The Gibson 1964 SG Standard Maestro Vibrola Cherry Red Ultra Light Aged #301904Double Cut is a successful replica of the SG vintage that marked the end of the 'Les Paul SG' era and came up with some welcome improvements.

Long Neck Tenon & Hide Glue
The SG Standard Maestro Vibrola Cherry Red Ultra Light Aged is based on the historically correct construction of the '64 SG as the starting point for this replica model. matching, the instrument is made up of a one-piece body made of solid, yet lightweight mahogany and a neck also made of mahogany. This has the traditional long neck heel (long neck tenon) and is glued to the body with glass-hard hide-glue for improved resonance behaviour. Last but not least, the more powerful "Authentic '64 Medium C" neck profile conjures up the usual classic feel in the style of the Gibson solid-body guitars of the late fifties.
Custom bucker with Alnico III magnets and hand-wired electrics with high-quality components deliver authentic vintage sounds.
Custombucker with hand-wired electrics
The two Custombucker humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions are true classics of the Gibson Custom Shop. The pickups, wound according to the traditional PAF recipe, produce amazing tonal qualities that provide the right basis for a wide range of possible sounds. The complete wiring of the Gibson 1964 SG Standard Maestro Vibrola Ultra Light Aged is hand-wired and uses high-quality components in the form of CTS potentiometers, a Switchcraft output jack and genuine Black Beauty capacitors for authentic Treble roll-offs of the tone controls.
The Kluson tuners in the historically correct "Single Line/Double Ring" design of the sixties are also subjected to the Murphy Lab treatment.
Finish & Hardware with Light Ageing Treatment
Both the Hardware and the Finish of the Gibson 1964 SG Standard Maestro Vibrola Cherry Red Ultra Light Aged have undergone a Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged treatment, which was developed by none other than ageing expert Tom Murphy and his team. Authentic signs of wear can be found on the Maestro Vibrola plus ABR-1 bridge, the traditional Kluson tuners and both humbucker caps, while the beautiful cherry Rednitrocellulose lacquer shows the lightest traces of an amazingly well-maintained original.
