Gibson

Description

Reviving a well-loved electric guitar design with a return to its roots, Gibson's SG Standard 61 with the iconic sideways-pull Maestro Vibrola tailpiece brings back a true classic. Found on the very earliest 1960s models, this tailpiece adds smooth and subtle vibrato effects to the classic SG styling. The mahogany body features a deeply sculpted body scarfng, 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 sideways 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.
