Description
Gibson SG Standard '61 - Vintage Cherry
Step back into the year that changed rock history. When the Les Paul took a hiatus in 1961, this "Solid Guitar" emerged with a radical double-cutaway design that offered unprecedented access to the upper frets and a sleek, lightweight feel. This reissue captures that exact lightning in a bottle, featuring the deeply sculpted mahogany body and the iconic 5-ply teardrop pickguard that defined an era of rebellion. Whether you’re channeling the high-voltage energy of Angus Young or the soulful, woman-tone licks of Eric Clapton during his Cream days, this SG delivers the legacy and the look.
The heart of this beast lies in its all-mahogany construction, paired with a SlimTaper neck that feels like it was built for speed. To ensure the voice matches the vintage aesthetic, Gibson loaded this beauty with 60s Burstbucker humbuckers. These pickups are wired with Orange Drop capacitors to give you that perfect balance of mid-range punch and high-end chime. It’s a harmonically rich experience that cleans up beautifully but isn't afraid to get nasty when you dim the volume and kick on the overdrive.
