A Beautiful Classic SG Standard!
In 1961, when Gibson released their "new and improved" Les Paul, a few things happened. On one hand, Les Paul himself didn't particularly like this new model and refused to be associated with it. On the other hand, this new Solid Guitar (SG) model changed the face of rock music forever. Weighing only a fraction as much as the massive Les Paul, the SG soon found widespread favor among guitarists everywhere. Its thinly carved body gave the SG a brassier and more aggressive tone - just what the new wave of mainstream rock artists were after.

The SG's slimmer '60s-style neck carve also made it faster than the Les Paul - much faster - and that opened up a world of new playing techniques that became the staples of the classic rock era. Now, this Gibson Custom SG Standard captures those glory days of the SG with an old-school model featuring classic appointments. You'll love the feel of this SG Standard's smooth and responsive action. And when it comes to classic tone, nothing beats the sound of the SG Standard's dual '57 Classic humbuckers, which round out its natural bite. You'd be hard pressed to find a better example of a classic SG - pick up your Gibson Custom SG Standard today!
