I built one from scratch recently, assembling parts over the years, but it turned out the wood body is not a 1961: it is a 1964.

I had owned previously a mint example of a 1961 SG Standard. The 'E-Bucker' pickups closely resemble the tone of what some of the best sounding 1958-1960 "PAF" guitars sound like now.

It is simply one of the finest reissues available- not only are the Maple tops handpicked but so too are the solid Mahogany backs (for extra-light weight and resonance) and solid one-piece, extra-dark Rosewood fingerboards.įor some of our Handpicked run we have selected our favourite examples of original '59 Sunburst Les Pauls featured in Yasuhiko Iwande's 'Beauty of the Burst' book and asked the Custom Shop to re-create them.
