The Gibson Custom 1961 SG Les Paul Standard Reissue stopbar VOS left-handed electric guitar features all-solid woods, historic hide-glue construction methods, the finest vintage replica parts and materials available, and the instantly recognizable, powerful tone of pure rock and roll.

A 1960s SG has been the favorite of some of the most iconic guitarists, including Angus Young, Tony Iommi, Robby Krieger, George Harrison, Dickey Betts, Gary Rossington, and Eric Clapton, to name a few. The SG’s devilish points and curves, blistering humbucker tone and fast-playing neck help to make it one of the most coveted and revered 1960s Gibson models. This Custom Shop Historic Reissue SG continues the legendary magic of the originals.
