Gibson Murphy Lab '64 SG Standard - Classic Rock In Its Finest Form!

I can easily imagine a purple one with vintage white pickguard murphy lad Danish Pete Signature. OMG 😲Thanks you both 🤘

[@paulgentile1024]

Not worth the money

[@lance134679]

What I find kind of crazy is when the finish cracked on my old Les Paul after it rode under the bus in the winter, I was very disappointed that my guitar didn't look new anymore, and for years, every time I'd look at the guitar, I'd regret not insisting on keeping the guitar with me in the cabin on that bus ride. Now people pay thousands extra for that.

[@terminusest9083]

I don't understand it either. You also achieve the same effect by buying it new and then playing it for 20yrs - surely the 'owning and playing' option is best.

[@lance134679]

@@terminusest9083 Or put your guitar outside in -35 degree weather :-)

[@MajorDook1]

@Terminus Est Problem with that argument ("just play it for 20 years and relic it yourself") is that it often takes quite a bit longer than 20 years for a guitar to age andlook lightly relic'ed. Some people (those aged in their 50s and 60s) don't have 20 years to relic it themselves cos they'll either be dead or too old to play and enjoy their relic'ed guitar.

[@DHJ81]

@@MajorDook1unfortunately all too true! I started playing at 52 and I’m psyched to get these played in looking and feeling instruments…they do indeed feel different to me anyway…

Hahaha, thanks for the shoutout Pete, you legend! Brilliant jams guys, loving it! I'll be stealing those licks.

[@cryptowatch-ed7cm]

The fact that Rick Beato plays the Murphy as his main axe says it all..and yours and all his vids with it sound awesome! Ow mooch? I want one!

[@chrisnichols4077]

I’ve ordered a lefty M2M 64’ Heavy Aged SG in Pelham Blue… absolutely one of my dream guitars 👍👍

[@imunchienandalusia]

i got a red one a few weeks back. Best electric guitar i've ever had. They got some magic in this run of guitars. I bought a non Murphy 64 earlier last year and for some reason it didn't have the same resonance and vibe. I wound up swapping it for a les paul. I would never have bought a heavy relic - just because i'm not into that but when i picked this thing up , it has the same vintage vibe as my brother's actual 67 special, if not better. I'm normally not into reclicing for it's own sake but in this case it's like perfectly worn in pair of jeans instead of pair of stiff levis off the rack. Its it worth 4,000 bucks more.. i don't know but i know this one is a keeper for me and i'm pretty picky. I guess it's as close as i'll ever get to owning a vintage SG.

[@fightinpikey]

I think this is the best opening jam yet.

[@nathanielvargas3863]

I used to be a Les Paul fanboy but ever since I bought an SG they’re all I think about. These Murphy Lab guitars are my “relatively” affordable dream guitars

[@MesaGuitarGuy]

Danish Pete is killing it on that intro!

[@widowmaker5544]

nice bit of Steppenwolf and Bryan Adams vibes from the intro jam there great classic rock vibes in this video! sounds way more classic rock than the sound like for the ultimate classic rock rig if i do say so myself

[@michaelirons5662]

TOTAL AWSOME GUYS THEM SGS SCREEMED BLOODY MAGIC.

[@XDaveOnPC]

I wouldn't mind a Black Beauty Murphy Lab honestly. But I have to say, the white version of it has a killer look. The vibrato is a bit of a pain to set up, and may cause tuning issues, but as far as it goes, it makes any SG gorgeous to me.

[@cabbycabby1770]

I wish SGs came in more colors. Love mine!

[@brandonking728]

I’ve never wanted an sg more in my life

[@armybass223]

I really do watch these videos for the intro jams in hopes of stealing some groovy licks… never disappoints!

Nice guitars no doubt, but I'll stick to my plain ol Gibson SG Standard and Les Paul Standard. Murphy can keep em and I'll keep $ in my wallet 😅

[@robinjgill]

Really good stuff. What would we do without your videos? And the 335s are still to come.

[@1969MARKETING]

I've said this many times before bc it's true. This is what a standard tuned 6 string electric guitar should sound like. Midrange punch where the frequencies should be!

[@johnnyfeathers2567]

Awesome jam session !

[@maxpeck4154]

With regard to the Maestro Vibrato arm... got a brand new standard 61 maestro in January and the vibrato arm was VERY stiff. By March it wouldn't stay put on its own, I had to tighten it. I would just use it a little each time you pick it up. It will loosen on its own.

[@Discotex100]

Hi captain & Pete - any plan of reviewing Murphy lab ultra light aged 1964 ES335 (in red😁)? Thanks

[@andertons]

[@grindhouseglitch]

I have a 2019 (non-Murphy-Lab) '64 reissue and it is the best SG I have ever owned (and I have owned lots of them since the '80s). It can easily hang with any vintage '60s SG I have owned/played.

Do these have that early SG thing of the neck being like a whammy bar when you pull forwards or backwards on it? I've been hoping Gibson would come out with a 1967 SG so I could order a M2M version with a chunky neck that wont do the whammy thing because of the late 60's neck join on SGs.

[@matthiask08]

I have the red '64 SG, but as VOS and not as Murphy Lab. It's great.

[@xguitar123]

Totally awesome 😎

[@lance134679]

How are the Maestro vibratos? I like vibratos on guitars, but they all feel different and of course, there is also the issue of trying to keep the guitar in tune, but I've never tried a Maestro. I put a Les Trem on my old Les Paul and it works flawlessly, but then I put one on a more modern 335 and the guitar refused to stay in tune, possibly because of the nut, either poorly cut or perhaps it's the material - Coria. So, it's obviously a concern when buying a guitar with a trem system.

[@dimitrilaenen2074]

They’re quite stiff, but alright for a slight vibrato effect. They’re nowhere near as smooth as the Duesenberg Deluxe, which is by far the best and most stable trem system I have played. The maestro vibrola does affect the general sound of the SG (very audible when playing unplugged) in a good way and mine stays in tune just fine. Of course a bit of nut sauce helps a great deal.

[@lance134679]

@@dimitrilaenen2074 Thanks, that's helpful.

[@ppaesman]

Nice opening jam!

[@tonyottaviani6480]

They sound really nice. I probably wouldn’t buy a relic’d version. Saves on the cost and I end up relic-ing it myself anyway. LOL. Look forward to Pete’s pleked les Paul’s when that video comes out

[@shortie5033]

What’s this backing track!?

[@GazMoz78]

Funny thing the SG init. Literally two of the most influential guitarists EVER play it, pretty much exclusively, but it's always seen as the Les Paul's ugly second cousin. When you listen to a good SG you get that "bright" Les Paul sound from one. The sound that all the people who have been lucky enough to play an actual 50's Les Paul tell you is "the sound". Anyway, love the Phelam blue, can't afford it....

[@benlogan430]

My Murphy lab is a used 2004 SG special with about a spec of nitro left on it. Plus is came with a headstock repair. I’ll definitely trade for one of those! These might be pricey, but come on man look at those sweet instruments. My SG is good, but ML SG is better than a vintage one in my mind. Vintage are real expensive.

[@benlogan430]

Out of all the Gibson’s I’ve had or tried it’s the only headstock repair I’ve come across. And it always stays in tune.

How much money does Murphy lab add to the price . I own both custom shop and usa gibsons and the price difference is unjustified with a bit of patientience you could find a usa gibson as good and sometimes better compared to custom shop stuff and custombuckers are not really better than burstbuckers or 57 classics just different.

Love SGs, but no way could I justify buying a new one that had rusty screws & cracked lacquer. I know it is subjective...
