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.

"A good, but not "great" SG"

What is so difficult about getting the finish right on these TV Yellow SG's? This will be the 2nd one I've tried, (the first being from another online retailer).This SG was more competently finished but still had some small but glaring factory flaws in the finish. The headstock has a 1/4-inch spot on the corner with no black veneer/paint. And the scraping around the headstock is pretty sloppy, with uneven TV Yellow & black mixing around the edges.That's about it, and although these little defects were not enough for me to return this SG...I still feel compelled to make note that a $2000 guitar left the factory as a B-stock, and was sold/listed as a pristine model. I dunno.Maybe I'm too critical, but then again I absolutely didn't have ANY finish or quality control issues with the Epiphone Adam Jones model for hundreds of dollars less and made in China.What the heck Gibson.All that said, how does this play/sound??I can honestly report that the guitar performs as it should. Tones are very SG in nature and ultimately what a player would expect from a rock n' roll machine like this. The '61 buckers have a nice vintage vibe that's rings a little fatter than the standard SG.And the neck is a wee bit chunkier too.The playability and overall versatility ultimately made me wanna keep this one.
Musical Background:
Still love playing after all these years
