The previous single-cut body gave way to a much thinner, lighter mahogany body with two pointed horns and generous access to the upper frets. What was initially still sold as the new Les Paul Standard soon evolved into the standalone Gibson SG. The abbreviation stands for “Solid Guitar.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere was also an economic consideration behind the radical design: Gibson wanted to offer a more modern, more comfortable solidbody guitar and stay competitive with Fender. The plan worked. The SG became one of the company’s most successful models and went on to shape generations of rock guitarists. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA special chapter in this early SG history is the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSideways Vibrola\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. With this side-operated vibrato system, Gibson wanted to create an additional means of expression while also offering an alternative to the competition’s tremolo systems. Today the design is known above all for its unusual mechanics and its distinctive vintage look. It represents an era when guitar makers experimented a great deal and kept developing the electric guitar both technically and visually.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe SG ’61 Tremolo captures exactly this early period: slim lines, mahogany, Cherry Red and the signature tremolo system come together in a design that has lost none of its individuality to this day.
