Gibson 1963 SG Special Reissue Lightning Bar Ultra Light Aged Classic White

Two for the Show – A Classic Reborn

The SG™ Special has long been a favorite among rock legends for its raw simplicity, tonal versatility, and unmistakable edge. The Gibson Custom Shop proudly brings this iconic model back to life with unmatched precision and craftsmanship.

Meticulously recreated using original construction methods, authentic contours, and period-correct details, this Historic Reissue delivers a playing experience that’s every bit as thrilling as the originals from the early '60s.

Finished with the Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aging treatment, this guitar wears its vintage soul proudly—with lightly aged hardware and a gently worn finish that captures decades of subtle play wear. It's the perfect blend of vintage vibe and modern performance, made for players who demand character, tone, and feel.
