£2,895.00 Regular price

2017 Custom Shop Historic SG Standard VOS in Faded Cherry. Sold by us new. Super light and resonant '61 style Les Paul SG from the Custom Shop with all the historic spec including 60's Neck profile, VOS nitro finish and hardware. Great sounding SG with a lovely bound rosewood fingerboard with Trapoziod Inlays. In excellent condition, just a few very light signs of use and the finish has faded slightly around the bottom edge/horn. This one has the preferred stoptail bridge too, so none of the tuning issues you get with the Vibrato versions.. Super Light at 6lb 1oz. Very cool and sounds absolutely awesome!!

The introduction of the remodeled Les Paul models of the early 1960s sought to bolster Gibson’s reputation as a quality builder of electric solid body guitars, something the Les Pauls of the late 1950s had failed to do. And although those Les Paul models of the late 1950s would eventually become the world’s most iconic six-stringed instruments, the introduction of the redesigned models in 1961 would also signal an important new era in electric solid body design. Characterized by a much thinner body with two cutaways, pointed horns, beveled edges and no body binding, the new Les Paul failed to achieve the full approval of Les Paul himself, which lead to the removal of Les Paul’s name in 1963 in favor of its new name, the SG. A painstaking recreation of the original, the SG Standard Reissue takes you 50 years back in time to a rare and powerful slice of rock history.

The SG Standard Reissue stays true to the specs of this iconic instrument. Its distinct features and legendary tone are meticulously remade with all the precision and accuracy expected from Gibson Custom, including its solid mahogany body with twin cutaways, pointed horns, beveled edges and nickel-plated hardware, including lightweight aluminum stopbar tailpiece. Other standard appointments include its cellulose trapezoid fingerboard inlays, single-ply binding along the fingerboard and a slim- neck profile.
