RDS Gibson Custom Shop SG 1964 Reissue with Brazilian Rosewood - "Angela"

Introducing “Angela,” a stunning 2023 Gibson Custom Shop SG 1964 Reissue, masterfully crafted to embody the elegant power and refined character of the mid-’60s SG design. Weighing in at a well-balanced 7.0 lbs, Angela offers exceptional comfort and resonance for serious players who value both authenticity and playability.

Angela features a resonant one-piece mahogany body, delivering warm midrange presence and singing sustain that defines the classic SG tone. The Brazilian rosewood fretboard contributes a rich, harmonically complex voice with a smooth, responsive feel under the fingers. Her ’64-style neck is notably thicker than the slimmer profiles of later ’60s SGs, adding depth and solidity that seasoned players will immediately recognize and appreciate.

Powering Angela’s tone are a pair of Ballestone P.A.F. humbuckers, delivering dynamic clarity, sweet overtones, and articulate drive across any amp setting. The Retrospec wiring paired with Black Beauty capacitors ensures vintage-correct response, allowing for expressive touch sensitivity and perfectly balanced tone controls. A Faber ABR-1 bridge and Maestro Vibrola complete the period-accurate aesthetic while maintaining rock-solid tuning and smooth vibrato action.

Angela arrives complete in her case with her original Gibson Certificate of Authenticity, full case candy, and a Historic Makeovers RDS Certificate.

This 1964 Reissue SG stands as a testament to Gibson’s mastery of form, tone, and feel—a timeless instrument made for players who demand authenticity in every note.
