The Gibson SG '61 Reissue Electric Guitar is so light, comfortable, and playable you won't want to put it down. Features a slim-tapered neck, sculpted, double-cutaway, mahogany body, exclusive Gibson '57 classic humbucking pickups at the neck and bridge, and 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with trapezoid inlays. Relive some of the greatest moments of rock 'n' roll with a one-piece bound neck, Tune-O-Matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece, and chrome hardware. Includes Gibson hardshell case.'60s Slim-Taper Neck ProfileThe '60s neck profile—found on the SG '61 Reissue—is the more modern, slim-tapered neck most commonly associated with the Les Paul and SG models of the early 1960s. The neck is machined in Gibson's rough mill using wood shapers to make the initial cuts. But once the fingerboard gets glued on, the rest—including the final sanding—is done by hand. That means there are no two necks with the exact same dimensions. So while it still has the basic characteristics of its respective profile, each neck will be slightly different, with a distinct but traditional feel.'57 Classic PickupsAmong the qualities that make Gibson's original "Patent Applied For" humbucking pickups so unique are the subtle variations between coil windings. For the first few years of their production—1955 to 1961—Gibson's PAF humbuckers were wound using imprecise machines, resulting in pickups with slightly different output and tone, desirable to players who wanted to mix and match and explore a complete spectrum of tonal possibilities. The '57 Classic pickups are the result of Gibson's drive to capture and recreate this renowned characteristic. Introduced in 1992, the '57 Classic provides warm, full tone with a balanced response, packing that classic Gibson PAF humbucker crunch. These are made by Gibson to the exact same specs as the original PAFs, including Alnico II magnets, nickel-plated pole pieces, nickel slugs, maple spacers, and vintage-style, two-conductor braided wiring. Instead of enamel-coated wiring, Gibson added poly-coated wiring—which improves consistency by eliminating thin or thick spots on the wire—and wax potting, which removes all internal air space and any chance of microphonic feedback.Key FeaturesMahogany body and neck both one pieceRosewood fretboardNItrocellulose finishGibson Classic '57 humbucker at the neck and 57 plus in the bridgeTune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece ABR-1Corian nut1.695" nut width ±.050"22 frets24-3/4" scaleGrover Kluson-style green tuning keysChrome-plated hardware2 volume, 2 tone control, 3-way pickup switchBlack top hat knobs with silver insertsMother-of-pearl Gibson logo and holly headstock inlayFigured acrylic trapezoid fingerboard inlaysAntique cream fingerboard bindingTHIS IS A USA LOWER 48 STATES ONLY AUCTION...PAYMENT DUE 48 HOURS AT AUCTIONS END.THIS IS A RARE GIBSON SG 61 FROM 2016...VERY LIMITED!
