The aptly named Gibson SG Standard ’61, with its infamous “devil horns,” debuted in the early ’60s as the first double-cut electric guitar from the renowned purveyors of the Les Paul. Then headed by Ted McCarty, Gibson responded to the growing popularity of double-cut instruments by introducing the Solid Guitar (SG). A truly versatile classic, the reissued SG Standard ’61 embodies the looks and features associated with the guitar that temporarily halted LP production, including a SlimTaper neck, rosewood fingerboard and solid mahogany body. Gibson Burstbucker ’61 pickups lace the SG with vintage voicing, power and top-end clarity. The Gibson SG Standard ’61 honors a legacy of profound innovation—a future-proof double cut recalling the guitar’s everlasting prime.
