From Gibson Custom Shop, the '61 reissue is a faithful recreation of the first year of the SG, with the added Sideways Vibrola which actually is a great way to add weight back to the body so it sits evenly. It is a rock machine!

From Gibson Guitar’s Website: "1961 brought some big changes to the Gibson Les Paul™, most notably a sleek, all-new, double-cutaway, all-mahogany body design that would later be renamed the SG™. This Gibson Custom Shop model recreates those cherished originals, complete with a Sideways Vibrola, a side-pull action vibrato that is similar to those found on models from the early 1960s. It also has a bound Authentic '61 Thin Profile mahogany neck, Kluson® tuners, an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge, two Custombucker pickups, CTS® vintage-taper pots, and Black Beauty capacitors." Comes with case with certificate of authenticity.
