SG guitar in the style of the early sixties
The Gibson SG Standard '61 Vintage White takes up the design and feel of the original '61 guitar and proves to be a first-class blues and rock guitar. In addition to the mahogany body in the official double-horned contour cut, Gibson relies on a narrow "Slim Taper" mahogany neck for excellent playing characteristics right up to the highest registers. Gibson '60s burst bucker with hand-wired circuitry conjures up the spirit of the legendary PAFs, so that powerful clean and drive sounds are available at the guitar amplifier. Last but not least, Gibson equips the SG Standard '61 VintageWhite with the tried and tested Hardware in the form of an aluminum stopbar, ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and VintageDeluxe tuners.
The Gibson SG Standard '61 Vintage White comes in authentic sixties styling and delivers first-class blues and rock sounds with '60s burstbucker pickups.
The slim "Slim Taper" mahogany neck is glued to the mahogany body of the SG Standard '61.
All-mahogany guitar in set-neck construction
When building the SG Standard '61, Gibson naturally resorts to the official set-neck construction with neck and body made of mahogany, which in combination with the thin Nitro-Finish creates the basis for a powerful and sustain-rich sound. While the official doublecut design promises comfortable handling of the guitar both sitting and standing, the slim taper neck profile guarantees agile playing characteristics in all positions of the 22-fret rosewood fingerboard.
Gibson '60s burstbucker pickups and a hand-wired circuit with Orange Drop capacitors deliver authentic vintage tones.
'60s Burstbucker
Two Gibson Burstbuckers are responsible for the electric sound conversion of the SG Standard '61 VintageWhite guitar. By using classic Alnico V magnets and non-waxed, unevenly wound coils, the pickups are clearly inspired by the legendary PAF humbuckers of the golden era and elicit not only creamy overdrive sounds for Blues and rock, but also airy cleans for sensitive chord and melody playing. A hand-wired circuit with high-quality Orange Drop capacitors and separate volume and tone pots for each pickup also allows the sound to be precisely adjusted.
Six Gibson Vintage Deluxe Keystone tuners promise high tuning stability.
Tradition-conscious hardware equipment
It goes without saying that Gibson completes the SG Standard '61 VintageWhite electric guitar with reliable hardware in traditional vintage style. A stopbar tailpiece made of lightweight aluminium guides the strings over the proven ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, which was developed by the legendary Gibson President Ted McCarty and provides generous adjustment options for precise intonation and comfortable string action. In addition, Gibson VintageDeluxe tuners on the "Open Book" headstock keep the electric guitar securely and stably in tune.
Top marks for this guitar quality built, a joy to play and sounds awesome. Purchasing from DV 247 Music Store on their website was strait forward and secure the guitar was delivered in just a few days. Very pleased with the service, thank you. David H.

The guitar is production model, build quality is great, minor issues, nothing that cannot be fixed by a professional setup. Many blame this vibrola system for tuning instability, I didn’t experience anything annoying or different than with other tremolos systems. Decent clean tones but the crunch sound of this guitar is to die for!

Extremely pleased with this instrument. I have owned a les Paul an es 335 but never really got on with either. The SG is beautiful, nicely balanced, good range of tones an an excellent neck profile. This is definitely a keeper. Delivery time was a little bit longer than if it was shipped in the UK but the price It was retailed at was an absolute bargain.
