The Gibson SG Standard ’61 Maestro Vibrola revives one of Gibson’s most iconic designs — a sleek, double-cutaway instrument that defined the sound of rock for generations. Lightweight, resonant, and unmistakably expressive, the ’61 SG pairs vintage style with the modern playability today’s musicians demand. The addition of the Maestro Vibrola tailpiece expands its tonal reach, allowing smooth pitch modulation and expressive vibrato effects while maintaining tuning stability.

Its solid mahogany body and SlimTaper neck deliver a warm, responsive tone with excellent sustain and comfort. The bound rosewood fingerboard provides a classic feel, while the 60s Burstbucker pickups capture all the brightness, punch, and harmonic complexity that made the early SGs legendary. Whether you’re chasing vintage crunch, articulate cleans, or soaring leads, this SG delivers the versatility and bite that continue to make it a staple for players across genres.

Finished in Vintage Cherry gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, the SG Standard ’61 Maestro Vibrola combines rich, singing tone with timeless aesthetics and the unmistakable energy of a true Gibson classic. Available now at Haggerty’s Music and complete with a Gibson hardshell case, it’s ready for stage, studio, or collection.
