Description
The Gibson SG Standard '61 in TV Yellow delivers everything players love about the original SG design, now with a bold custom finish that adds a little extra character without changing the formula. Built for players who want a fast-playing neck, classic humbucker tone, and rock-solid tuning stability, this model is just as capable on stage as it is in the studio. It's a great fit for lead players or rhythm guitarists looking for a lighter solidbody that still packs plenty of bite.
You get a pair of 60s Burstbuckers for vintage-voiced power with clear top end and that unmistakable SG midrange growl. The hand-wired control setup with Orange Drop capacitors gives the tone circuit a smooth, musical response, and the traditional ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge with aluminum stopbar delivers excellent sustain and stability. It's a true nod to the original SGs of the early '60s, right down to the 5-ply black pickguard and nickel hardware.
Playability is effortless thanks to the SlimTaper neck profile, 12" radius rosewood fingerboard, and 22 medium jumbo frets. It's lightweight, responsive, and the upper fret access is wide open. With its clean finish and tight build quality, this one just feels dependable the moment you pick it up. We've seen these hold up well in demanding setups, and it's a solid pick for anyone after classic Gibson tone with modern reliability.
