Gibson SG Standard '61 Maestro Vibrola Electric Guitar - Vintage Cherry

Our Take:

The Gibson SG was the choice axe of Rock Legends like Angus Young, Tony Iommi, and even Eric Clapton during his time with Cream. The Gibson SG Standard ‘61 with Maestro Vibrola puts all of that history in your hands. Featuring a mahogany body, a slim taper mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard, BurstBucker 61T and 61R pickups, topped off with nickel hardware, an ABR-1 Tune-o-Matic bridge and a beautiful Maestro Vibrola tail piece, the Gibson SG Standard ‘61 Maestro Vibrola is a true tribute to legendary rock history.

Gibson's Take:
