For sale: Killer 2019 Gibson SG Standard ‘61 in Vintage Cherry (the faithful reissue of the classic 1961 small-pickguard SG). This is a USA-made production model from Gibson’s great post-2019 era—plays and sounds fantastic.
Key specs and highlights:
• 1-piece solid mahogany body – lightweight, resonant, and that classic SG bark (no center seam!)
• Gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish – ages beautifully and breathes like the originals
• SlimTaper mahogany neck with bound rosewood board, trapezoid inlays – fast, comfortable, and true to ’61 specs
• Burstbucker ’61 pickups (neck and bridge) – warm, dynamic PAF-style tone with great clarity and bite
• ABR-1 bridge with stopbar tailpiece, nickel hardware
• Upgraded with Dunlop strap locks for peace of mind on stage
• Includes original Gibson hardshell case (plush-lined, perfect fit)
This one’s in excellent shape—minimal play wear, no major dings, scratches, or issues. Neck is straight, action is spot-on, frets are great, electronics quiet and responsive. Sounds amazing plugged in: punchy mids, singing leads, and that iconic SG sustain.
Perfect for rock, blues, indie, or anyone chasing that Angus Young / early Cream vibe without the vintage price tag.
Local pickup preferred in Atlanta area (cash or PayPal Goods & Services).
