This gorgeous guitar sports a 1-piece solid lightweight mahogany body, giving it a rich voice with deep lows and a biting midrange. Its sleek contours and exceptional balance make for a comfortable playing experience, especially during late-night gigs and extended practice sessions. Players and collectors alike will appreciate the dedication that went into making this SG a spot-on replica of the ’64 model – boasting chemically-recreated plastics, replica electronics, and an Ultra Light Aged finish, this beauty is nearly indistinguishable from the real deal.
Players accustomed to chunkier necks will love riffing on this SG, thanks to its Authentic ’64 Medium “C” shaped mahogany neck. They’ll also love its velvety-smooth Indian rosewood fingerboard, which accommodates everything from easy chorded passages to screamin’ lead lines. Complete with a long neck tenon for extra sustain and stability, this SG has an excellent in-hand feel.
Powering the Custom Shop 1964 SG Standard is a set of Custombucker Alnico III pickups that pump out a jaw-dropping array of tones.
