Gibson Custom Shop LE 1964 SG Standard Reissue Korina Ltd - vos antique natural

Introduced in 1961, the SG has been continuously improved and produced in countless variations to this day. Designed as a more ergonomically user-friendly and less expensive version of the Les Paul, it is one of the most popular solid body electric guitars across all brands and eras.
Inspired by the instruments in the Made To Measure line, the GIBSON Custom Shop Limited Edition LE 1964 SG Standard Reissue Korina (SGSR6426LE23269) is a stunning reinterpretation of this iconic solid body electric guitar—a must-have for fans of authentic vintage tones and feel. It stands out for its Korina body (with a rosewood fingerboard), its VOS Antique Natural finish, and its Maestro Vibrola tremolo, all of which give it an attractive appearance.

Like Brazilian rosewood or Madagascar mahogany, Korina is an extremely popular wood. Used to craft the 1958 Explorer and Flying V models, it is a prestigious variety of mahogany sourced from African forests. It has a significantly higher density than common mahogany, offering a magnificent added clarity.

The construction is precision-engineered, with dimensions laser-scanned from vintage models, and components selected with uncompromising care: a set neck and body (using a “Long Neck Tenon” joint, using “hot hide glue*”) made of solid Korina, a solid Palissander fingerboard, and hand-wound Custom Buckers Alnico III pickups calibrated to faithfully reproduce the warm, punchy, and nuanced tones of the P.A.F.s from that era.
If you’re looking for a perfectly authentic vintage feel, you’ll undoubtedly be won over.
Since 2014, Gibson has been using “Hot Hide Glue.” It has the same characteristics as the adhesives used in the 1950s. Derived from animal proteins, it has the advantage of simplifying maintenance and any necessary repairs.
