Product description
The year 1961 was particularly significant for the Gibson Les Paul. Namely, its familiar chunky, single-cutaway maple-topped body was replaced with a sleekly sculpted, all-mahogany double-cutaway body design that three years hence would become known as the SG. The Gibson Custom 60th Anniversary 1961 SG Les Paul Custom VOS celebrates this historic solidbody electric guitar with a masterful reissue, handcrafted by Gibson's Custom Shop luthiers with fastidious attention to prototypical detail, top-shelf tonewoods, and high-performance electronics. Featuring a fast '61 Thin-profile neck, a Plek'd-to-perfection ebony fretboard, a trio of vintage-voiced Custombucker pickups, a period-correct Sideways Vibrola tailpiece, and elegant aged gold hardware, the 60th Anniversary 1961 SG Les Paul Custom VOS gives you flawless modern playability, optimized vintage sonics, and the classic visuals of an iconic guitar that rocked the world.
