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.
