Tone Shop Guitars Exclusive Made to Measure ’61 SG Ultra Light Aged Silverburst w/Case

Weight: 6 lb 13 oz

Overview

Our Exclusive Made to Measure ’61 SG brings the lightning-fast feel and snarling voice of the original into a striking Ultra Light Aged Silverburst package by the Murphy Lab. Built with a solid mahogany body, long-tenon neck joint, and 60s SlimTaper™ profile, it’s lively, resonant, and effortlessly playable. Historic hide-glue construction and unpotted Custombuckers deliver the airy top, chewy midrange, and bite you expect from a golden-era SG—now with a modern, head-turning finish you won’t see everywhere.

Designed by Tone Shop Guitars in collaboration with Gibson Custom Shop, this M2M ’61 SG pairs collectible specs with real-world stage readiness.
