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.
