The Gibson Custom Shop 1961 SG Les Paul Standard VOS is a faithful recreation of one of the most legendary guitars in rock history. Originally introduced as a redesign of the Les Paul in 1961, this sharp-horned solidbody was eventually rebranded as the “SG,” and it quickly became the weapon of choice for a wide range of guitar gods — from Angus Young and Tony Iommi to George Harrison and Eric Clapton. This Custom Shop reissue brings that magic roaring back to life with stunning historical accuracy, from the ultra-lightweight solid mahogany body and hide-glue long tenon neck joint, to the Alnico 3 Custombucker pickups delivering pure 1960s-style bite and bloom.

The Vintage Original Spec (VOS) treatment adds a gently aged finish, lightly oxidized nickel hardware, and a soft, broken-in feel that adds to the authenticity without crossing into heavy relic territory. With no weight relief and a SlimTaper neck profile, this SG feels alive in your hands — resonant, snappy, and wickedly fast under the fingers. Players will love the precise articulation of the Custombuckers, especially for classic rock, hard rock, and blues where midrange bite and harmonic complexity shine through. Whether you’re chasing vintage tone or simply looking for one of the most iconic double-cutaway guitars ever made, this ‘61 SG Les Paul Standard is built to inspire for generations. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this blast from the past comes with a hardshell case for convenient transport and premium protection.
