When the Les Paul model was put on hiatus in 1961, a brand new design stepped forward and evolved into what is known today as the SG. Returning to the classic design that made it the first choice for a plethora of players from all over the globe, defining sound across generations and genres of music, the Gibson SG Standard '61 offers players a time-honored design with brilliant refinements to suit the players of today. This guitar's SlimTaper Mahogany neck and 22-fret Rosewood fretboard offer superior playing comfort and performance, while the deeply sculpted body enables effortless access to the highest frets.

Voiced by a pair of 60s Burstbucker humbucking pickups, this guitar's classic voice and powerful high end is perfect for players from rock, to blues, to country, and everywhere in between. Rounded out with classic nickel-plated hardware, like a Tune-O-Matic bridge with aluminum stopbar and Keystone machine heads, this guitar is authentically Gibson through and through, and is sure to find a home in any serious player's collection.
