Gibson Custom Shop 60th Anniversary 1961 SG Les Paul Standard Cherry Red VOS Electric Guitar

Gibson Custom Shop 60th Anniversary 1961 SG Les Paul Standard Cherry Red VOS

1961 brought some big changes to the Gibson Les Paul, most notably a sleek, all-new, double-cutaway, all-mahogany body design that would later be renamed the SG. Gibson had decided to replace the Les Paul with this new model; we’ll we all know how that went.. From ‘62 the Les Paul as we know and love it was on the up and the renamed SG became a model of it’s own . These guitars from ‘61 then are the original Gibson SG guitars yet have a Les Paul headstock brand.

This awesome Gibson Custom Shop model recreates those cherished originals, complete with a Sideways Vibrola, a side-pull action vibrato that is similar to those found on models from the early 1960s. It also has a bound Authentic '61 Thin Profile mahogany neck, Kluson tuners, an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, two Custombucker pickups, CTS vintage-taper pots, and Black Beauty capacitors.
