Gibson SG 61 Reissue Electric Guitar with Case

The Gibson SG 61 Reissue features a beautifully finished mahogany body and set in mahogany neck with a 22-fret, bound rosewood fingerboard.

In 1961, the traditional Les Paul Standard received a makeover that included a thinner body with sharply pointed horns and eventually a new name - the SG. The 61 reissue is equipped with a pair of Gibson 57 Classic Humbucker pickups with a three way selector switch and a Tune-O-Matic bridge with a stop tailpiece. Additional features include trapezoid inlays and the small pickguard and nickel-plated hardware of the original 61.

Gibson Guitars
Gibson's designs have become true classics. The Gibson Les Paul, SG, ES-175, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, Firebird, and Blueshawks are a testament to Gibson's wide appeal, spanning more than four decades of music styles.

Gibson's close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement models from B.B. King, Chet Atkins, Howard Roberts, Herb Ellis, Ace Frehley, Joe Perry, Angus Young, Gary Moore and Nikki Sixx.

Today's Gibson electric guitars represent the history as well as the future of the electric guitar.

Subject:Best investment i ever made
Quality: amazing
Sound: stock pickups are great, but if they're not your thing it's an easy fix.
Reliability: actually amazingly durable, short neck set scared me when i purchased it, but it actually seems to hold very well.
Overall: I absolutely love this SG... best neck of any guitar ever made, and everyone i know agrees.
Playability and Feel: the lightest guitar ever made. I know of squiers and other cheap laminate guitars that are heavier than this guitar, but the mahogany really gives it a nice balence. Once again, the best neck of any guitar ever made. Hands down.
Tone: Standard Gibson PAF sound. Great for anything, but if you'd prefer a certain sound you can always swap for something else.
Finish: nice dark cherry finish, different from what you get on SGs now. The short Pickguard gives more room for the finish to shine too.
Action: amazing.
Skill Level: Intermediate
Do you own this product?: yes
