SG Standard '61 Vintage Cherry
The Gibson SG Standard ’61 in Vintage Cherry is a tribute to the iconic design that redefined electric guitars in the early 1960s. Born from innovation when the Les Paul™ was temporarily retired, the SG™ (short for "solid guitar") emerged as a bold new standard in tone and style. Crafted with a solid mahogany body and the instantly recognizable double-cutaway shape, this guitar delivers a perfect blend of aesthetic appeal and sonic performance. Deeply sculpted body contours and double horns enhance playability, while the teardrop-shaped 5-ply pickguard completes its vintage-inspired look.
The SlimTaper™ mahogany neck offers lightning-fast playability and joins the body at the 22nd fret, ensuring full access to the bound rosewood fretboard. Equipped with 60s Burstbucker™ pickups, the SG Standard '61 delivers a powerful and articulate tone with a touch of vintage warmth. Hand-wired controls with Orange Drop® capacitors ensure precise tonal shaping, while the ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge, aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, and Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons provide rock-solid tuning stability and sustain. Paired with a Graph Tech® nut, this guitar is built for reliable performance. Delivered in a hardshell case, the SG Standard '61 combines legendary heritage with modern craftsmanship, ready to inspire any generation of players.
