Gibson SG Standard '61 Stopbar - Vintage Cherry - SG6100VCNH
The SG Standard 61 returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played and loved - shaping sound across generations and genres of music. In 1961, the Les Paul model was put on hiatus and an all new design evolved into what is today known as the SG or solid guitar. The Gibson SG Standard '61 retains the styling of the original featuring a slim taper mahogany neck and a bound rosewood fingerboard. The mahogany body features deeply sculpted body, a 5-ply teardrop pickguard and a 22nd-fret neck joint. The nickel plated hardware includes a classic-style Tune-O-Matic bridge and keystone tuners. The pickups are 61R and 61T humbuckers for a classic voice with added power and top end. Controls feature audio taper potentiometers and orange drop capacitors.

The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
One of the lightest solid-body electric guitars available - perfect for high-energy performances. Double-cutaway design providing unrestricted access to every single fret. All-mahogany construction delivering punchy, focused midrange that cuts through any band. The design that built classic rock and continues to define aggressive guitar tone.
Find that sweet spot where your tube amp just starts to break up, then let the SG's incredible natural sustain take over. That singing, vocal quality on sustained notes is what makes SGs absolutely legendary. A Tube Screamer in front takes it to another level.
The SG is pure rock and roll energy distilled into a guitar. Light enough to play all night with maximum energy, powerful enough to fill any room, and fast enough for your most ambitious solos. If your music has attitude, urgency, and unapologetic volume, the SG was literally engineered for you.
