Gibson Custom 60th Anniversary 1961 SG Les Paul Custom VOS in Classic White

1961 was a landmark year for Gibson. The Les Paul got a radical makeover, introducing a sleek, double-cutaway, all-Mahogany body that would later become the legendary SG. This stunning Gibson Custom Shop recreation pays homage to those first Les Paul SG Customs, dripping with vintage vibe and premium appointments. From the elegant Custom-style cosmetics and gold hardware to the iconic Sideways Vibrola, this guitar oozes early-’60s cool while delivering the playability and tone that made these instruments timeless.

You’ll find an Authentic ’61 Thin Profile Mahogany neck for that fast and comfortable feel, Grover tuners for rock-solid stability, plus an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge for precise intonation. A trio of Custombucker pickups deliver that unmistakable PAF magic, wired up with CTS vintage-taper pots and Black Beauty capacitors for ultimate tonal control.

• Three Custombucker pickups: Capture the warm, articulate tone of vintage PAF humbuckers — perfect for everything from sweet cleans to roaring leads.
• ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge: Enjoy rock-solid tuning stability and spot-on intonation, so your riffs and chords always sound their best.
• Sideways Vibrola tailpiece: Add smooth, expressive vibrato to your playing — ideal for those subtle shimmers or dramatic dives.
