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 featuring 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 60s
Burstbucker™ humbuckers™ for a classic voice with added power and
top end. Controls feature audio taper potentiometers and Orange
Drop® capacitors. A hardshell case is also included.
