Personal Thoughts
This '64 SG Standard Reissue in TV Gold is an absolute stunner and a real standout from the Custom Shop. You don’t see SGs in this TV Gold finish, and it looks incredible in person—proper vintage vibes but with a unique, boutique feel.
The Mahogany body and neck make it resonant and lightweight, staying true to the classic thin-profile SG design. That medium C-profile neck is comfortable without being too chunky, making this a fast and effortless player. The Maestro Vibrola adds a touch of elegance and gives you that smooth, expressive vibrato, all while keeping the classic Gibson aesthetic intact.
The Custombucker Alnico III pickups are exactly what you’d want in an SG—bright and biting but still rich and dynamic. They’ve got that vintage PAF clarity and punch, making this guitar feel and sound like something straight out of the '60s.
 
Condition Report
This SG is in mint condition, with no visible wear, dings, or scratches. The TV Gold finish is flawless, and the hardware, frets, and electronics are in perfect shape. It looks as fresh as it did the day it left the Custom Shop.
 
Final Thoughts
If you’re after a proper vintage-inspired SG, this is as good as it gets. The TV Gold finish is rare and gives it that custom, one-of-a-kind look, while the Maestro Vibrola and Custombuckers make it an absolute tone machine. A killer reissue that plays, looks, and sounds like a dream.
