Description

The Gibson SG Standard 61 Faded in Faded Vintage Cherry Satin captures the spirit of the early 1960s SG design while offering a broken-in look and feel straight out of the case. Its lightweight solid body and iconic double-cutaway silhouette deliver the unmistakable style that has defined the SG for decades. The faded nitrocellulose lacquer finish gives the instrument a warm aged appearance while allowing the wood to resonate freely contributing to the lively response that players expect from this classic model. A SlimTaper mahogany neck and bound rosewood fingerboard provide smooth fast playability across 22 medium jumbo frets. At the core of the SG Standard 61 Faded is a pair of 60s Burstbucker humbuckers designed with historically accurate unbalanced coils and Alnico V magnets to deliver open harmonically rich tones. Combined with vintage-inspired hardware and hand-wired electronics the SG Standard 61 Faded offers the classic SG sound and feel that has inspired generations of guitarists.

Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain.

SG

The Gibson SG (Solid Guitar) is a rock icon with attitude. Introduced in the early 1960s, it took the Les Paul’s power and gave it a sharper, lighter, double-cut design for faster access to higher frets. Its twin humbuckers deliver raw, biting tone and endless sustain — perfect for everything from blues to heavy rock. Played by legends like Angus Young and Tony Iommi, the SG proves that simplicity, style, and sheer power never go out of fashion.
