The SG’s lightweight mahogany body delivers great sustain and no pain, even if you play all night. And the worn nitro finish looks and feels great while enhancing the tone of this legendary rock machine.

Immortalized by the likes of Santana at Woodstock and Townshend onstage, the SG has earned its place in rock history. The 2019 SG Standard ’61 pays homage to the original design, featuring the small pickguard and vintage cherry finish that made the model famous.

Burstbucker pickups deliver timeless humbucker tone

When it comes to capturing that classic Gibson tone, nothing beats the sound of 60s Burstbucker pickups. You’ll love the tight low end, complex midrange, and sweet highs you’ll get out of these pickups — it’s everything you expect when you pick up a Gibson! That’s because 60s Burstbucker pickups were designed to re-create the sound of original 1960s-era humbuckers to perfection. So if you want the iconic tone of a classic Gibson SG, the SG Standard ’61 is the guitar for you.

SlimTaper neck carve and Plek’d frets for optimized playability

Sadek Music, the 2019 Gibson SG Standard ’61 is designed with comfort and playability as top priorities, ensuring an exceptional playing experience. One of the standout features of this model is its early-’60s SlimTaper neck profile, which provides a fast, comfortable fit that feels natural in your hand. Whether you're shredding solos or playing rhythm, this neck profile allows for effortless play, making it perfect for a wide range of musical styles.

Nitro finish for the look and feel of a classic

The SG Standard ’61 2019 wears a gorgeous gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Nitro finishes — standard back in the day — are significantly thinner than today’s polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to “breathe.” Nitro finishes not only look vintage-y wonderful, but they also enhance the instrument’s tonal qualities. This guitar has the look (and feel) of a lovingly cared-for classic — one that will only improve with age.

If you want to own a piece of rock history with an iconic Gibson SG Standard ’61, you can find it at Sadek Music. Whether you’re playing onstage or jamming in the studio, this guitar is built for those who want to capture the true spirit of rock ‘n’ roll.
