## Description

Developed in Partnership With the Gibson Custom Shop, This SG is Ready For Every Stage. The Epiphone 1961 Les Paul SG Standard pays tribute to the legendary original - the very first SG. In 1961, the original shape of the Les Paul model went on hiatus, replaced by an all-new design that is known today as the SG or “solid guitar.” Featuring a two-piece solid mahogany, double-cutaway body with Custom Shop Historic bevels, it also has the one-piece mahogany, fast-playing SlimTaper C-shaped neck profile of those legendary early Les Paul SG models. It also has a historically inspired long pickguard and comes equipped with a pair of Gibson BurstBucker humbucking pickups wired to CTS potentiometers and Mallory capacitors, a Graph Tech nut, and Switchcraft output jack and toggle switch. The Epiphone Deluxe tuners feature a historically inspired double ring design.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good guitar
*by K***N on January 24, 2025*

I was really happy with the instrument it played as good as a Gibson SG. I played at guitar Center and I was really happy with the speed of the shipping. Got there about a week earlier than expected delivery date. Thank you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great guitar
*by M***O on April 11, 2025*

For the person that didn't know why it's called a Les Paul SG, It's because the original LP was an SG.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very very nice higher end guitar than their standards & customs SG’s. Worth it.
*by E***A on December 16, 2023*

These are Epiphone’s highest end SG’s and well worth it. Great sounding Gibson Burst Bucker pickups, high end electronics inside it like Switchcraft parts, CTS pots and Mallory caps & wth very good hardware on it especially the Gotoh tuners made for those Epi models only. And a very nice Lifton style case to go with it.These 1961 Les Paul SG’s are closer in quality to the Japan made Epiphone Elite series or Elitists SG’s made 20 yrs ago.Very nice quality guitar & well worth.
