Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity, and attention to detail.
Occasionally, there is a strange part or a weird piece on a guitar that really dates it to a specific year. In the history of the Gibson SG™, one such part is the pearl-inlaid Ebony Block Vibrola™ tailpiece, which only appeared on SG Standards and Customs in 1962 when they were still known as Les Pauls.
This iteration of the 1962 Les Paul™ SG Standard from Gibson Custom comes with Murphy Lab Light Aging. The guitar also includes authentic features such as a hot-stamped 2-ply “Les Paul” truss rod cover, Kluson Single Line, Double Ring tuners, and a pair of unpotted Custombucker humbucking pickups, ensuring a blend of historical accuracy and exceptional quality. This Gibson exclusive is available in very limited quantities
