Gibson 2019 '61 SG Standard Electric Guitar (with Case)
Gibson tips its hat to the first production year of the SG with this beautiful model. A pair of Burstbucker 61 pickups produces that classic crunch you love.

I've been playing 47 years and have owned dozens of Gibsons, including 7 SG's, over the years. This one blows away the others! Not a single flaw of any kind to be found anywhere. Beautiful, flawless finish. Super-FAST neck and the best pickups Gibson has made in decades. Straight out of the case it was awesome --- But then I let my tech do his voodoo on the action. I can't adequately describe the action now. The neck was already fast, but now it has the lowest, fastest action of any guitar I have EVER held!! The level of craftsmanship and quality of materials used to make this guitar are beyond impressive. This is my 3rd 2019 Gibson (so far!), and let me tell you, they are back in a BIG way!!This is an awesome guitar at any price, but for under $2K , this is an incredible deal. I like it so much I may sell a LP and buy another one!!!Way to bounce back, Gibson!!!!

This guitar will NOT disappoint. An SG Standard has always been a dream guitar for me so I figured I’d get this sick reissue and it’s already my favorite guitar. The sound is incredible. Gave me goosebumps on the first E chord. Buy it!

"Better Than Ever"

My first SG was a 1968 model if I remember correctly. It had a lyre style vibrato that I never used and had the large pickguard. I played it through my college years in W. PA. It was my first Gibson and was I proud to have it. Three piece bands were popular then and we carried our gear in a red and white VW bus.I bought the 1961SG in 2018 and although I do not perform anymore, I can still crank out all of the tunes we played back in the day. This one plays better, has a better finish and the '61 humbuckers do not disappoint....I turn up my tweed 4X10 up to 5 or 6 (or so) and it inspires me to play Jumpin' Jack Flash better than "back in the day". No "shredder" has anything on me!
