A Stunning Recreation of the Top of the Line SG From 1963
Made in collaboration with Gibson™ Custom, 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 USA 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.
