Mark Agnesi Talks About The SG Standard '61 Model

collapse expand iconDescription

The Gibson SG Standard ’61 electric guitar returns to the classic design that made it popularly played and much-loved, shaping sound across generations and genres of music. 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, with a slim taper 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 61R and 61T humbuckers for a vintage-inspired voice with added power and top end. Controls feature audio taper potentiometers and orange drop capacitors. Comes with a hardshell case.
