Gibson’s SG Special is the classic rock machine that drove the powerful sound of Woodstock-era bands like Santana and The Who.
The Gibson Custom 1963 SG Special Reissue Ultra-Light Aged celebrates an earlier incarnation of this lean, mean workhorse in a gorgeous and historically accurate reissue, replete with period-correct construction methods, specs, and measurements.
This masterful rendition of the classic solidbody electric guitar that rocked the music world in its most influential decade honors its coveted progenitors in a meticulous re-creation handcrafted by Gibson’s Custom Shop luthiers with fastidious attention to prototypical detail, top-shelf tonewoods, and a sumptuous Murphy Lab-aged finish that gives you the look and feel of a cherished vintage treasure.
Under the leadership of Master Artisan Tom Murphy, Gibson Custom Shop’s Murphy Lab performs one specific function: to craft artfully aged instruments using the most cutting-edge tools available. These guitars are targeted to one of four distinct levels of age and wear, ranging from Ultra-Light to Ultra-Heavy.
This 1963 SG Special Reissue features Ultra-Light aging, with unique lacquer checking but minimal playing wear. It’s as if the guitar spent most of its life in its case. VOS patina hardware puts the final touch on this exquisite instrument.
