    Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1963 Les Paul SG Custom with Maestro Vibrola

    The Epiphone 1963 Les Paul SG Custom with Maestro Vibrola is a stunning time capsule, meticulously recreated in collaboration with the Gibson Custom Shop. This guitar isn't just an instrument; it's a piece of rock and roll history brought back to life.

    1963 was a landmark year — the last time the "Les Paul" name graced the SG Custom and the first time the expressive Maestro Vibrola appeared. Decked out in a VOS (Vintage Original Sheen) Classic White finish and dripping with gold hardware, this guitar looks like it just stepped off the stage of a legendary concert.

    A Legendary Revival for True Rock Enthusiasts

    This SG is more than just a pretty face; it’s loaded with the premium features that made the original a legend. From the authentic construction to the powerhouse electronics, every detail is crafted to deliver a truly vintage experience.

    • Three Gibson Custombuckers: The heart of this beast lies in its trio of Gibson Custombucker pickups. These are the same acclaimed humbuckers found in Gibson's highest-end historic reissues, delivering that coveted PAF tone — warm, rich, and articulate with a growl that's pure rock and roll.
    • Premium Hand-Wired Electronics: The signal path is pure quality, with hand-wired CTS potentiometers and Mallory capacitors. This top-tier wiring ensures your tone remains clear, responsive, and dynamic, whether you're at full roar or rolled back for subtle cleans.
    • Maestro Vibrola: Add shimmering vibrato and expressive bends to your playing with the legendary Maestro Vibrola tailpiece. It’s the perfect tool for adding that extra bit of sauce to your solos and chords.

    Effortless Playability, Timeless Feel

    This SG is designed to feel as good as it sounds, combining authentic vintage specs with a profile that modern players will love. From the moment you pick it up, the neck feels like an old friend, inviting you to play for hours on end without fatigue.

    • One-Piece Mahogany Neck: The solid one-piece mahogany neck features a long neck tenon, a hallmark of vintage construction that enhances sustain and resonance. You can feel the entire guitar vibrate with every note.
    • SlimTaper Neck Profile: Forget clunky, cumbersome necks. The fast and comfortable SlimTaper profile is perfect for executing quick runs, complex chords, and soulful bends with ease.
    • Bound Ebony Fretboard: Smooth and slick, the bound ebony fretboard is a joy to play on. It’s adorned with classic mother-of-pearl block inlays, providing a luxurious feel under your fingertips.
