The Gibson Custom Shop 1961 SG Standard Reissue Burst Murphy Lab is a meticulously crafted reissue that combines historic accuracy with modern playability. Its solid mahogany SG body, finished in Murphy Lab Heavy Aged Reissue Burst, captures the look and feel of the original 1961 model, while the set mahogany neck with an authentic thin D-shape provides exceptional comfort and playability. The rosewood fingerboard features aged cellulose trapezoid inlays and a 12-inch radius, paired with medium jumbo frets for smooth bends and precise intonation. Every detail, from the Reissue 3/16 truss rod with brass anchor offset peen to the nylon reissue nut, has been faithfully recreated to deliver a vintage playing experience that feels and sounds like a true 1961 SG Standard.

Equipped with CustomBucker Aged AL3 pickups in both neck and bridge positions, this SG delivers the classic biting, articulate tone SGs are known for, whether for blues, rock, or hard-hitting riff work. Historic hardware such as the ABR-1 bridge, stop bar tailpiece, and Kluson Deluxe tuners in aged nickel complements the vintage aesthetic while providing stable tuning and reliable performance. The hand-aged top hat control knobs, 1961 true historic pickguard, and reissue burst finish give this instrument a distinctive, time-worn character. Complete with a certificate of authenticity, manuals, and a hardshell case, the 1961 SG Standard Reissue Burst Murphy Lab is ideal for collectors and players seeking a historically accurate, high-performance SG.
