Weight: 3.0kg

Introduced in 1961, the SG Standard is a classic guitar that was originally called the 'Les Paul' model, but was renamed the 'SG'(which stands for 'Solid Guitar') in 1963 after Les Paul and Gibson ended their endorsement deal. It was designed to be a lightweight alternative to the Les Paul and features a thinner, double cutaway mahogany body, slim-tapered neck and a rosewood fingerboard. Players of the SG include Eric Clapton, Angus Young, Derek Trucks, Peter Townsend and many more

The Classic SG For Any Generation
The SG Standard ‘61 returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played, and loved -- shaping sound across generations and genres of music. 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.
