The Choice of Legends - Now in Satin
The SG Standard ‘61 Maestro Vibrola Faded returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played, and loved–shaping sound across generations and genres of music. It features a satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish that gives it the look and feel of a long-treasured musical companion. As the name implies, the Gibson SG Standard '61 Maestro Vibrola Faded also adds vibrato capability.
