The 2022 Gibson Custom Shop 1964 SG Standard Reissue Murphy Lab Pelham Blue revives one of the most captivating configurations of the 1960s SG, combining the model's signature lightness and responsiveness with a Murphy Lab finish that captures the allure of an instrument truly shaped by the passage of time. The solid mahogany body is finished in Pelham Blue nitrocellulose—one of Gibson’s most recognizable and sought-after colors—made even more striking by the Murphy Lab treatment. The mahogany neck features a comfortable, substantial Medium C profile, paired with an Indian rosewood fingerboard boasting a 12" radius, 22 Medium Jumbo frets, and a feel that is instantly familiar under the fingers. Electronics duties are handled by a pair of Gibson Custombuckers with Alnico III magnets—pickups designed to deliver openness, dynamic range, and that slightly airy response typical of the best vintage humbuckers. The three-way selector allows you to switch from the round, deep tones of the neck pickup to the increased aggression of the bridge pickup, all while maintaining excellent touch sensitivity. The sound is crisp, direct, and responsive—as expected from a high-end SG—offering great attack, definition, and the biting character that has made this model unmistakable. The ABR-1 bridge is paired with a Vintage Correct Maestro Vibrola—a key element for both the aesthetics and the character of this SG—while Kluson tuners and Black Top knobs round out a configuration heavily inspired by the original 1964 instruments. Weighing in at just 3.330 kg, this SG is extremely manageable, resonant, and ready to respond to every nuance of your playing. It is an instrument that combines the allure of a vintage Gibson with Custom Shop build precision and Murphy Lab aging—making it a compelling choice for both musicians and collectors alike.
