Straight from Gibson USA, this Limited Edition SG Standard ’61 brings the iconic SG formula into a sleek ebony finish with a set of standout appointments that make it a truly special release. Built around the legendary double-cutaway mahogany body, this SG delivers the fast feel, resonant punch, and unmistakable attitude that have made the model a staple for generations of players.
The gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish gives the ebony body a deep, refined sheen, while the mahogany neck features Gibson’s SlimTaper profile for a smooth, quick-playing feel. A rosewood fingerboard with a 12" radius, 22 Medium Jumbo frets, and acrylic trapezoid inlays provides a familiar and comfortable playing surface from open chords to high-register leads.
For tone, this limited SG is loaded with a pair of Gibson T-Type humbucking pickups, offering classic warmth, bite, and articulation. Hand-wired electronics with Orange Drop capacitors give the controls a premium vintage-inspired response, making it easy to shape everything from rich rhythm tones to cutting lead sounds.
High-end hardware rounds out the build, including a GraphTech nut, Gibson Vintage Deluxe tuning machines with Keystone buttons, an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, and a striking gold Maestro Vibrola tailpiece. Gold-finished hardware and gold-insert Witch Hat control knobs add an elegant visual touch against the black finish.
Complete with a Gibson hardshell case and accessory kit, this Limited Edition SG Standard ’61 is a bold, timeless instrument with classic Gibson character and collectible appeal.
