The Gibson SG Standard '61 Sideways Vibrola Vintage Cherry picks up the design and feeling of the original '61 electric guitar and proves to be a first-class electric guitar for Rock blues. Accordingly, a mahogany body with an authentic contour cut is used Gibson , while the glued mahogany neck has optimal playing characteristics thanks to its narrow " Slim Taper " profile. In addition, two Gibson Burstbucker 61 pickups evoke the legendary PAF feeling, so that powerful Rock and blues sounds are available at the guitar amplifier. Last but not least, it Gibson SG Standard '61 Vintage Cherry is equipped with the proven combination of ABR -1 Tune -O-Matic bridge and Sideways Vibrola for smooth vibratos.
Excellent guitar! I had some reservations over the trem system and whether it can hold tuning, but I’ve had no issues at all.
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.
