Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
This 2020 model SG is based on an instant classic has tons of vintage vibe without breaking the bank. Lovingly taken care of by its former owner, this thing is super clean, needed very minimal setup work by our in-house luthier, and is (as we love to say) ready for primetime!
SP Luthier Notes: Setup
From Gibson Guitars
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 slim taper 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 61R and 61T humbuckers for a classic voice with added power and top end. Controls feature audio taper potentiometers and orange drop capacitors.
