The Gibson SG Standard '61 Faded carries forward one of the most influential electric guitar designs ever created, blending the unmistakable feel and voice of the original early-1960s SG with modern reliability. Available now at Haggerty's Music, this American-made classic features a satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish in Faded Vintage Cherry that gives it the comfortable look and feel of a well-loved vintage instrument from the very first chord. Lightweight, resonant, and remarkably responsive, it captures everything players have loved about the SG for generations.

Its solid mahogany body and SlimTaper mahogany neck create a lively playing experience with exceptional upper-fret access thanks to the iconic double-cutaway design. A bound rosewood fingerboard with acrylic trapezoid inlays, 22 medium jumbo frets, and a comfortable 12" radius offers effortless playability whether you're laying down rhythm parts or soaring through lead work. Vintage-inspired details such as the small 5-ply teardrop pickguard, nickel hardware, and Vintage Deluxe tuners complete the authentic early-'60s aesthetic.

Power comes from a matched pair of Gibson 60s Burstbucker humbuckers, delivering airy cleans, articulate midrange, and the dynamic overdrive that helped define countless legendary recordings. Hand-wired controls with Orange Drop capacitors provide exceptional responsiveness, while the ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, and Graph Tech nut ensure excellent sustain and tuning stability. Complete with a Gibson hardshell case and accessory kit, this SG Standard '61 Faded is ready for the stage, studio, or collection.
