In 1961, the traditional Les Paul Standard received a makeover that included a thinner body with sharply pointed horns and eventually a new name-the SG. Today's reissue of the '61 SG Electric Guitar features the small pickguard and nickel-plated hardware of the original. Features of this guitar include a 24-3/4"-scale set mahogany neck, trapezoid inlays and a Tune-O-Matic bridge.
