Gibson Custom Color Series:

SG Standard

The Gibson SG Standard rocks the classic looks and features associated with the late 60s style SG™ models sought after by many. Now featured as part of the Custom Color Series, it adds six exciting new color options to liven up any stage or guitar collection. It features a rounded profile mahogany neck , bound rosewood fingerboard, long tenon 19th fret neck joint, and a solid mahogany body that provides the backbone for singing sustain. The 490R and 490T Alnico 2 pickups deliver Patent Applied For tone with a slight increase in upper midrange response. A black, 5-ply, full-face pickguard sets this SG Standard apart from others… a truly versatile classic.

SG Standard ‘61

The SG Standard ’61 returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played, and loved –shaping sound across generations and genres of music. And now, it’s available in six attention-grabbing custom colors. In 1961, the Les Paul™ model was put on hiatus, and an all-new design evolved into what is today known as the SG™ or “solid guitar.”The Gibson SG Standard ’61 retains the styling of the original featuring a SlimTaper ™ mahogany neck and a bound rosewood fingerboard. The mahogany body features deeply sculpted body scarfing, a 5-ply teardrop pickguard, and a 22nd-fret neck joint. The nickel-plated hardware includes a classic-style Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and Keystone tuners. The pickups are 60s Burstbucker ™ humbuckers™ for a classic voice with added power and top end. Controls feature audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop™ capacitors. A hardshell case is also included.

Les Paul Standard 50s Figured Top

The Les Paul™ Standard 50s Figured Top boasts a solid mahogany body, an AA figured maple top, and a distinctive translucent custom color nitrocellulose lacquer finish that showcases the figured maple top.

The Les Paul Standard 50s Figured is equipped with an ABR-1, the classic-style Tune-O-Matic™ bridge, an aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons, and gold Top Hat knobs. The calibrated Burstbucker™ 1 (neck) and Burstbucker 2 (bridge) pickups are loaded with Alnico 2 magnets and wired to audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop™ capacitors. Now available in vivid custom colors including Ocean Blue, 60s Cherry, Blueberry Burst, Translucent Fuchsia, Translucent Oxblood, and Honey Amber, a hardshell case completes the package.

Les Paul Standard 50s Plain Top

The Les Paul™ Standard 50s Plain Top has a solid mahogany body with a plain maple top and a mahogany neck with a rounded, 50s Vintage profile with a rosewood fingerboard and trapezoid inlays. It’s equipped with an ABR-1, the classic-style Tune-O-Matic™ bridge, an aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons, and gold Top Hat knobs.
