A Gibson USA SG ’61 Maestro that blends the sleek performance and fast feel of the legendary early-’60s SG with the flashy visual style of late-’60s Gibson appointments. Finished in classic Ebony with full gold hardware, this model delivers a striking stage presence while staying true to the aggressive, resonant character that has made SGs a rock staple for decades.

Built with a solid mahogany body and a comfortable ’61 Slim Taper mahogany neck, this SG feels fast, lightweight, and effortlessly playable. The rosewood fingerboard and long-tenon neck joint contribute to a warm, articulate response with excellent sustain and resonance.

Equipped with a pair of Gibson T-Type humbuckers, the SG ’61 Maestro offers a balanced vintage-inspired voice with punchy mids, open highs, and plenty of bite when pushed. Handwired controls with Orange Drop capacitors provide smooth, responsive tonal shaping, while the Maestro Vibrola adds classic vintage styling and expressive shimmer.

Finished off with ’68-style cosmetic appointments including gold hardware, witch hat knobs, and small guard styling, this SG combines the best of two iconic eras into one standout instrument.
