The Gibson SG '61 Reissue

inlays. Relive some of the greatest moments of rock 'n' roll with a
one-piece bound mahogany neck, Tune-O-Matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece,
and chrome hardware. Includes Gibson hardshell case.

'60s Slim-Taper Neck Profile

The
'60s neck profile—found on the SG '61 Reissue—is the more modern,
slim-tapered neck most commonly associated with the Les Paul and SG
models of the early 1960s. The neck is machined in Gibson's rough mill
using wood shapers to make the initial cuts. But once the fingerboard
gets glued on, the rest—including the final sanding—is done by hand.
That means there are no two necks with the exact same dimensions. So
while it still has the basic characteristics of its respective profile,
each neck will be slightly different, with a distinct but traditional
feel.

A Little SG History

In
1961, the Les Paul was redesigned with a thinner body and 2 sharp
cutaway horns making the upper frets more accessible while lowering
production costs. The new guitar was popular, but Les Paul the
guitarist did not like it and asked to have his name removed. Gibson
renamed the model the "SG" which was short for "solid guitar". Though
Les Paul's name was officially removed from the model in 1961, the
plastic Les Paul nameplates (positioned between the rhythm pickup and
fingerboard) were in abundance in the Gibson factory and SG models
having these nameplates were built and sold by Gibson up to end of
1963. SGs have been the choice of world-class artists such as Pete
Townshend, Eric Clapton, Tony Iommi, and Angus Young.
