Gibson Custom 60th Anniversary 1961 Les Paul SG Custom With Sideways Vibrola | Polaris White *Used*
Vintage Accuracy - Custombuckers, Hand-Wired CTS Pots & Black Beauty Capacitors - Huge Saving Due To Repair
The Gibson Custom Shop 60th Anniversary 1961 Les Paul SG Custom with Sideways Vibrola in Polaris White is a faithful reissue of the first SG, blending vintage design with modern craftsmanship. This pre-owned 2021 model, priced at £2999 (RRP £6799), has a professional headstock repair and minor cosmetic wear but is structurally sound and plays beautifully. Featuring a slim-taper mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, three Custombucker pickups, and a unique Sideways Vibrola, it offers a stunning mix of historical charm and tonal versatility.
Own a Piece of Gibson History
Introduced in 1961, the new Les Paul represented a bold shift in Gibson's design philosophy. Its double-cutaway mahogany body and slim taper neck broke new ground; it was renamed the SG and it has had enduring popularity. This 60th Anniversary reissue faithfully recreates those groundbreaking early models, delivering an authentic vintage experience.
A Testament to Craftsmanship
Handcrafted in Nashville by the expert luthiers of the Gibson Custom Shop, this guitar exemplifies unparalleled attention to detail. Every element has been meticulously designed to replicate the original 1961 Les Paul SG Custom, from its bound mahogany neck to the ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge. The real pearl inlays, gold hardware, and ebony fingerboard elevate the aesthetic, providing a luxurious feel and timeless elegance.
The Sound of Legend
Equipped with three Custombucker pickups, this guitar offers a versatile tonal palette that spans shimmering cleans to roaring overdrives. The pickups are paired with hand-wired CTS vintage-taper potentiometers and Black Beauty capacitors, ensuring precise tonal control. Whether you're exploring the nuances of its clean tones or unleashing searing rock riffs, this instrument delivers with unrivalled clarity and richness.
Distinctive Features
The Sideways Vibrola vibrato tailpiece is a unique feature that captures the charm of early '60s Gibsons. While not commonly seen today, it adds a distinctive character and nostalgic appeal. The guitar's Nitrocellulose VOS finish enhances its vintage vibe, giving it a subtle patina that feels as though it has aged gracefully over decades.
Condition and Value
This 2021 pre-owned model comes with a bit of character. It has undergone a professional headstock repair, and while structurally sound, it bears a textured appearance on the back of the headstock due to the lacquer curing process. Tarnished hardware and minor cosmetic marks add to its story, but none of these affect its playability or tonal brilliance. At a dramatically reduced price of £2999 (RRP £6799), this is an opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind Gibson Custom Shop guitar that's brimming with character and history.
Complete Peace of Mind
As with all instruments sold by Peach Guitars, this Les Paul SG Custom will receive a comprehensive setup by our expert technicians before dispatch, ensuring it plays perfectly right out of the case. Along with its original hardshell case, you'll receive a certificate of authenticity and additional memorabilia, making this guitar a true collector's piece.
