Gibson SG 61 Gold Hardware, Aged Cherry #223250302 Overview
The Gibson SG Standard '61 with Gold Hardware revisits one of Gibson's most important design evolutions, finished in Aged Cherry with premium appointments throughout. Introduced in 1961 as a lighter, more contoured successor to the Les Paul, the SG quickly became a favourite for its upper-fret access, aggressive midrange voice, and distinctive styling. This model stays faithful to the original formula, pairing classic construction with carefully chosen vintage-correct details.
A solid mahogany body with deeply sculpted bevels delivers the SG's familiar bite and resonance, while a set mahogany neck with a SlimTaper profile offers fast, comfortable playability. The bound rosewood fingerboard, 22 medium jumbo frets, and 12-inch radius strike a balance between traditional feel and modern control. Equipped with 60s Burstbucker humbuckers and finished with gold hardware, this SG '61 delivers articulate vintage tone with authority, clarity, and unmistakable Gibson character. Supplied with a Gibson hardshell case, it's a refined take on a true classic.

Full Description
View Full Description1961 SG construction and sculpted body design
The SG Standard ’61 is built around a solid mahogany body that delivers a focused midrange, fast attack, and lively resonance. Deeply sculpted body bevels reduce weight while improving comfort, allowing the guitar to sit naturally against the player. The classic 22nd-fret neck joint reflects early SG design, improving upper-fret access and contributing to the instrument’s distinctive feel. Finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, the body retains an open, resonant character that develops naturally over time.
SlimTaper neck and rosewood fretboard feel
A set mahogany neck with Gibson’s SlimTaper profile provides a fast, low-profile feel that suits both rhythm and lead playing. The bound rosewood fingerboard features a 12-inch radius, offering comfort for first-position chords while supporting controlled bends higher up the neck. Twenty-two medium jumbo frets deliver a familiar vintage response with enough height for confident vibrato. Together, the neck profile and fretboard layout create a balanced playing experience that feels immediate and responsive.
60s Burstbuckers and traditional control layout
Gibson 60s Burstbucker humbuckers capture the open, articulate character of early PAF-style pickups, with added clarity and top-end presence. Each pickup is wired to its own volume and tone control using audio taper potentiometers, allowing smooth, musical adjustment. A three-way toggle switch lets you select either pickup individually or blend them together, making it easy to move between biting bridge tones, warm neck sounds, and balanced middle-position textures.
Gold hardware and vintage-correct appointments
Gold-finished hardware adds a refined visual contrast to the Aged Cherry finish while retaining classic SG functionality. An ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminium Stop Bar tailpiece provide solid tuning stability and sustain, while Vintage Deluxe tuners with keystone buttons ensure precise tuning control. A Graph Tech nut supports smooth string movement and tuning consistency. Supplied with a Gibson hardshell case, the SG Standard ’61 is a complete, stage-ready instrument built with authentic materials and detailing.
