The Gibson 1961 Les Paul SG Standard Reissue: Vintage Vibe with Modern Precision

Historic SG Reissue Electric Guitar

The 1961 Les Paul SG Standard Reissue from Gibson authentically resurrects one of the most iconic models in electric guitar history. Crafted in stunning Cherry Red, this modern classic retains all the fast, ferocious vibe of the original 1961 Les Paul-branded SG while benefiting from today?s most meticulous reissue craftsmanship. From the solid mahogany body to the sharp, deeply sculpted double cutaways and slim taper neck profile, every curve is a callback to the golden era of Gibson innovation.

Premium Vintage Tone and Feel

This SG is built for players who crave period-correct tone and feel. With two Custombucker Alnico III humbuckers under the hood, it delivers the unmistakable warmth and bite that made early '60s Gibsons legendary. The ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and lightweight aluminum stop bar tailpiece round out the package, allowing for superb sustain and solid tuning stability. Roll back the volume and you?ll find a palette of articulate clean tones, crank it and unleash classic rock and blues fury.

Meticulous Historic Construction

Every detail of this guitar has been poured over to match the original models from 1961, including hide glue construction, vintage-correct plastics and a nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The SlimTaper neck profile and bound rosewood fretboard with 22 authentic medium-jumbo frets provide a familiar yet refined playing experience, whether you're delivering crisp chords or soaring leads. Even the holly headstock veneer and aged trapezoid inlays echo the precision of the past.

Made for Stage and Studio

While this guitar oozes vintage character, it?s built to perform in any modern setting. The hand-wired electronics with Orange Drop capacitors deliver tonal clarity and dynamic responsiveness. Whether you?re recording clean textures or pushing your amp into singing sustain, this SG maintains a strong voice in the mix. It?s a workhorse that?s also a showpiece, and it comes ready for the demands of serious players.

A Complete Experience

This 1961 SG Standard Reissue includes a hard shell case to protect your investment, along with essential case candy like the Certificate of Authenticity, Gibson product literature, and case keys. It?s a faithful reimagining of a legendary instrument, ready to inspire from the moment you open the case.
