Description
In 1961, the Gibson Les Paul underwent a radical redesign, resulting in the creation of the SG. With its deep double-cutaways, sleek mahogany body, and snarling pickups, the SG would take the rock 'n' roll world by storm. This Custom Shop 1961 Les Paul SG Standard pays tribute to those first models ever built, and it's perfect for musicians chasing that golden era Gibson sound.
The Gibson Custom '61 Les Paul SG Standard starts with a solid mahogany body, giving it a resonant sound with deep lows, punchy mids, and loads of sustain. Guitarists will love its smooth contours and fast-playing mahogany neck, which make it exceptionally comfortable for long gigs and practice sessions. And, thanks to its Ultra Light Aged treatment that includes a gently worn finish and lightly relic'd hardware, this guitar looks and feels just like a genuine 1961 SG.
Gibson equipped this model with a pair of CME Custombuckers that have been meticulously designed to recreate the unmistakable sound of '50s PAFs. Flip on the neck pickup and roll the tone down, and these pickups will deliver a full-bodied warmth that's great for rhythm playing. Select the bridge pickup, crank the tone, and kick on your favorite dirt pedals, and this SG will howl and wail unlike anything you've heard before.
Complete with a period-correct Les Paul truss rod cover and an Antique Polaris White finish, the Gibson Custom 1961 Les Paul SG Standard is excellent for players seeking a top-notch rock 'n' roll machine. Contact us today to make it yours!
