Finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer in Vintage Cherry, it's a notably light solidbody at 6.92 lbs., contributing to the SG's reputation as one of the most comfortable full-size electrics to play for hours on end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe mahogany neck carries Gibson's fast-playing SlimTaper profile (.780\" at the 1st fret, .910\" at the 12th), joining the body at the 22nd fret for easy access to the entire fretboard — a genuine advantage for lead players working the upper register. It's topped with a bound rosewood fretboard, acrylic trapezoid inlays, and a 12\" radius across 22 medium jumbo frets and the classic 24.75\" Gibson scale length, comfortable for open chords low on the neck while still resisting fret-out on bends up high. A 1.692\" GraphTech nut pairs with Vintage Deluxe tuners with keystone buttons for smooth, stable tuning, and the headstock carries a mother-of-pearl Gibson logo and crown inlay. An ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge with an aluminum stopbar tailpiece adds to the model's well-known sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eElectronics come from a pair of '60s Burstbucker humbuckers, voiced with more output and top-end bite than the earlier PAF-style Burstbuckers for a classic SG tone with real punch. The circuit is hand-wired with audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors, wired to independent volume and tone controls per pickup, black Top Hat knobs, and a 3-way toggle selector, dressed with the model's signature 5-ply black teardrop pickguard. Whether you're a lead player who wants unobstructed upper-fret access, a rock or blues player chasing that classic SG bite and bark, or a player who prioritizes lightweight comfort on long gigs, this SG Standard '61 delivers the original spec that built the model's reputation. This Gibson SG Standard '61 Vintage Cherry includes a Gibson hardshell case.
