EPIPHONE / 1961 Les Paul SG Standard Aged Sixities Cherry

A reproduction of the Les Paul SG, first introduced in 1961, developed in collaboration with Gibson Custom Shop!

In collaboration with the Gibson Custom Shop, Epiphone has successfully recreated one of the most essential and popular guitar designs in history as an Inspired by Gibson model.
The Epiphone 1961 Les Paul SG Standard pays homage to the legendary original SG.
In 1961, the original Les Paul model shape was discontinued in favor of a new design known today as the SG (solid guitar).
The two-piece solid mahogany, double cutaway body is beveled in a Custom Shop design, and the neck side features the one-piece mahogany, slim-taper C-shape neck profile used on the legendary early Les Paul SG models.
The guitar is equipped with a long pickguard, Gibson BurstBucker humbucking pickups wired with CTS potentiometers and Mallory capacitors, Graph Tech nut, Switchcraft output jack and toggle switch, etc., in keeping with the specifications of the past; the finish is impeccable in terms of both looks and practicality.
The tuner knobs feature the historic double-ring design.
It has all the styling and appearance of the legendary SG and comes with a vintage-style hardshell case.
