Overview

The Gibson SG Standard '61 returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played, and loved -- shaping sound across generations and genres of music. And now, it's available in attention-grabbing custom colors!

Watch as we demo the SG Standard '61 in our exclusive video:

In 1961, the Les Paul model was put on hiatus, and 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 and a bound rosewood fingerboard. The mahogany body features deeply sculpted body scarfing, a 5-ply teardrop pickguard, and a 22nd-fret neck joint. The nickel-plated hardware includes a classic-style Tune-O-Matic bridge and Keystone tuners. The pickups are 60s Burstbucker humbuckers for a classic voice with added power and top end. Controls feature audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors. A hardshell case is also included.

"Not a 5-Star Guitar"

Overall:

(see rating details)

Well, it looks like the other reviewers were right about this Guitars overall quality control. I read what they had to say and ordered it anyway, because I really love me a TV-Yellow SG. So I gambled that I would be the guy who got the one they finished properly. Nope!! My SG came with some crooked screws around the pickguard, and a weird "haze" on the pickup plates, maybe from the polish they now use? Minor stuff, but not cool for a $2k slab-body production unit. Anyways I (do) love the 60's Burstbuckers. They didn't disappoint with that rich vintage growl.They scream and whisper equally well with lots of gain or when dialed back. The play is pretty solid, but here again is where Gibson clearly let someone unskilled file the fretboard. It's wildly uneven with tons of marks.Bottom Line: I like the guitar more than I don't, but I'll prolly trade it off for something else in a few months. What I do need to rave about is zZounds! They absolutely deserve the recent accolades they've been getting.Everyone involved with my research and subsequent purchase of this instrument made it a pleasure. And thank the guitar gods for zZounds easy payment plans!!!
