Gibson SG 61 Reissue Electric Guitar with CaseThe 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.
