A 1960s SG™ has been the favorite of some of the most iconic guitarists ever...Angus Young, Tony Iommi, Robby Krieger, George Harrison, Dickey Betts, Gary Rossington, and Eric Clapton, to name a few. The SG's devilish points and curves, blistering humbucker tone, and fast-playing neck help to make it one of the most coveted and revered 1960s Gibson models. This Custom Shop Historic Reissue Les Paul SG takes the classic formula and adds a unique twist, exchanging the usual mahogany body material for a hand-selected, one-piece, highly quilted sapele wood body that gives it a familiar tone and an appearance that is simply stunning to behold. The rear of the headstock also has a "stinger" that gives it a unique, customized appearance. It also features Murphy Lab Ultra Light aging to give it the look and feel of a well-cared-for vintage classic, historic hide-glue construction methods, the finest vintage replica parts and materials available, and the instantly recognizable, powerful tone of pure rock 'n' roll.
