. Hardware includes a Tune-O-Matic bridge, Maestro Vibrola tailpiece, and Epiphone Deluxe Double Ring tuners, all in nickel finish.

The guitar is finished in Vintage Gloss Cherry Red and ships in a black hardshell case with gold hardware, goldenrod interior, and Inspired by Gibson Custom logo.
