General

The Original Collection SG Standard '61 is based on Gibson's legendary, double-cut follow-up to the original 1961 Les Paul. Here, the mahogany neck has been set-in and bound into the body, laying down maximum resonance and a classic and warm foundation sound to support the mounted pair of Burstbucker double-coil pickups. This combo not only delivers timeless old-school rock sound, but the tone that helped lay the groundwork for metal as we know it. This irresistible edition of the myth-making Gibson SG comes complete with a form-fitting case.

The SG Standard '61: Armed With Burstbuckers

Once familiar with the tonal range of this refined monster, you're likely to rely on the lush and thick output provided by the humbucker at the bridge for much of the heavy lifting, and reserve the generous, thick layer of cream of the neck pickup for leads and licks. Both Burstbuckers have a touch more bite than comparable modern PAF-based humbuckers, and via the three-way pickup switch, they can be isolated or combined to unleash the formidable beef this model is so renowned for. However it's dialled in, the tone is fully reinforced by entirely hand wired electronics - all the way from the switch, to the four pots, and the Orange Drop capacitors.

A SlimTaper Neck, ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic Bridge & Aluminum Stop Bar

Harking back to the tried-and-tested feel of a classic sixties Gibson, the SG Standard '61 has been given a flatter SlimTaper neck profile as well as a 12 inch radius and a 22-fret rosewood fretboard. The larger medium jumbo frets ease the load on the fret-hand and combine with the extra reach afforded by the double-cut body for a superbly comfy playing feel. Stable tuning and intonation is assured by a set of Deluxe Keystone tuners, an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, Stop Bar tailpiece, and a GraphTech nut, finishing a classic and untouched treat of a guitar.

Gibson Original Collection SG Standard '61 Red Burst Electric Guitar with Case

Wrote the following about Gibson Original Collection SG Standard '61 Red Burst Electric Guitar with Case
door een polsprobleem was ik op zoek naar een (liefst) Gibson met een wat lager gewicht en een wat dunnere hals zonder dat hij echt smal voelt. kwam uit op de SG '61, rondgekeken o.a. op MP dus kende een beetje de prijzen. toen kwam ik er 1 tegen bij Bax, volgens de site een gebruikte gitaar uit '23, de prijs......echt een weekend deal!! nergens goedkoper gezien!! besteld en hij werd zaterdag al geleverd (vrijdagavond rond 11 uur besteld), super!! de gitaar bekeken en gevoeld en helemaal wat ik zocht, voelde goed, niet helemaal goed afgesteld maar dat kan ik zelf dus ff een uurtje daar aan besteed en nu....echt perfect, kan niet anders zeggen!! de gitaar gevonden waarvan ik in 1e instantie dacht die hou ik een half jaartje en als mijn pols weer ok is kan ik hem wel weer goed doorverkopen (prijzen op MP zijn hoger) maar dat gaat niet gebeuren, is echt een blijvertje.
Bax bedankt voor de snelle verzending en hele goede prijs!!

Excellente guitare à un prix moins élevé qu'ailleurs. Merci à Bax ! Guitare magnifique. La couleur change un peu du rouge ou du noir; c'est un mélange des deux :).Le manche est plus fin et plus agréable à jouerque sur une SG standard. Les micros sont excellents sur les 3 positions. Une étoile en moins parce que sillet mal ébarbé à dû recevoir un petit coup de lime. Sinon tout est bon.
