Made in collaboration 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 for 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.
