Description
The Gibson SG Standard '61 Faded in Vintage Cherry Satin is built for players who want the unmistakable SG voice and feel with a broken-in look right out of the case. If you are into fast necks, clear upper fret access, and a guitar that responds well to both clean dynamics and driven tones, this one fits the bill nicely. The faded nitrocellulose finish gives the classic SG shape a slightly worn, understated look that still feels true to the early 1960s design.
The solid mahogany body keeps the tone warm and resonant, while the double-cutaway design makes higher frets easy to reach. A mahogany neck with a SlimTaper profile keeps the feel quick and comfortable, and the bound rosewood fingerboard with a 12 inch radius and 22 medium jumbo frets makes both chord work and expressive lead playing feel natural. The traditional teardrop pickguard keeps the vintage styling intact and stays true to the early SG Standard design.
A pair of 60s Burstbucker humbuckers provide open, harmonically rich tones inspired by early Patent Applied For pickup designs. They deliver clarity, strong midrange presence, and a sweet edge when pushed into overdrive. Individual volume and tone controls for each pickup, wired with Orange Drop capacitors, give you a wide range of usable tones. An ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, and Vintage Deluxe tuners help maintain solid tuning stability. We like this one because it captures the classic SG feel and voice in a straightforward instrument that is ready for stage or studio.
