Gibson 1964 SG Custom Cherry Red VOS with Maestro Vibrola
A Historic Reissue That Honors a Legendary Era
The Gibson 1964 SG Custom VOS in Cherry Red with Maestro Vibrola is an extraordinary creation from the Gibson Custom Shop, meticulously built to capture the magic of a standout year in SG history. This is more than a guitar—it's a faithful recreation of a vintage classic, handcrafted using period-accurate techniques and materials that celebrate Gibson’s golden era of electric guitar design.
While 1964 SGs were famously wielded by legends like George Harrison and Eric Clapton, this reissue goes even further—featuring Gibson’s VOS (Vintage Original Spec) treatment, which delivers the look, feel, and vibe of a well-preserved vintage instrument straight from the '60s.
This model boasts the dependable and iconic Maestro Vibrola (a major upgrade over the earlier side-pull version), a chunkier 1959-style neck profile, and a gorgeous Cherry Red finish using real red aniline dye. Every detail is period correct—from the chemically recreated plastics and historically accurate electronics, to the long tenon neck joint and hide glue construction.
