Description
The Gibson SG may be known for its aggressive looks and snarling rock tone, but this Custom Shop 1961 SG Custom exudes elegance from top to bottom. Trimmed out with lightly antiqued hardware, a classic white finish, and three roaring CustomBucker pickups, this SG Custom is a jaw-dropping axe.
This SG was painstakingly designed to look, sound, and feel just like a real '61 SG Custom. Crafted with an all-mahogany body and a sturdy mahogany neck, this guitar has a rich voice with warm lows and a crisp top-end. It's also a joy to shred on, thanks to its sleek neck, smooth ebony fingerboard, and deep double cutaways that give full access to all 22 frets. And, weighing in at only 7 lbs. 7 oz., you won't have to worry about throwing your back out after a long night of riffing and rocking.
Powering this SG Custom is a trio of Gibson CustomBucker pickups that churn out dead-on PAF tones. These pickups offer tons of sonic versatility, whether you're looking for sweet and delicate or gritty and biting. Play softly, and your SG will sing with clarity and articulation. Dig in with a heavy pick attack, though, and this beauty will growl like you've never heard before.
Complete with a stop bar tailpiece, an ABR-1 Tune-o-Matic bridge, and vintage-aged gold hardware, this Gibson Custom Shop 1961 SG Custom is the perfect guitar for performers and collectors alike.
