â??60s Slim-Taper Neck Profile
No guitar neck profiles are more distinguishable than the neck profiles employed on the Gibson models of today. The â??60s neck profileâ??found on the SG â??61 Reissueâ??is the more modern, slim-tapered neck most commonly associated with the Les Paul and SG models of the early 1960s. The neck is machined in Gibsonâ??s rough mill using wood shapers to make the initial cuts. But once the fingerboard gets glued on, the restâ??including the final sandingâ??is done by hand. That means there are no two necks with the exact same dimensions. So while it still has the basic characteristics of its respective profile, each neck will be slightly different, with a distinct but traditional feel.
Trapezoid Inlays
The classic trapezoid inlay is one of the most distinguishable features of many traditional Gibson models, including the SG. A figured, swirl acrylic gives these inlays that classic â??pearlâ? look. They are inserted into the fingerboard using a process that eliminates gaps and doesnâ??t require the use of fillers.
TWO â??57 Classic Pickups
Among the qualities that make Gibsonâ??s original â??Patent Applied Forâ? humbucking pickups so unique are the subtle variations between coil windings. For the first few years of their productionâ??1955 to 1961â??Gibsonâ??s PAF humbuckers were wound using imprecise machines, resulting in pickups with slightly different output and tone, desirable to players who wanted to mix and match and explore a complete spectrum of tonal possibilities. The â??57 Classic and â??57 Classic Plus pickups are the result of Gibsonâ??s drive to capture and recreate this renowned characteristic. Introduced in 1992, the â??57 Classic provides warm, full tone with a balanced response, packing that classic Gibson PAF humbucker crunch. The â??57 Classic Plus is the perfect bridge-position companion to the â??57 Classic, inspired by those original PAFs that received a few extra turns of wire. Both are made by Gibson to the exact same specs as the original PAFs, including Alnico II magnets, … Click For More Info
