2026 Gibson SG Standard ’61 with Stoptail in Vintage Cherry; Comes with Original Hard Case and Pro-Setup
Categories
Here we have a 2026 Gibson SG Standard ’61, Vintage Cherry Finish, in Excellent+ Condition! There is hardly any wear to speak of, although we have highlighted evidence of player use in the photos. Cosmetically, there is not much going on with the body top. Some light hand marks, maybe light tarnish, on the pickup covers, but we are confident most of it can be cleaned/wiped up. Very light marks on the pickguard cellophane that is still on the guitar; please feel free to remove the protective cellophane if purchased. The back body has a couple of tiny nicks in the finish, and the backplate cover has some fine scratches and a nick as well. The back of the neck shows really fine scratches from the players hand around the first few fretting positions. You can’t really see it in the photos, but we highlighted the area to let you know it’s there.
This is a really clean SG! It has been professionally setup by our shop repairman, and ready for its new home! The guitar comes with its original hard case, with case candy and paperwork inserts.

The SG Standard ‘61 returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played, and loved – shaping sound across generations and genres of music. 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 legendary original models from the early 1960s. It features a solid mahogany body with the classic double-cutaway SG shape, complete with the iconic deeply sculpted body scarfing and double horns that make this model instantly identifiable. The mahogany neck has a fast-playing SlimTaper™ profile and is capped with a bound rosewood fretboard that is equipped with 22 medium jumbo frets and acrylic trapezoid inlays. The fretboard has a 12” radius, so it’s comfortable for first-position chords, and lead lines played higher up the neck won’t fret out. The neck joins the body at the 22nd fret, ensuring easy access to its entire length, making the SG an ideal guitar for lead players. As with the earliest SG models, the SG Standard ’61 features a 5-ply teardrop-shaped pickguard. The nickel-plated hardware includes a classic-style ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece that help contribute to the model’s excellent sustain. The SG Standard ’61 is equipped with smooth-turning Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons and has a Graph Tech® nut. The pair ensure rock-solid tuning stability. The pickups are 60s Burstbucker™ humbuckers™ for a classic voice with added power and top end. The 2 volume and 2 tone controls feature audio taper potentiometers and are hand-wired with Orange Drop® capacitors. The controls are capped with black Top Hat knobs. The SG Standard ’61 delivers the legendary SG tone, outstanding playability, and American-made Gibson quality that have made the SG the choice of countless players around the world for decades. A Gibson hardshell case is also included.
