Gibson Custom 64 SG Standard w/ 61 Neck Pelham Blue Ultra Light Aged w/case 501734

Serial - 501734

Weight - 7 lbs 8 oz

The Gibson Custom 1964 SG Standard Reissue captures one of the most celebrated years in SG history, blending the aggressive voice and effortless upper fret access of a vintage SG with the refined feel of Gibson Custom Shop craftsmanship. Finished in Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged Pelham Blue, this example delivers the look and feel of a carefully preserved vintage original, with subtle lacquer checking and minimal wear that gives it the broken-in character players love.

This particular build pairs the legendary ’64 SG platform with the highly sought-after slimmer ’61 neck carve, creating a faster, more agile feel without sacrificing the resonance and authority that make these guitars special. The lightweight mahogany construction keeps the instrument lively and resonant, while the Maestro Vibrola adds both vintage-correct aesthetics and expressive performance. At just 7 lbs 8 oz, this one offers exceptional balance and comfort for long sessions on stage or in the studio. Gibson notes the 1964 SG was the year the dependable Maestro Vibrola replaced the earlier side-pull design, helping define the model’s iconic feel and look.
