Gibson 60th Anniversary 1961 SG Les Paul Sideways Vibrola - Floor Model Demo

A Custom Classic

Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity and attention to detail.

The last year of the "Les Paul™" moniker on the SG™ Custom was also the first year of the Maestro™ Vibrola...1963. Gibson Custom Shop has proudly recreated this desirable version of the SG Custom down to the original construction methods and contours. The result is a beautiful, versatile and tremendous-sounding instrument that plays effortlessly. The solid ebony fingerboard and revamped vintage-style electronics help it attain new sonic heights with clarity and sustain. From the dimensions to the contours to the precise inlay patterns to the sonic experience, it's the top of the line SG in every respect!

This floor model demo includes a full factory warranty.  The Nitro finish on this SG soaked in some of the hanger it was displayed on and left a reddish stain on the two contact points of the headstock.  This guitar is otherwise in Excellent Condition.
