Gibson SG ‘61 Reissue Satin Black 2012 Electric Guitar

Here for sale we have a Gibson SG ‘61 Reissue Satin Black finish. Made in the USA in 2012, this guitar features a set-neck construction and comprises a Honduran Mahogany body, Honduran Mahogany neck and 22 fret Baked Maple fingerboard. Chrome hardware is fitted including a Nashville T-O-M bridge and Stopbar tailpiece and TonePros "Kluson Deluxe" tuning machines. A pair of Gibson 57' Classic humbucking pickups are installed, these are wired to a 3-way toggle switch and independent volume and tone controls. The Mahogany neck plays fantastically, with the 1961 Slim Taper "D" profile feeling nicely slender in the hand and offering a smooth and responsive playing experience across the register. There is no question that the top frets are much more easily accessible than on a Les Paul, with the slim neck heel and double-cutaway design opening up the full register of the instrument. Traditional 12" fingerboard radius is paired with medium jumbo frets to provide a playing surface which is comfortable and practical for a wide range of styles and techniques. The pair of Gibson 57 Classic humbuckers installed in this guitar are well regarded by Gibson players for their versatility. Whilst the hard rock tones you would expect from an SG are clearly present, the pickups also offer a nice smooth and rounded tone that is suitable for a wide range of styles. Country and Blues players will like the bite of bridge pickup, whilst the warmth of the neck position can be appropriate for jazzy sounds, especially when rolling down the tone control. Independent volume and tone pots offer comprehensive control of your sound.
