2022 Gibson Murphy Lab ’64 SG Standard With Maestro Vibrola, Pelham Blue, Ultra Light Aged, New!

This is a 2022 Left Handed 1964 Gibson Murphy Lab SG Standard With Maestro Vibrola, Pelham Blue, Ultra Light Aged, New with OHSC/COA.

Ordered in May of 2021, this special-order Left Handed Gibson Murphy Lab ’64 Pelham Blue SG Standard is finally in!

Description:
Regardless of the fact that George Harrison and Eric Clapton rocked a ’64 SG™ Standard, that model year was clearly a standout for SGs in general. The clunky side-pull vibrato had been replaced by the dependable Maestro™ Vibrola. The neck profiles had increased in size, resembling the profile found on 1959 Les Pauls™. And the balance, playability and look of the SG seemed to come into its own. For all those reasons, the Gibson Custom Shop is proud to present the 1964 SG Standard Reissue.

Along with the Maestro Vibrola and chunky neck profile, it has all the hyper-accurate vintage specs one could possibly want — original construction methods, chemically-recreated plastics, replica electronics, and more. The result is perhaps the best looking, feeling and sounding SG Reissue yet.

It also features Ultra Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of light play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.
