2023 Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 1964 SG Reissue – Ultra Light Aged, Cherry Red

Here’s a killer 2023 Murphy Lab ’64 SG Reissue that nails that sweet spot between vintage vibe and modern playability. Finished in Ultra Light Aged Cherry, it’s got all the classic details—lightweight mahogany body, long neck tenon, and a pair of Custombuckers that deliver that perfect mix of bite and bloom. This one’s been played gently but never gigged, and it’s set up beautifully. There are a few finish chips here and there (mostly around where the neck meets the body), a little more wear than you’d expect from the factory “Ultra Light Aged” treatment—but honestly, it just adds to the vibe. Everything else is spot-on. Plays fast, sounds huge, and feels broken-in in all the right ways.
