Gibson SG Standard '61 Maestro Vibrola Vintage Cherry Electric Guitar With Case

The Choice Of Legends

The SG Standard ‘61 Maestro Vibrola returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played and loved -- shaping sound across generations and genres of music. As the name implies, the Gibson SG Standard '61 Maestro Vibrola adds vibrato capability to the SG Standard '61.

 Features include a slim taper mahogany neck and a bound rosewood fingerboard.  The mahogany body features a deeply sculpted body scarfing, a 5-ply teardrop pickguard and a 22nd-fret neck joint. The SG Standard ’61 features a stunning gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish, a hallmark of vintage guitars. Unlike modern polyurethane coatings, nitro finishes are much thinner, enabling the wood to resonate more freely. This finish not only delivers an authentic vintage appearance but also contributes to the guitar’s tonal richness. With its classic look and feel, this instrument embodies the character of a well-preserved vintage guitar that will continue to mature beautifully over time.

The Maestro Vibrola offers smooth vibrato effects and the classic styling of the Lyre engraving on the tailpiece cover. The nickel plated hardware includes a classic-style Tune-O-Matic bridge and keystone tuners in addition to the Maestro Vibrola Tailpiece.

The 60s Burstbucker pickups deliver an authentic classic Gibson sound, offering a focused low end, rich midrange, and sparkling highs. Engineered to faithfully replicate the original 1960s humbuckers, these pickups provide the signature tone that defines the Gibson SG. For those seeking the unmistakable voice of a vintage Gibson SG, the SG Standard ’61 is the ideal choice.  Controls feature audio taper potentiometers and orange drop capacitors.

The guitar comes complete with a quality Gibson hardshell case.
