I am reorganizing my collection after some major purchases and have to let some great ones go. This guitar has under three hours playing time. It has been kept in a humidity controlled smoke free environment. Comes with COA and a Gibson strap. I am a busy professional and am pricing it to move. I am giving a three day review period. If returned there is a two hundred dollar restocking fee and it must be shipped fully insured deducted from refund. Shipping only in the continental United States.
Description:
Gibson Custom paid just as much attention to this guitar's electronics as they did to its aesthetics. Every part of its internal signal path was designed to deliver dead-on 1961 SG tone. Of course, it's next to impossible to find genuine '50s PAFs (even for Gibson). Instead, the 1961 Les Paul SG Standard Reissue VOS sports a pair of Gibson's Custombucker Alnico III unpotted humbuckers. The Custombucker is the most historically accurate PAF copy ever. Take it from Sweetwater's guitar experts: the Gibson Custom 1961 Les Paul SG Standard Reissue VOS nails the original look, sound, and feel of the legendary '61 Les Paul SG Standard.
SlimTaper neck carve and Plek'd frets for optimized playability
Comfort and playability were two of Gibson's primary concerns when they were designing the 1961 Les Paul SG Standard Reissue VOS. You'll be delighted in how this guitar's fast, 1960 SlimTaper neck profile comfortably fits in your hand. For your playing pleasure, the rosewood fingerboard is buffed to silky smoothness and bound, so no fret ends impede your dexterity. The frets are dressed to perfection using a Plek Pro machine for optimized playability. Typically reserved for top-dollar custom guitars, this process levels the frets with pinpoint precision, providing you with the most playable fretboard you're likely to own.
Vintage Original Sheen finish, for the look and feel of a classic
Gibson Custom's Vintage Original Sheen finish option comes standard on Custom Shop Historic Reissue models. The VOS finish package includes lightly aged parts that imparts an authentic vintage patina. The nitrocellulose finished it buffed to a light matte appearance, giving a look and feel of a guitar that has been lovingly played and cared for over the years.
