Gibson SG Standard '61, Golden Mist Poly
The classic SG for every generation, now in custom colors
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 colors. In 1961, the Les Paul™ model was put on hiatus, and an all-new design evolved into what is today known as the SG™, which stands for “solid guitar.” The Gibson SG Standard ’61 retains the styling of the legendary original models from the early 1960s. It features a solid mahogany body with the classic double-cutaway SG shape, complete with the iconic deeply sculpted body scarfing and double horns that make this model instantly identifiable.
The mahogany neck has a fast-playing SlimTaper™ profile and is capped with a bound rosewood fretboard equipped with 22 medium jumbo frets and adorned with acrylic trapezoid inlays. The fretboard has a 12” radius, so it’s comfortable for first-position chords, and lead lines played higher up the neck won’t fret out. The neck joins the body at the 22nd fret, ensuring easy access to its entire length, making the SG an ideal guitar for lead players.
As with the earliest SG models, the SG Standard ’61 features the smaller, 5-ply teardrop-shaped pickguard. The nickel-plated hardware includes a classic-style, fully adjustable ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and an aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece that helps deliver the model’s excellent sustain, along with precise intonation. The SG Standard ’61 is equipped with smooth-turning Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons and has a Graph Tech® nut. The pair ensures rock-solid tuning stability.
The pickups in the SG Standard ’61 are 60s Burstbucker™ humbuckers™ for a classic voice with added power and top end. Individual volume and tone controls for each pickup are included. They feature audio taper potentiometers and are hand-wired with Orange Drop® capacitors. The controls are fitted with black Top Hat knobs with silver reflectors. The SG Standard ’61 delivers the legendary SG tone, outstanding playability, and American-made Gibson quality that have made the SG the choice of countless players around the world for decades. A Gibson hardshell case is also included for safe storage and transportation.
