Gibson Custom 1964 SG Standard Reissue Electric Guitar – VOS, Antique Natural

Description

Few Gibson designs feel as immediate and unmistakable as the SG. Lighter, sharper and arguably more responsive than the single-cut forms that came before it, the original SG redefined what a solidbody electric guitar could be. The Gibson Custom 1964 SG Standard Reissue electric guitar builds on that legacy with a rare tonal twist, pairing a solid korina body and korina neck with an Authentic 1964 neck profile, Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups and a Maestro Vibrola tailpiece for expressive control. Part of Gibson Custom?s 2026 Limited-Edition Collection, this reissue preserves the SG?s fast feel and articulate attack while introducing added harmonic sparkle, airy resonance and a distinct midrange character. Finished in Antique Natural to highlight the grain, it offers a refined take on one of Gibson?s most iconic designs.

Solid Korina Body and Neck for Lively Resonance

Korina immediately sets this SG apart. Known for its lively midrange response and harmonic clarity, the solid korina body and neck create a voice that feels more open and expressive than traditional mahogany builds. The result is a crisp attack with blooming sustain and a balanced tonal spread that complements the SG?s lightweight, agile design. Finished in Antique Natural, the wood grain becomes part of the instrument?s identity, reinforcing the guitar?s distinctive character both visually and sonically.

Custombucker Alnico 3 Pickups With Open Vintage Character

A matched pair of Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups gives this SG its distinctive voice. The Alnico 3 magnets soften the attack slightly while preserving clarity, delivering warm lows, articulate mids and airy highs. This combination complements the korina construction, producing a tone that remains focused yet expressive. The traditional two-volume, two-tone and three-way toggle layout provides intuitive control without interrupting the playing experience.

Authentic 1964 Neck Profile With Long Tenon Stability

The Authentic 1964 neck profile delivers a comfortable, period-correct feel with enough substance for confident fretting while remaining quick and responsive. A long neck tenon strengthens the neck-to-body connection, enhancing resonance and sustain across the entire instrument. The bound rosewood fingerboard features aged trapezoid inlays, reissue medium jumbo frets and a traditional 12″ radius, creating a smooth playing surface built for expressive phrasing and effortless bends.

Maestro Vibrola and Period-Correct Hardware

The Maestro Vibrola adds expressive pitch movement while reinforcing the guitar?s mid-?60s styling. An ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, Kluson Deluxe tuners, nylon nut and nickel hardware complete the period-correct design. Black Top Hat knobs with silver inserts and classic SG appointments maintain visual authenticity while supporting reliable performance and tuning stability.
