Description

The Gibson USA SG Standard ‘61 in TV Yellow is such an iconic guitar that was originally presented to the world back in 1961. Gibson have now given us a classic design with all the vintage specs that made this electric guitar great. Sporting a TV Yellow colour that you might normally find on a Les Paul Junior, this SG gives you a unique feel and look.

Featuring all the orignal specs you would find a SG Standard ’61, the Mahogany construction and Burstbucker pickups project a bright tonal range giving you the ability to crank up the gain for sharp soloing, or clean chords utilising the hotter output and high-end treble.

The slim tapered neck offers you a comfortable playing profile that is a staple of Gibson guitars and sought after by many due its versatility in playability. The gloss finish on the neck provides a smooth feeling to be able to move easy up and down the neck with ease.

Key Features

  • Unique Styling – The TV Yellow finish really stands out as a renowned Gibson colour being presented on this SG to give you a unique model with classic specifications for a modern age.
  • Comfortable Slim Tapered Neck Profile – Easy to pick up and play, the slim tapered neck makes Gibson so sought after for its comfortable range that puts you closer to the fretboard perfect for a wide variety of playing styles.
  • Burstbucker Pickups – Projecting vibrant, sharp, and cleaner tones for you to crank up the gain without losing the high-end and giving you that famous Gibson sound.

About the manufacturer

Gibson

Gibson has long stood as a symbol of American craftsmanship and musical heritage, shaping the sound of rock, blues, and jazz for over a century. Founded in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1902, Gibson became legendary with instruments like the Les Paul, SG, and ES series, each known for their rich sustain, premium tonewoods, and iconic designs. The brand’s pioneering use of humbucker pickups and carved maple tops created the warm, powerful sound that defines countless classic recordings. Played by greats such as Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Angus Young, Gibson guitars continue to represent timeless quality, innovation, and a deep connection between player and instrument.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

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.
