Detail 01
One-piece lightweight mahogany body
The body is made from a single piece of lightweight mahogany.

Independent shopping perspective
A Murphy Lab take on the 1964 SG Standard, this Cherry Red reissue combines a one-piece lightweight mahogany body with a solid mahogany Medium C neck and Indian rosewood fingerboard. Two unpotted Alnico III Custombuckers run through a three-way switch, with an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and Maestro Vibrola completing the hardware. Ultra Light aging brings lacquer checking and a restrained amount of playing wear, rather than a heavily worn appearance.
