Gibson SG Standard ’61 Electric Guitar – Translucent Teal

Iconic Tone and Timeless Design – The Gibson SG Standard ’61 Electric Guitar in Translucent Teal

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.
