Overview

The iconic silhouette returns, with dual Burstbucker pickups.

The Gibson SG Standard ’61 electric guitar returns to the classic design that made it popularly played and much-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 retains the styling of the original, with a slim taper 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 61R and 61T humbuckers for a vintage-inspired voice with added power and top end. Controls feature audio taper potentiometers and orange drop capacitors. Comes with a hardshell case.

Features

  • Mahogany body with sculpted body scarfing
  • Mahogany neck in a slim taper profile
  • Bound rosewood fingerboard with acrylic trapezoid inlays
  • Burstbucker 61R at the neck and Burstbucker 61T at the bridge
