The Korena take

Gibson Custom’s 1961 Les Paul SG Standard Reissue pairs a solid mahogany double-cutaway body with a set-in SlimTaper mahogany neck and 24.75-inch scale. Two Custombucker Alnico III humbuckers run through individual volume and tone controls, with a 3-way selector for neck, bridge, or both pickups. The guitar has an ABR-1 bridge, aluminum stopbar tailpiece, Vintage Deluxe tuners, and a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish. A hardshell case is included for transport and storage.
