    Gibson SG Standard '61 Guitar, Custom Color

    If you’re looking for a guitar that screams attitude and delivers iconic tone, the Gibson SG Standard '61 is your six-stringed soulmate.

    Famous for its devilish horns and rebellious spirit, the SG crashed the party in 1961 and never left. This modern incarnation gives you all the vintage swagger of the original, with playability and power that feels right at home in any genre. It's a lean, mean, rock-and-roll machine!

    Gibson SG Standard '61 Your Ticket to Timeless Tone

    Your Ticket to Timeless Tone

    The SG Standard '61 is more than just a guitar; it's a piece of rock history that fits perfectly in your hands. From the first chord, you'll feel the raw energy that made this model a favorite of legends. This is your trusted partner for crafting those searing leads, chunky rhythms, and everything in between. Get ready to plug in and let loose.

    • Classic 61R & 61T Humbuckers: At the heart of the SG's sound are its Burstbucker 61R (neck) and 61T (bridge) pickups. These humbuckers deliver the classic PAF-style voice with an extra dose of power and top-end clarity. They're articulate enough for clean passages and aggressive enough to drive your amp into sweet overdrive, giving you that signature SG growl.
    • Handwired Controls for Pure Signal: Under the hood, you’ll find audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors. This premium, handwired setup ensures your signal remains pure and responsive. Roll back the volume without losing treble, and dial in the perfect amount of warmth or bite with precision.

    Playability That Begs to Be Played

    Designed for speed and comfort, the SG Standard '61 is built to be played for hours. Its fast-playing neck and lightweight body make it a joy to perform with, whether you're on stage or in the studio.

    • SlimTaper Mahogany Neck: Say goodbye to hand fatigue. The SG features a fast and comfortable SlimTaper neck profile that feels instantly familiar. It allows for effortless movement up and down the fretboard, perfect for complex chords and lightning-fast solos.
    • Bound Rosewood Fingerboard: The smooth rosewood fingerboard not only looks classic but feels fantastic under your fingers. Topped with acrylic trapezoid inlays, it provides a warm tonal complement to the mahogany body and a slick surface for bends and vibrato.

    Gibson SG Standard '61 Iconic Design Meets Rock-Solid Build

    Iconic Design Meets Rock-Solid Build

    The SG’s looks are as legendary as its sound. With its deeply sculpted curves and vintage appointments, this guitar is a true head-turner that’s built to last.

    • Classic Mahogany Body: The lightweight, solid mahogany body is the tonal foundation of the SG, providing warmth, resonance, and incredible sustain. The distinctive "horns" and deeply sculpted scarfing allow you to access those higher frets.
    • Vintage-Style Hardware: The nickel-plated hardware, including a classic ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and Keystone tuners, not only looks the part but offers rock-solid tuning stability and precise intonation. This guitar stays in tune, no matter how hard you play.
    • Teardrop Pickguard: The classic 5-ply black teardrop pickguard completes the vintage '61 aesthetic, providing a striking contrast against the custom color finish while protecting the body.

    A Modern Classic Ready for the Stage

    The Gibson SG Standard '61 combines the best of vintage design with modern reliability. It’s a versatile and powerful guitar that delivers the tone, feel, and look that has inspired musicians for decades. Whether you're playing blues, rock, or metal, the SG is ready to make a statement.
