Gibson USA SG Standard '61 Stopbar - Vintage Cherry

Prepare for liftoff with the Gibson SG Standard ’61 Stop Bar, a celestial reboot of the guitar that redefined rock, rebellion, and raw energy.
When Gibson launched this radical new design back in 1961, it was like a sonic meteor hitting Earth — sleek, sharp, and built for speed. Today, that same interplanetary spirit lives on in the SG Standard ’61: the original solid guitar, reborn for the modern player.

This is not a relic of the past — it’s a rocket from the future wrapped in vintage mahogany.

The SG Standard ’61 features the unmistakable double-horned, double-cutaway body, sculpted from solid mahoganyfor maximum resonance and sustain. Its SlimTaper™ neck profile feels like warp speed under your fingers — fast, smooth, and infinitely playable.
The bound rosewood fretboard, fitted with 22 medium-jumbo frets and acrylic trapezoid inlays, offers a perfect balance of comfort and control from orbit to ozone.

The neck joins at the 22nd fret, giving you total access to the upper frets — no limits, no gravity, just pure freedom.

Two ’60s Burstbucker™ humbuckers deliver a wide galaxy of tone: from glassy cleans to supernova-level overdrive. Hand-wired Orange Drop® capacitors ensure that every note responds with vintage warmth and clarity.
A nickel-plated ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece anchor your sustain like a black hole locks in light, while Vintage Deluxe tuners and a Graph Tech® nut keep your tuning stable through every cosmic riff.

This is the tone that powered legends — and it still burns bright.
