GIBSON 1961 Les Paul SG Standard Reissue Stop Bar Cherry Red #010492
'61 SG Reissue electric guitar with custom Bucker pickups, including custom store hardshell case and certificate
With original shaping and historically accurate appointments, the Gibson 1961 Les Paul SG Standard Reissue Stop Bar Cherry Red recreates the iconic classic of 1961. Originally introduced as a brand new and nimble Les Paul design, the SG quite soon evolved into one of the immortal guitar designs in the hands of talented musicians like Tony Iommi, Eric Clapton and Angus Young. The construction of the Gibson 1961 Les Paul SG Standard Reissue Stop Bar Cherry Red relies on classic ingredients with a mahogany body and set mahogany neck in the traditional slim taper C profile, while two Gibson Custom buckers deliver the SG's matching powerful dual-coil tones. Of course, a faithful ABR-1/stopbar combination and six Kluson tuners with authentic single ring pianos are also on board this SG.
With two Gibson Custom Bucker pickups and classic dimensions, the Gibson 1961 Les Paul SG Standard Reissue Stop Bar Cherry Red is a successful replica of the legendary classic.
The classic slim neck base of the SG ensures easy playability of the high fingerboard positions.
One piece mahogany body & slim taper neck.
For the body construction of the Gibson 1961 Les Paul SG Standard Reissue Stop Bar Cherry Red the Gibson Custom Shop relies on a single solid piece of mahogany with authentic doublecut SG shaping and easy access to the highest fingerboard positions. The slim neck heel of the mahogany neck also ensures this, while the slim sixties Slim Taper profile provides the best conditions for both classic rhythm riffs and advanced lead techniques. For historically accurate manufacturing processes, the Custom store uses hot bellows glue at key gluing points such as the neck/body junction or the gluing of the rosewood fingerboard to create a smooth and resonant bond.
Classic SG sounds of blues and rock are no problem for the two Gibson Custom Bucker.
Gibson Custom Bucker pickups with Alnico III magnets.
On the tonal side, the full sonic picture of two Gibson Custom Buckers is available in neck and bridge positions. The two Custom shop-wound dual pickups rely on the characterful tones of Alnico III magnets to produce everything from articulate cleans to steamy gain tones that a guitarist's heart desires. Both pickups are unwaxed and matched to each other, which means that even the intermediate position of the 3-way switch skillfully combines the best qualities of both pickups. For precise tonal control the Gibson Custom Shop high quality CTS potentiometer, while the Treble roll-off of the tone pots takes place via genuine Black Beauty capacitors.
