The timeless design of the SG Standard ‘61 remains true to its origins, capturing the hearts of musicians and shaping sound across different genres and generations. Originally introduced in 1961 as a new, solid guitar model, the legendary double-cutaway shape with the signature deep body scarves and double horns has been retained in the Gibson SG Standard ‘61. Fashioned from solid mahogany, this guitar has a sleek, SlimTaper™ mahogany neck and a bound rosewood fretboard adorned with 22 medium jumbo frets and acrylic trapezoid inlays. 

The Gibson SG Standard '61 Blue Pelham Blue Burst offers a 12" fretboard radius, which provides comfort for first-position chords and prevents fretting out on higher notes. With the neck connecting to the body at the 22nd fret, players have easy access to its full length, making it an ideal choice for lead guitarists. The SG Standard '61 stays true to its earliest models with a 5-ply teardrop-shaped pickguard and nickel-plated hardware, including an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece for excellent sustain. Additionally, the Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons and Graph Tech® nut ensure reliable tuning stability, perfect for any performance. 

The SG Standard '61 boasts a timeless sound with modern influence, thanks to its 60s Burstbucker™ humbuckers™ and hand-wired Orange Drop® capacitors. The 2 volume and 2 tone controls feature audio taper potentiometers and are topped with classic black Top Hat knobs. Countless players worldwide have chosen the legendary SG for its signature tone, exceptional playability, and superior Gibson craftsmanship. Also included is a high-quality Gibson hardshell case.
