Iconic SG Body and Neck

The SG's all-mahogany body and neck have resonated on thousands of classic rock recordings. On this 60th Anniversary model, Gibson Custom Shop has expertly replicated the original SG shape and slim, fast neck profile. The solid mahogany construction produces full lows, rich mids and airy highs with piano-like sustain. The long-tenon neck joint maximizes tone transfer for articulate note definition. The smooth ebony fingerboard and medium-jumbo frets make expressive, vocal-like bends and vibratos effortless. Once you feel the comfortable, ergonomic contours of the SG body, you'll understand why it has remained a favorite of musicians for decades.

VOS Finish and Gold Hardware for Vintage Vibe

Gibson Custom Shop finished this guitar in nitrocellulose lacquer and gently aged it using their proprietary VOS process. The result is a finish that looks and feels like an original 1961 SG Custom that has been lovingly played for years. Aged gold hardware, including the ABR-1 bridge, Grover tuners and pickup covers, completes the vintage-accurate aesthetics. The Sideways Vibrola vibrato tailpiece provides subtle pitch modulation to enhance the shimmer of the aged finish and hardware.

Custombucker Pickups for Definitive SG Tone

This 60th Anniversary SG is loaded with a trio of Custombucker humbucking pickups. The neck and middle pickups produce warm, rounded tones perfect for complex chords and rhythm parts. The bridge pickup delivers a hot, articulate sound ideal for solos and rock riffs. With the three-way selector, you can combine pickups for additional tonal variety. CTS 500K potentiometers and hand-wired electronics preserve the fidelity of the Custombuckers' output. The result is a quintessential SG tone that defined the sound of rock and roll.

Experience the history and tone that has kept musicians plugging into the Gibson SG for 60 years. With its solid mahogany body, vintage-accurate VOS finish and rock-ready Custombucker pickups, the Gibson Custom 60th Anniversary 1961 SG Les Paul Custom VOS electric guitar authentically recreates a legend.
