General
The Original Collection SG Standard '61 is based on Gibson's legendary, double-cut follow-up to the original 1961 Les Paul. Here, the mahogany neck has been set-in and bound into the body, laying down maximum resonance and a classic and warm foundation sound to support the mounted pair of Burstbucker double-coil pickups. This combo not only delivers timeless old-school rock sound, but the tone that helped lay the groundwork for metal as we know it. This irresistible edition of the myth-making Gibson SG comes complete with a form-fitting hardcase and a fistful of tasty accessories.
The SG Standard '61: Armed With Burstbuckers
Once familiar with the tonal range of this refined monster, you're likely to rely on the lush and thick output provided by the humbucker at the bridge for much of the heavy lifting, and reserve the generous, thick layer of cream offered by the BurstBucker at the neck for leads and licks. Both Burstbuckers have a touch more bite than comparable modern PAF-based humbuckers, and via the three-way pickup switch, they can be isolated or combined to unleash the formidable beef this model is so renowned for. However it's dialled in, the tone is fully reinforced by entirely hand wired electronics - all the way from the switch, to the four pots, and the Orange Drop capacitors.
A SlimTaper Neck, ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic Bridge & Sideways Vibrola Tailpiece
Harking back to the tried-and-tested feel of a classic sixties Gibson, the SG Standard '61 has been given a flatter SlimTaper neck profile as well as a 12 inch radius, 22-fret rosewood fretboard. The larger medium jumbo frets ease the load on the fret-hand and combine with the extra reach afforded by the double-cut body for a superbly comfy playing feel. Stable tuning and intonation is assured by a set of Deluxe Keystone tuners, an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, and a GraphTech nut, but the chocolate sprinkles on top of this treat of a guitar definitely lie in the stunning Sideways Vibrola tailpiece.
