2024 Gibson SG Standard '61 - Vintage Cherry | USA BurstBucker Humbucker 3.1kg | CoA OHSC

I am offering a Gibson SG Standard '61 VC from 2024, the made in Nashville, Tennessee (USA), '60s reissue model from the USA Original Collection with light mahogany body (total weight 3.1kg!), set mahogany neck with '60s Slim Taper neck profile and 43mm TUSQ nut, cream binding rosewood fingerboard with trapezoid pearl inlays, two sonically versatile Gibson '60s BurstBucker humbucker pickups, angled mahogany headstock with Crown Pearl logo inlay and Gibson Vintage Style Deluxe tuners with Keystone knobs in a thin vintage cherry nitrocellulose finish with elegant nickel hardware in mint condition, including brown Gibson hardshell case, manufacturer's papers and professional setup with 10-gauge Ernie Ball strings.

This infamous, devilish high-end version of the Gibson SG is unmistakably based on the legendary '61 SG, the blues and rock board that has shaped generations of musicians around the world. Carlos, Santana, Angus Young, Ace Frehley, and Derek Trucks—this guitar has been played by a multitude of renowned guitar heroes and continues to inspire them to this day!

This Gibson '61 SG Standard continues that legacy: this guitar comes with a traditional solid mahogany body in the official double-horned contour cut, which, under the thin Vintage Cherry Nitro finish, has excellent resonance and a low weight of 3.1kg. The mahogany neck is set into the body and, thanks to the narrow '60s Slim Taper neck profile in combination with the short 628mm scale length and the 43mm TUSQ nut, offers excellent playability right up to the highest registers.

Two Gibson '60s Burstbucker pickups are responsible for the SG Standard '61's electric sound. Using classic Alnico V magnets and unwaxed, unevenly wound coils, the pickups are clearly based on the legendary PAF humbuckers of the golden era and elicit not only creamy overdrive sounds for blues and rock from the guitar amplifier, but also airy cleans for soulful chord and melody playing. A hand-wired circuit with high-quality Orange Drop capacitors and separate volume and tone pots for each pickup also allows for precise sound adjustment.

A sound sample of the model can be found above at the end of the photo gallery.

An ABR-1 Tune-o-Matic bridge ensures clean intonation, and Gibson Vintage-Style Deluxe tuners provide reliable tuning stability.
