This is seriously my favorite guitar I have ever owned - I have not been able to put it down since it came in a few days ago. If you are hesitant just do it - you will not regret it. The baby pic that comes w/the guitar seals the deal.

Guitar looks , feels and plays great . No flaws. Was set up perfect . I like this colour better than the black or red they usually come in .

I own many guitars. This one is outstanding. I’m sure Gibby changed one little bit of red dye in the color mix, however, if you’ve been looking for an oxblood guitar and don’t want to pay Custom Shop prices, it’s a good choice. More importantly, excellent axe and the 61r and t humbuckers are perfect for this guitar. Accurate repro of the 60’s SG super fast/wide neck

After playing a 2019 SG Tribute for a bit, I decided I really like the SG format. When I saw the 18-mo PaYP promotion for Gibson, as well as the Aged Cherry finish, I put SG Tribute up for sale and pulled the trigger. If ot for the Aged Cherry finish and gold hardware I would have passed or gone for a LP Std.This guitar is absolutely gorgeous! I did lower the action to my liking and this thing plays and sounds like a dream. My complaints on the SG Tribute were: Maple neck, no p'up covers, no binding, red color, dots instead of traps and the bright sound of the 490's. The SG Std. '61 addresses all my dislikes, including a slightly darker tone. Not dark, but slightly darker than the 490s, imho.If you are thinking about this guitar, pull the trigger before promotion ends. As I understand, there is no drop dead date when it will end, so act now!

You guys, this guitar rips! Seriously though. I have always loved SGs and how light they are and just the whole vibe. I ordered this one from zZounds and used their payment plan and had this bad boy on my front porch in 2 days! Mine is 6.4 lbs and the gold hardware looks awesome as well. These 61r and T pups have a nice little bite to them. And the nut was cut very well! No string binding issues on the G and D. I gigged it 2 times now. I can literally do 1 and a half step bends on the G and still play an open chord and it's money. Nothing worse than tryna rip a solo, going back to playing rhythm and......Uh Oh! All of a sudden your singer is looking at you like he wants to slap the fire outta ya! Then the drummer will be like, "who brought the out of tune guy"? Tbh, it's all bad. So yeah, great guitar, and now you can rock one that isn't The normal cherry color. Oh and lastly, this finish almost looks like Ebony, but when the light hits it, it's a very nice dark Cherry. Anyway, yeah this is a keeper.

Beautiful SG. Closer to oxblood then cherry. Absolutely stunning. Plays like a dream.

I haven't played an SG this good since the early '80s. I'm very happy with this outstanding instrument. The quality is top notch, the playability is as good as a $4,000 guitar and it's tonally superior to all other SGs on the market. I'm glad I bought it and would happily buy another if something happens to this one.

It's a beast. It's very beautiful with some of the best playability one could ask for and the '61pups sound awesome. Once again Gibson nailed it, and as usual zZounds came through with flying colors. AAA+++

Nice guitar and plays really good. Sounds good and is pretty too. I'm hanging on to this one.
