Description

The Gibson SG Standard '61 Faded Electric Guitar is a nod to the era when rock 'n' roll was revolutionizing the music world. This classic instrument embodies the spirit of the early 1960s with its double-cutaway mahogany body, ensuring both a lightweight feel and resonant sound. The deep beveling adds not only to the guitar's iconic aesthetic but also enhances playability, making it a favorite for those who love fast, expressive play.

At the heart of its sound are the '60s Burstbucker humbuckers, which deliver that unmistakable vintage bite and clarity. These pickups are complemented by hand-wired controls with Orange Drop capacitors, offering a dynamic range of tonal possibilities. Whether you're dialing in a smooth low-end or pushing your amp into overdrive, this guitar responds with precision and warmth.

The SlimTaper mahogany neck is designed for speed and comfort, paired with a bound rosewood fingerboard that features 22 medium jumbo frets and elegant acrylic trapezoid inlays. The 12" radius provides a perfect balance for both chordal comfort and lead work. Finished in a faded nitrocellulose lacquer, the guitar exudes a well-loved, worn-in vibe without losing its structural integrity.

With its vintage hardware, including an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and Vintage Deluxe tuners, the Gibson SG Standard '61 Faded is more than just a tribute to the past; it's a fully realized instrument ready for the modern stage.
