Overview

Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity, and attention to detail.

1961 brought some big changes to the Gibson Les Paul; most notably a sleek, double-cutaway, all-mahogany body design that would later be renamed the SG. This Gibson Custom Shop model recreates the first Les Paul SG Customs, complete with Custom-style cosmetics, gold hardware, and a Sideways Vibrola, a side-pull action vibrato that is similar to those found on models from the early 1960s. It also has a bound Authentic '61 Thin Profile mahogany neck, Grover tuners, an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, three Custombucker pickups, CTS vintage-taper pots, and Black Beauty capacitors.
