Description

Played at Woodstock by no lesser rock legends that Carlos Santana, Pete Townsend, and Jerry Garcia, the SG became an icon in the guitar pantheon. This axe helped to define many genres of rock and blues for generations of musicians.

Mahogany Body and SlimTaper Neck Mean Playability

Sculpted from solid mahogany, the double cutaways and deep body bevels combine with the SlimTaper neck sporing a 22-fret bound rosewood fretboard to provide effortless upper fret access and making the SG a delight to play,

'60s Sound Burstbucker Pickups

To capture the tone of the early SGs, the 61R and 61T humbuckers produce clear, smooth mids and tight low-end growl. Orange Drop capacitors and audio taper pots stay consistent at any volume. Go from vintage warmth to modern crunch without missing a beat.

Stage-Ready Premium Hardware

The Tune-o-matic bridge and aluminum stopbar tailpiece means rock-solid intonation and sustain. The Keystone tuners hold the tuning as you rip through monster bends and lightning-fast changes. You'll appreciate the vintage shine of the nickel-plated hardware under the bright stage lights.

Classic Gloss Nitro Finish

The SG Standard '61 sports a beautiful gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish which is significantly thinner than modern polyurethane finishes. Enjoy the look and feel of a vintage classic.
