The SG Standard '61 Maestro Vibrola Faded brings back the iconic design that has made the SG a timeless favorite among musicians across generations and musical styles. Its satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish gives the instrument a naturally worn-in appearance and the comfortable feel of a well-loved guitar that has been played for years.
As its name suggests, this model is equipped with a Maestro Vibrola, providing smooth vibrato effects while adding a distinctive vintage aesthetic. The tailpiece features the classic Lyre engraving, further enhancing its period-correct appearance. The guitar features a Slim Taper mahogany neck paired with a bound rosewood fingerboard. Its mahogany body is deeply sculpted for enhanced comfort and includes a traditional 5-ply teardrop pickguard and a 22nd-fret neck joint. Nickel-plated hardware includes an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, Keystone tuners, and the Maestro Vibrola. For authentic vintage-inspired tone, the SG is equipped with open-coil '60s BurstBucker pickups, delivering a classic Gibson voice with enhanced power and clarity in the upper frequencies. The electronics are completed with audio-taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors, providing responsive control and helping preserve the guitar's distinctive vintage character.
