Loaded with a '57 Classic humbucker at its bridge and a Burstbucker 1 at its neck, the versatile Brian Ray '63 SG injects your playing with everything from plucky chime to rich, punchy lows. On top of that, the Brian Ray '63 SG's Bigsby B5 tailpiece with Vibramate converts from a stopbar to a tremolo, further adding to this remarkable guitar's flexibility. At Sweetwater, we love how Gibson's Historic Bumblebee capacitor sets and hardwired harnesses add a sweet, vintage subtlety to a guitar's sound, and the Brian Ray '63 SG is no exception.

The Gibson Custom SG - a brief historyIn the early 1960s, Gibson Custom sought to bolster its reputation as a quality builder of electric solidbody guitars in the midst of slow sales of their now-iconic Les Paul. Originally intended as a new model of the Les Paul, this new design failed to obtain the endorsement of Les Paul himself, and as such was renamed the "SG" (Solid Guitar). The newly-minted Gibson Custom SG was thinner than the Les Paul, with two cutaways, pointed horns, beveled edges, and no body binding. Originally advertised as having the "fastest neck in the world," the Gibson Custom SG is presently one of the most-copied solidbody electric guitar models in the world.
