This guitar weights in at 7lbs 9oz Our Take:There's a reason that the '64 SG Standard is so universally respected, and the roster of stars that rocked 'em only serves to support that. Everything about the '64 was an improvement, from the more dependable Maestro Vibrola to the augmented neck profile; 1964 was really a milestone for the instrument. And this 1964 SG Standard Reissue with Maestro Vibrola from the Gibson Custom Shop is a top quality reproduction of those incredible instruments. For an insanely accurate, balanced, rich playing experience, look no further than this SG.Gibson's Take:Regardless of the fact that George Harrison and Eric Clapton rocked a '64 SG Standard, that model year was clearly a standout for SGs in general. The clunky side-pull vibrato had been replaced by the dependable Maestro Vibrola. The neck profiles had increased in size, resembling the profile found on 1959 Les Pauls. And the balance, playability and look of the SG seemed to come into its own. For all those reasons, Gibson Custom Shop is proud to present the newest member of the Historic Reissue family -- the 1964 SG Standard Reissue. Along with the Maestro Vibrola and chunky neck profile, it has all the hyper-accurate vintage specs one could possibly want -- original construction methods, a real red aniline dye finish, chemically-recreated plastics, replica electronics, and more. The result is perhaps the best looking, feeling and sounding SG Reissue yet.  Standard SpecificationsGeneral InfoBrand:GibsonModel: Custom Shop 1964 SG Standard Reissue W/ Maestro Light Aged  Color:Antique Pelham BlueSerial: 400034 Weight:CallCondition: NewBodyTop Material:N/ABody Material: 1-Piece Solid Lightweight Mahogany Finish: Nitrocellulose VOS (Vintage Patina)   Neck Material:MahoganyFinish: Nitrocellulose VOS (Vintage Patina) Fingerboard Material/Radius: Indian Rosewood, Hide Glue Fit, 12" Frets (Number and Size): 22 Authentic Medium-JumboInlays: Nitrate TrapezoidsNut (Material and Width): 1.69" NylonScale Length: 24.75"Profile: Authentic '64 Medium C-Shape   ElectronicsPickups:  Custombucker Alnico III (Unpotted) Pickup Switching: Switchcraft 3-WayControls: CTS 500K Audio Taper Potentiometers, Black Beauty Capacitors   Hardware Tuning Machines: Kluson Single Line, Single Ring Bridge: ABR-1 Pickguard:  Black Multi-Ply Control Knobs: Black Top Hat Reflector Hardware Finish: Nickel    AccessoriesCustom Shop Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity Booklet, Historic Reissue Hang Tags
