collapse expand iconDescription

Reviving a well-loved electric guitar design with a return to its roots, Gibson's SG Standard '61 with Maestro Vibrola tailpiece brings back a true classic. Complete with the classic "Lyre" engraved tailpiece cover, this model adds smooth and subtle vibrato effects to the classic SG styling. The mahogany body features a deeply sculpted body scarfing, a 5-ply teardrop pickguard and a 22nd-fret neck joint. The nickel-plated hardware includes a classic ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and keystone tuners in addition to the Maestro Vibrola tailpiece. The pickups are 61R and 61T humbuckers for a classic voice with added power and top end. Controls feature audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors.
