  • It sure didn't take long for us to go picking out Gibson guitars again, and today's pick is a pristine 1964 SG Standard! The SG Standard of this year, if you're not aware, is very much associated with George Harrison of The Beatles and if you're wondering why, take a spin through the Revolver album - you'll hear one all over that record! A totally original guitar short of a new nut, this thing plays like a dream and has a huge sound to go with it. As Trevor states in the video, its got a great almost chunky neck profile, the unique Maestro vibrola provides some interesting tonal variety, and the pickups are fantastic as you'll hear when our friend Dan Phelps plugs this instrument into a 1962 Fender Super Amp!

    Fantastic! Had the pleasure of playing a '64 through a Princeton of the same year at TR Crandall in NYC. Needless to say I was absolutely floored by the clarity and responsiveness of the pickups.

      Yep, '64 is the last year where Patent No. humbuckers usually still have PAF clarity. I like the necks too: chunkier than the earlier "slim taper" shape.

    A 1964 Gibson SG Standard would have had nylon bridge saddles vs the metal ones on this guitar. Either the bridge or the saddles have been replaced.

    50s,60s,70s indeed all fine very special guitars and some sell for thousands but let's face it. even on you tube there are few people that have made better custom guitars. this nostalgic got to have it goes too far sometimes.
    considering the\ last two decades of politically fucking correct record companies, they can care less if you played Chinese made guitar or 64 SG. they wouldn't sign you no matter what or talented. even Beatles, and Zeppelin and stones or Clapton or any of those 60s,70s, 80s band could get signed the last two decades.
    record companies have become as corrupt as our fucking congress and government and media and movie industry.
