Gibson SG Standard '61 - Pelham Blue Burst
The SG Standard '61 returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played, and loved - shaping sound across generations and genres of music. And now it's available in custom colours. 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 featuring a SlimTaper 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 60s Burstbucker humbuckers for a classic voice with added power and top end. Controls feature audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors. A hardshell case is also included.
