Like the original 1961 SG and all of the classic variations since, the SG '61 Reissue Satin has a body crafted from solid mahogany in the asymmetrical "double-horned" deep double-cutaway design. A light and supremely resonant wood, mahogany gives this guitar outstanding tonal richness and depth, with plenty of clarity and sustain. It is glued into the body with Gibson's acclaimed mortise-and-tenon neck joint, and topped with a rich, brown baked maple fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets and vintage cream binding. Add it up, and the SG '61 Reissue Satin is one powerful and elegant slice of vintage Gibson.
