Made in collaberation with the Gibson™ Custom Shop, the Epiphone 1963 Les Paul SG with Maestro Vibrola is a stunning recreation of the classic vintage model. 1963 was the last year that the "Les Paul™" moniker was used on the SG™ Custom and the first year of the maestro™ Vibrola™. The premium appointments the model is known and loved for are all present here, including a one-piece mahogany neck with a long neck tenon, a SlimTaper™ profile and a bound ebony fretboard.

It also features mother-of-pearl block fretboard inlays and a Custom split diamond headstock inlay on the bound Gibson style "open book" headstock. The electronics are equally impressive, with three Gibson Custombucker humbucking pickups hand-wired to CTS® potentiometers, Mallory™ capacitors and a Switchcraft™ pickup selector toggle switch and output jack. The VOS (Vintage Original Sheen) Classic White finish is nicely complimented by the gold hardware, including 18:1 ratio Grover® Rotomatic® tuners. A black hardshell case with inspired by Gibson Custom graphics and a goldenrod interior is also included.
