Gibson Custom Colour Series SG Standard '61, Transparent Teal Overview
The Gibson Custom Colour Series SG Standard '61 in Transparent Teal is a stunning reinvention of a timeless classic, merging vintage charm with modern flair. This striking custom-color edition pays tribute to the legendary SG model that first emerged in 1961 when the Les Paul took a brief hiatus. With its sleek, lightweight design and unmistakable tonal versatility, this guitar has shaped the sound of countless musicians across multiple genres.
Faithful to its original roots, the SG Standard '61 features a solid mahogany body with deeply sculpted contours, ensuring maximum resonance and sustain. The bound rosewood fingerboard sits atop a SlimTaper mahogany neck, offering effortless playability and smooth navigation across the frets. A 22nd-fret neck joint provides unparalleled upper-fret access, making solos and lead work a breeze.
The sonic foundation of this SG comes from a pair of 60s Burstbucker humbuckers, delivering the rich, articulate voice of vintage PAF pickups but with enhanced power and top-end clarity. Whether you crave warm, bluesy cleans or aggressive, high-gain rock tones, these pickups respond with remarkable dynamic range. Precision-crafted audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors ensure smooth, responsive control over volume and tone, allowing you to shape your sound with precision.
Aesthetically, the Transparent Teal finish sets this SG apart, offering a bold, eye-catching look while still showcasing the natural beauty of the mahogany grain. Nickel-plated hardware, including a classic Tune-O-Matic bridge and Keystone tuners, adds a touch of vintage elegance while ensuring rock-solid tuning stability. To protect this masterpiece, a premium hardshell case is included, making it ready for the stage, studio, or road.
