The Gibson SG Standard ’61 in Vintage Cherry delivers the iconic tone, feel, and styling of the early 1960s SG models that defined a generation. With its lightweight solid mahogany body and instantly recognisable double-cutaway design, this guitar offers exceptional resonance, sustain, and effortless upper fret access.
The SlimTaper mahogany neck provides a fast, comfortable playing experience, while the bound rosewood fretboard with a 12” radius ensures smooth playability for both chord work and lead playing. The neck joint at the 22nd fret allows unrestricted access across the entire fretboard, making it ideal for expressive lead work.
Loaded with a pair of 60s Burstbucker pickups, the SG Standard ’61 delivers classic PAF-style tones with added clarity, bite, and top-end response. Hand-wired controls with Orange Drop capacitors ensure precise tonal shaping and dynamic response.
Finished in a classic Vintage Cherry gloss nitrocellulose lacquer with vintage-correct hardware and appointments, this is a true recreation of one of Gibson’s most celebrated designs.
