The Classic SG For Any Generation

The SG Standard ‘61 returns 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 retains the styling of the legendary original models from the early 1960s. It features a solid mahogany body with the classic double-cutaway SG shape, complete with the iconic deeply sculpted body scarfing and double horns that make this model instantly identifiable. The mahogany neck has a fast-playing SlimTaper™ profile and is capped with a bound rosewood fretboard that is equipped with 22 medium jumbo frets and acrylic trapezoid inlays. The fretboard has a 12” radius, so it’s comfortable for first-position chords, and lead lines played higher up the neck won’t fret out. The neck joins the body at the 22nd fret, ensuring easy access to its entire length, making the SG an ideal guitar for lead players. As with the earliest SG models, the SG Standard ’61 features a 5-ply teardrop-shaped pickguard. The nickel-plated hardware includes a classic-style ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece that help contribute to the model’s excellent sustain.

The SG Standard ’61 is equipped with smooth-turning Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons and has a Graph Tech® nut. The pair ensure rock-solid tuning stability. The pickups are 60s Burstbucker™ humbuckers™ for a classic voice with added power and top end. The 2 volume and 2 tone controls feature audio taper potentiometers and are hand-wired with Orange Drop® capacitors. The controls are capped with black Top Hat knobs. The SG Standard ’61 delivers the legendary SG tone, outstanding playability, and American-made Gibson quality that have made the SG the choice of countless players around the world for decades. A Gibson hardshell case is also included.

Great guitar. and it's green!!

"I was super excited to see Gibson release this SG in British Racing Green. It has forever been my favorite color for guitars and when it came to plugging this hole in my guitar collection (an SG), this was a welcome opportunity. The guitar is nearly, for lack of a better word, perfect. It came really well set up and I much much prefer old school wiring over a circuit board. It's much lighter than expected but with the stock tuning machines it doesn't neck dive at all. The pickups are good. They clean up nicely with the volume rolled off with a serviceable wipe on the pots. The setup out of the box was really nice. Medium low action and dead straight neck. The neck is Gibson's nice slim taper. It's a good neck profile and if I can't have my preferred slim asymmetrical taper then it's a good next best option. The finish was flawless. I can't see any defects on it. CS wise shipping was really fast. 10/10 on this one. Thanks Gibson for bringing back this amazing color!!!"
