Gibson Custom Shop Greatest Hits Collection 1964 SG Standard – VOS, Maestro Vibrola

Sonic Evaluation

This silver foxy lady's story is a tale of contrasts with serious Jeykll and Hyde vibes. Overall, it has warm, woody, punchy vintage-style sound. The bridge pickup is definitely Mr. Hyde, as it's is meaner and snarlier than a junkyard dawg eyeing a porterhouse. The midrange is downright rude, with spectacular bite and crunch and plenty of sparkle. By contrast, the neck pickup is caramel-sweet, with broad, sonorous midrange along with deep clear lows and a gorgeous singing top-end. Both pickups exhibit outstanding clarity and articulation, too. The fact that it has one of the coolest finishes of all time is just the cherry on top! If you're looking for an SG that can cover a lot of sonic territory and indulge your desires for rock and roll nastiness and jazzy warmth, check this serial out!

Greatest Hitsville

Wildwoodians, Gibson's new Greatest Hits Collection is the greatest thing to happen to greatest hits since the Eagles released Their Greatest Hits! That may seem like a bold statement, but after you take a look at some of the spectacular creations in the Collection, we think you'll agree that they belong in the same rarified air as Don Felder and Co. Basically, the concept behind the Greatest Hits Collection is simple: the team at Gibson commissioned a bunch of Made to Measure models based on iconic-looking Gibsons of yore that might have otherwise slipped through the cracks, Gibsons that should have been but weren't, and entirely new ideas straight from the imagination.

As you might guess, the folks who work at Gibson love Gibsons as much as we do, and the Made to Measure models they came up with for the Greatest Hits Collection are some of the coolest Custom Shop Gibsons we've ever seen thanks to the depth of their love and appreciation they have for Gibson's history and future. So, you might find Gibsons with modifications that were common (or uncommon) back in the day, fresh new colors and configurations, and new spins on classic Gibson models. We invite you to look through the tracklist we've curated for you and find your favorite of the Greatest Hits. We're sure that once you do, it will be stuck in your head for a long time!
