60th Anniversary: 1961 Les Paul SG Custom and Standard

We are proud to introduce the latest from the Gibson Custom Shop: the 60th Anniversary 1961 Les Paul SG Standard and Custom. (Oh, and do you know what "SG" stands for? Let us know in the comments below!)

1961 brought some big changes to the Gibson Les Paul™; most notably a sleek, all-new, double-cutaway, all-mahogany body design that would later be renamed the SG™. The now iconic designs were considered bold for the time, but then Gibson president, Ted McCarty, felt the market demanded new and innovative designs.

These Gibson Custom Shop models replicate the first Les Paul SG Custom and Standard, complete with Custom-style cosmetics, Sideways Vibrola™, a side-pull action vibrato that is similar to those found on models from the early 1960s. It also has a bound Authentic ’61 Thin Profile mahogany neck, Grover® tuners, an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge, Custombucker pickups, CTS® vintage-taper pots, and Black Beauty capacitors.
