Gibson USA SG Standard '61 Maestro Vibrola T-Type (with '68 appointments) Ebony with Gold Hardware w/case

Gibson SG ’61 – Ebony w/ Gold Hardware & ’68 Appointments

This SG takes the classic ’61 platform and blends it with standout late-’60s styling cues, creating a vintage-leaning rock machine with a cleaner, more dressed-up aesthetic. Finished in Ebony with full gold hardware, it also brings in ’68-style cosmetic elements while keeping the unmistakable feel of the early ’60s SG design.

A rosewood fingerboard, ’61-style slim neck profile, and Kluson-style tuners maintain the familiar ergonomics and response players expect from this era of SG. The Maestro Vibrola adds the expressive shimmer associated with countless late-’60s recordings, and the guitar is loaded with Gibson T-Type humbuckers—bright, articulate, and perfectly voiced for everything from classic rock to modern indie textures.

If you love the look of late-’60s Gibsons but want the liveliness and feel of a ’61 SG, this build threads the needle beautifully.
