Gibson 60th Anniversary 1961 Les Paul SG Standard with Sideways Vibrola - Cherry Red
Encapsulating the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and tonal excellence, each instrument in Gibson's Custom Shop celebrates a storied legacy through precision, authenticity, and attention to detail. The Gibson Les Paul underwent massive changes throughout 1961, in particular, a fresh double-cutaway body design with an all-Mahogany construction that would later be renamed the SG. Faithfully recreating the coveted and highly sought-after vintage original, this Gibson Custom Shop model comes complete with a Sideways Vibrola, a side-pull action vibrato system, similar to those featured on early 1960's models. Rounded out with a bound Authentic '61 Thin Profile Mahogany neck, Kluson machine heads, and an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, and voiced by a pair of Custombucker pickups with CTS vintage-taper pots and Black Beauty capacitors, this guitar delivers authentic Gibson performance for an immersive and rewarding playing experience.
