The ultimate reissue of Gibson's red devil: the SG! In beautiful cherry red color, with Custombuckers.

The Gibson SG is a legendary guitar, and the proof of this is the long list of great guitarists who use(s) this tough instrument. Think, for example, of Angus Young, Tony Iommi, George Harrison and Duane Allman. And more recently, of course, the living slide legend Derek Trucks. The SG was first introduced as the new Les Paul model, but the guitar quickly made a name for itself. And how could it be otherwise, because with its seemingly simple construction, the Gibson SG delivers a unique, distinctive and very usable sound. With this Custom Shop '61 SG Standard - in the historically correct Cherry Red color - Gibson shows that they really know how to recreate this legendary model and when you see and feel this guitar you really get the feeling that you are an old Gibson in your hands. Features such as the Nitrocellulose VOS (Vintage Patina) finish give this SG that historic look, the amazing Custombucker Alnico III pickups deliver the authentic PAF sound and the 1960 Slim Taper neck offers the same fast and comfortable playability as the original. And we haven't even talked about the looks yet! Check out that beautiful headstock, the beautiful inlays, the body contour that is exactly right, the pickguard... This reissue is just right!
