The 1964 SG™ Standard with Maestro™ Vibrola™ recreates one of the most beloved SG model years of all time–the 1964 SG Standard. While the 1964 SG Standard was famously used by such notable players as George Harrison and Eric Clapton, the model year was a standout for the SG in general. By 1964, the less intuitive Sideways Vibrato had been replaced with the dependable Maestro Vibrola, while the neck profile increased in size somewhat from the ultra-thin neck profiles found on some of the earlier SG models, and the SG’s balance, playability, and look seemed to come into its own. 1964 was also the first full year that the SG dispensed with the Les Paul moniker it previously used. Now, Epiphone is proud to release the 1964 SG Standard Reissue with Maestro Vibrola, a stunning recreation of that legendary model. Made in collaboration with Gibson™ Custom, the Epiphone 1964 SG Standard with Maestro Vibrola is the most authentic recreation of the 1964 SG Standard ever released by Epiphone. All of the classic appointments the 1964 SG Standard model is known and loved for are present here, including a one-piece mahogany neck with a long neck tenon for increased stability and sustain, a comfortable, fast-playing SlimTaper™ profile, and a bound rosewood fretboard. It also features mother-of-pearl trapezoid fretboard inlays, an aged mother-of-pearl Epiphone headstock logo, and an aged mother-of-pearl Gibson crown headstock inlay on the Gibson-style “open book” headstock. The center-seamed, two-piece mahogany body features the comfortable and distinctive bevels that help define a vintage-style SG and make it so comfortable to hold and play. The electronics are equally impressive, with two USA Gibson Custombucker humbucking pickups with Alnico 3 magnets that are hand-wired to CTS® potentiometers, Black Beauty paper-in-oil capacitors, and a Switchcraft® pickup selector toggle switch and output jack. The Vintage Gloss finish is nicely complimented by the nickel hardware, including Epiphone Vintage Deluxe “Double Ring” tuners. A black hardshell case with Inspired by Gibson Custom graphics, gold hardware, and a goldenrod interior is also included.

"Absolutely blown away by this guitar. Right out of the box, the setup was perfect and the guitar was in tune. The variety of tones I can get from the guitar is outstanding. Also love the weight particularly the relief on my shoulders. Highly recommend this guitar as it is a winner!"
"Top ! Seul bémol la couleur sur le site n’est pas concordante avec la vraie couleur du pelham blue en vrai. Elle paraît bien plus claire / ciel sur la photo et en vrai elle tire vers le bleu/vert"
"I think the guitar is awesome! It sounds amazing and plays excellently. It was pretty much set up out of the case, I only had to tune a couple of strings. I was playing it unplugged today, and you can really feel the vibrations through the wood, just about as much as my Gibson LP. I was about to pull the string on a red one and then I saw this one, Antique Pelham Blue, on the Gibson website. I had been wishing they would make an Epiphone version in this color. Thank you Gibson for making this guitar. I also have a '59 Les Paul from the newest Inspired by Gibson Custom line-up and it too is fantastic. As well as the one from 2020 or so with the medallion and the BB 2&3. It too is awesome (I really like the BB 2&3 but the Custombuckers sound pretty good too). I have several Epiphones and they are all great guitars. Nothing compares to an Epiphone or Gibson in my opinion."
