1961 GibsonLes Paul/SG Standard – Cherry
This first-year Gibson Les Paul (SG) is a gorgeous piece, and thanks to its original PAFs, it sounds even better than it looks! This piece has aged gracefully since it left the factory in 1961, with light fading, playwear, and checking. The neck has a nice medium D profile that fills the hand comfortably, and the rich rosewood board and well-maintained frets are an absolute joy to play with. The two PAFs are very well-balanced, and both the bridge and neck deliver the tone everyone’s looking for. This piece is fully original and is free from any touch-ups, modifications, or repairs.
