The SG Standard '61 returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played & loved, shaping sound across generations & genres of music. In 1961, the Les Paul model was put on hiatus & an all-new design evolved into what is today known as the SG or "solid guitar." The Gibson SG Standard '61 retains the styling of the original featuring a SlimTaper mahogany neck & a bound rosewood fingerboard. The mahogany body features deeply sculpted body scarfing, a 5-ply teardrop pickguard & a 22nd-fret neck joint. The nickel-plated hardware includes a classic-style Tune-O-Matic bridge & Keystone tuners. The pickups are 60s Burstbucker humbuckers for a classic voice with added power & top end. Controls feature audio taper potentiometers & Orange Drop capacitors. Set up ready to play straight out of the case.

Cosmetic Condition: Excellent condition - very clean with some surface scratches & a bit of finish chipping along the treble side of the headstock just above the nut.

Neck: Slim Taper mahogany neck with cream binding & black side-dots. Rosewood fingerboard with acrylic trapezoid inlays. Medium Jumbo frets are clean with no wear. Gibson Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons. 1 11/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works perfectly.

Body: Contoured, solid mahogany body finished in Vintage Cherry. Aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece & ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge with nickel hardware. 5-ply small black pickguard. Guitar weighs 6 lbs 1.9 oz & is exceptionally resonant!

Electronics: Gibson 60s Burstbuckers with black bezels. Dual volume & tone controls with 3-way toggle switch. Black "top hat" knobs with silver reflectors. Hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors. All electronics are in perfect working condition.

Case: Original hardshell case included along with accessories.
