SG Standard '61
(Vintage Cherry)
A Classic SG For Any GenerationThe Gibson SG Standard ‘61 goes back to the classic design that made it relevant, played, and loved, shaping sound across generations and genres of music. In 1961, the Les Paul™ model was put on hiatus, and an all-new design evolved into what is today known as the SG™ or “solid guitar.” The Gibson SG Standard '61 features the same styling of the original, with a SlimTaper™ mahogany neck and a bound rosewood fingerboard.
The mahogany body features deeply sculpted body scarfing, a 5-ply teardrop pickguard, and a 22nd-fret neck joint. The nickel-plated hardware includes a classic-style Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and Keystone tuners. The pickups are 60s Burstbucker™ humbuckers™ for a classic voice with extra power and top end. Controls also include audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop® capacitors.
