This guitar is set up beautifully with a fast, low action and pretty much plays itself. It is light and resonant even without amplification. And that natural resonance just bursts into sonic bloom when you plug it in.

This Gibson Custom '64 SG Standard CME True Historic absolutely nails the original look, sound, and feel of the legendary '64 SG Standard.

Comes in its Gibson Custom hard shell case with tags, warranty, lots of case candy and its CME Certificate of Authenticity.
