USED GIBSON CUSTOM / Murphy Lab 1964 SG Standard Maestro Vibrola Light Aged Pelham Blue [06]

The pinnacle of Gibson Custom Shop’s aging techniques! A 1964-spec SG with a Light Aged finish by Murphy Lab has arrived in excellent used condition! It’s the popular Pelham Blue!

Murphy Lab, established within the Custom Shop, is an aging division where a team of artisans led by Tom Murphy—a vintage expert and pioneer in aging—creates innovative aged products using new technologies.
This guitar features a “Light Aged” finish, the third-strongest of the four aging levels.
The combination of the Light Aged finish, applied by Murphy Lab’s skilled artisans, and the Light Aged hardware recreates the look and feel of a vintage guitar that has been played just enough, capturing the unique appearance and playability of older models from Gibson’s golden age.

The basic specifications are based on the ’64 SG Standard model, featuring an “Authentic ’64 Medium C-Shape” mahogany neck with an Indian rosewood fingerboard, and a lightweight mahogany body glued with hide glue.
The hardware features aged parts from Murphy Lab, including Kluson Single Line/Double Ring tuners, an ABR-1 bridge with a nylon saddle, and a Maestro Long Vibrola—a hallmark of that model year.
It is equipped with two “Custombucker Alnico 3 (Unpotted)” pickups, which reproduce the mellow, aged sound.
While there are very slight play marks on the pickguard, the Light Aged finish gives the instrument an overall distressed look, making it difficult to distinguish these marks from the natural aging process; however, there are no noticeable damages that appear to have been added later.

This is not the Ultra Light finish commonly seen on the market, but rather the higher-grade Light Aged finish, combined with the popular custom color Pelham Blue. We highly recommend considering this instrument.
