Gibson fans know 1961 is something of an interesting year for the Les Paul to say the least. Gibson produced a guitar with no maple cap, a considerably thinner body and an additional cutaway. The guitar would later go on to become known as the SG or "solid guitar." Over the years the SG became synonymous with Rock and Roll and was employed by the likes of Carlos Santana, Angus Young and Tony Iommi, just to name a few.
2021 marks the 60th anniversary of the SG and we wanted to spec a guitar that was truly unique to mark the occasion. The Gibson Custom Shop delivered! At the time it was ordered there had never been another one like it built in the Made 2 Measure program. We ordered two and one has already found a home.
The body is hand sanded Mahogany. No CNC machines were used in the production of this instrument. The guitar is finished in 60’s Cherry with aniline dye, which gives it a look straight out of '61. The guitar comes loaded with 3 unpotted Gibson Custombuckers and has nice throaty midrange and plenty of sizzle - as you'd expect from a Gibson.
You may be noticing the lack of the sideways vibrola as was common on '61 Les Pauls. There were a number of guitars in '61 that came with a stop bar tailpiece and we wanted to pay homage to that. To our knowledge this is the only 60th Anniversary '61 Les Paul Custom Model with the stop bar tailpiece!
This absolute stunner comes with a Gibson hardshell case, COA, hangtags, and warranty info. It has undergone a full inspection and setup from our in house luthier, so it'll come out of the box ready to rock!
As always, this guitar ships fully insured with signature required.
