Gibson Custom Shop SG Standard VOS Cherry Finish

Take home a truly inspiring piece of history with this SG Standard now that Gibson have breathed new life into it over 45 years after its introduction as part of their VOS series.

This Gibson Custom Shop SG Standard Reissue VOS at the Academy of Sound was a futuristic design when it was introduced in 1960, and it still has a modern look. Featuring an ultra-thin, two-horned body, the SG series addressed 2 of what Ted McCarty saw as the major issues of the now-retired Les Paul body style: weight and limited access to the upper treble register. The new body shape of the SG Standard was dramatically lighter than the old Les Paul and offered access to the entire fretboard. This amazing re-creation includes pickups and long neck tenon modeled precisely on the original. The VOS aging treatment makes it look exactly like a vintage original instrument that's been treated with loving care for its whole life.
