Crafted in collaboration with the Gibson Custom Shop, the Epiphone 1961 Les Paul SG Standard is an exceptional recreation of one of the most iconic electric guitar designs ever made. This Inspired by Gibson model pays homage to the very first SG — the groundbreaking 1961 Les Paul redesign that redefined the solid-body guitar.
Built with a 2-piece solid mahogany body featuring Custom Shop Historic bevels and a 1-piece mahogany SlimTaper™ C-shaped neck, this guitar delivers the fast, smooth feel of the original. A long vintage-style pickguard, Gibson BurstBucker humbuckers, and premium components such as CTS pots, Mallory capacitors, a Graph Tech nut, and Switchcraft hardware ensure authentic tone and reliability.
Epiphone Deluxe tuners with a classic double-ring design, along with legendary SG aesthetics, complete the look. The 1961 Les Paul SG Standard also includes a vintage-style hardshell case for ultimate protection and style.
