Gibson SG '61 Reissue Heritage Cherry 2008

 Gibson '61 SG, cherry red, made in USA 2008. For many moons, the '61 style SG was Gibson's top-of-the-line SG model before you hit their Custom Shop offerings. It's a classy thing: classic curves, rich mahogany body and neck, swish thin nitro cherry finish... it has the look exactly down pat. This one balances nicely in the hands, which is a marvel: it's 2.9kg; light as a feather. The tone is dark and warm, fitting for the genre: the neck pickup growls and gurgles with a thick swampy punch, while the bridge pickup snarls and snaps and offers plenty of body to animate your chords perfectly. This one has the original case and docs and is in admirable shape for a guitar built to riff with abandon. An SG should be fun, and this definitely is.
