Here for sale we have a Gibson SG Standard '61 Reissue Electric Guitar in Heritage Cherry finish. Made in the USA in 1995, this set-neck constructed guitar consists of a Mahogany body, a Mahogany neck, a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include Nickel hardware, Schaller "Gibson Deluxe" tuning machines, an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, and a set of Gibson '57 Classic Humbucking pickups. These pickups are wired to two volume controls, two tone controls, and three-way pickup selector.
The Honduran Mahogany neck plays fantastically, with the 1961 Slim Taper "D" profile feeling nicely slender in the hand and offering a smooth and responsive playing experience across the register. There is no question that the top frets are much more easily accessible than on a Les Paul, with the slim neck heel and double-cutaway design opening up the full register of the instrument. Traditional 12" fingerboard radius is paired with medium jumbo frets to provide a playing surface which is comfortable and practical for a wide range of styles and techniques.
The pair of Gibson 57 Classic humbuckers installed in this guitar are well regarded by Gibson players for their versatility. Whilst the hard rock tones you would expect from an SG are clearly present, the pickups also offer a nice smooth and rounded tone that is suitable for a wide range of styles. Country and Blues players will like the bite of bridge pickup, whilst the warmth of the neck position can be appropriate for jazzy sounds, especially when rolling down the tone control. Independent volume and tone pots offer comprehensive control of your sound.
Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.
