Description
The Gibson SG Standard ’61 Faded Maestro Vibrola electric guitar returns to the classic, much-loved design that shaped sound across generations and genres of music. It features a satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish that gives it the look and feel of a long-treasure musical companion. It offers smooth vibrato effects and the classic styling of the Lyre engraving on the tailpiece cover. The SG Standard ’61 comes with a SlimTaper mahogany neck and a bound rosewood fingerboard. The mahogany body has deeply sculpted body scarfing, a 5-ply teardrop pickguard and a 22nd-fret neck joint. The nickel-plated hardware includes an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and Vintage Deluxe tuners. The pickups are open-coil ’60s Burstbuckers for a classic voice with added power and top end, and the controls feature audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors.

The Gibson SG Standard ’61 Faded Maestro Vibrola comes with a hardshell case.

    This is my third gibson and boy does it take the cake! Beautiful sound killer body and trem bar feels amazing in your hand best part even with using the trem it stays in tune pretty good! The only con is that once you get your hands on it you won't have time for anything else🤘🏽
