The 1964 SG Standard is one of those guitars that feels like it’s straight out of rock history—sleek, balanced, and ready to sing. Epiphone’s Inspired by Gibson Custom 1964 SG Standard Reissue brings that magic to life with remarkable detail.
This isn’t just a tribute—it’s one of the most authentic recreations Epiphone has ever released. From the comfortable SlimTaper neck to the vintage-style bevels and the Maestro Vibrola, everything about it feels right in the hands. The pickups are true to form too—Gibson Custombuckers, wired up with quality components for the kind of tone that made the SG legendary in the first place.
If you’re after a guitar that nails the look, feel, and sound of a ’64 SG without needing to spend vintage prices, this reissue is about as close as it gets. It’s the kind of guitar that makes you want to plug in, turn up, and not put it down.
Included is a fitted hardshell case with a goldenrod interior—just the right finishing touch for a guitar of this caliber. This guitar weighs 7lbs 7oz.
