Overview
The Gibson SG Standard '61 returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played, and loved -- shaping sound across generations and genres of music. And now, it's available in attention-grabbing custom colors!
Watch as we demo the SG Standard '61 in our exclusive video:
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.

"Amazing guitar!"
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
I recently purchased the Cardinal Red Burst from Zzounds. This guitar is awesome. Out of the box, the action was spectacular. Lower and easy to play. The burstbucker pickups sound amazing. The slim tapered neck is an absolute joy to play. The guitar weighs nothing, compared to my other guitars. I haven't had any tuning issues with it.The color actually looks better in person than it does in the pictures. This is my first SG from Gibson. I would buy this guitar again and I recommend it. The price of 1699.99 was what caught my attention first.I can't really list a Pros and Cons because I knew what I was buying. The guitar exceeded my expectations.
