The Gibson SG Standard '61 Tobacco Sunburst Perimeter takes up the design and feel of the original '61 guitar and proves to be a first-class blues and rock guitar. In addition to the mahogany body in the official, double-horned contour cut, Gibson relies on a narrow "Slim Taper" mahogany neck for excellent playing characteristics right up to the highest registers. Gibson '60s burst bucker with hand-wired circuitry conjures up the spirit of the legendary PAFs, providing powerful clean and drive sounds on the guitar amp. Last but not least, Gibson equips the SG Standard '61 Tobacco Sunburst Perimeter with the tried and tested Hardware in the form of an aluminum stopbar, ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and Vintage Deluxe tuners.

When building the SG Standard '61, Gibson naturally resorts to the official set-neck construction with neck and body made of mahogany, which in combination with the thin Nitro-Finish creates the basis for a powerful and sustain-rich sound. While the official doublecut design promises comfortable handling of the guitar both sitting and standing, the slim taper neck profile guarantees agile playing characteristics in all positions of the 22-fret rosewood fingerboard.

Two Gibson '60s Burstbuckers are responsible for the electric sound conversion of the SG Standard '61 Tobacco Sunburst Perimeter guitar. By using classic Alnico V magnets and non-waxed, unevenly wound coils, the pickups are clearly inspired by the legendary PAF humbuckers of the golden era and elicit not only creamy overdrive sounds for Blues and rock, but also airy cleans for sensitive chord and melody playing. A hand-wired circuit with high-quality Orange Drop capacitors and separate volume and tone pots for each pickup also allows the sound to be precisely adjusted.

Of course, Gibson completes the SG Standard '61 Tobacco Sunburst Perimeter electric guitar with reliable hardware in traditional vintage style. A stopbar tailpiece made of lightweight aluminum guides the strings over the proven ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, which was developed by the legendary Gibson president Ted McCarty and provides generous adjustment options for precise intonation and comfortable string action. In addition, Gibson Vintage Deluxe tuners on the "Open Book" headstock keep the electric guitar securely and stably in tune.
