Gibson SG Standard '61 Faded Vintage Cherry Satin

Overview

The Gibson SG Standard '61 Faded Vintage Cherry Satin captures the essence of the early 1960s SG design with a worn-in feel and a straightforward, player-focused build. Its solid mahogany body and double-cutaway shape provide excellent upper fret access and a resonant, mid-forward tone that responds well across a range of playing styles.

Finished in a faded nitrocellulose lacquer, this model has a broken-in look and feel right out of the case. The SlimTaper mahogany neck and bound rosewood fingerboard offer a fast, comfortable playing experience, while a set of 60s Burstbucker pickups delivers open, articulate tones with clarity and dynamic response.
