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.
Iconic Looks, Built to Last
This guitar is a visual masterpiece, capturing the sophisticated "tuxedo" aesthetic of the original SG Custom. The combination of the Classic White finish, multi-ply binding, and gleaming gold hardware makes a bold statement on any stage.
Gibson "Open Book" Headstock: Topping it all off is the iconic Gibson-style "open book" headstock, complete with a Custom split diamond inlay in mother-of-pearl. It's a badge of honor that screams quality and tradition.
Top Tier Hardware: Gold Grover Rotomatic tuners offer a precise 18:1 ratio for tuning stability you can count on, while the Tune-O-Matic bridge ensures perfect intonation.
Vintage-Inspired Hardshell Case: Your prized SG comes protected in a black hardshell case featuring Inspired by Gibson Custom graphics and a plush, goldenrod interior, ensuring it travels in style and safety.
A Modern Classic with a Vintage Soul
The Epiphone 1963 Les Paul SG Custom is more than just a tribute; it’s a high-performance instrument built for today's player who craves authentic vintage tone and style. It delivers the sound, feel, and look of a priceless original without the vintage price tag.

Be careful
The nut was improperly installed, the finish was thick and tacky and the pickups were incorrectly wired and it had no inspection sticker. Come on. .

Very nice guitar
When I saw that this guitar came out I HAD to have it. I waited my whole adult life to own a guitar that was like Glen Buxton's SG. He had a 61' but close enough for me. I could have never afforded a Gibson one I'm just not that rich nor am I that good of a player to warrant that kind of cash. This ...

An SG worth the little extra bucks!
When I first read Epiphone was coming out with a 63 SG Custom at a fraction of what a Gibson would cost, I immediately looked into it. Once April 2, 2024 came around and I saw these were on the market, BOOM! (2) were ordered! This guitar truly feels like a custom shop guitar, the playability is phen...
