Description
The Gibson SG Standard 61 Guitar Center-exlusive 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 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 61R and 61T humbuckers for a vintage-inspired voice with added power and top end. Controls feature audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors.
This Guitar Center-exclusive Gibson SG Standard ’61 comes with a hardshell case.
