60th Anniversary ’61 Les Paul SG with Jake Kiszka of Greta Van Fleet

Guitarist Jake Kiszka, of Greta Van Fleet, redefines rock and roll with a modern edge and his 1961 Gibson Les Paul (SG). In one of our most faithful recreations yet, the Custom 60th Anniversary ’61 Les Paul SG is a stunner from top to bottom, and in the hands of Greta Van Fleet guitarist Jake Kiszka, it really comes to life. In 1961, Gibson brought an entirely new shape to the lineup--what we now know as the Les Paul SG. A sleek, double-cutaway, all-mahogany body design that would eventually become Gibson’s most popular guitar to date. The now-iconic shapes were considered bold for the time, but then Gibson president, Ted McCarty, felt the market demanded new and innovative designs. Jake has been drawn to the SG’s unique design since he was just three years old. From the very beginning, he was determined to unlock the mystery of the SG. For Jake, the key to this lies in taking the iconic and influential instrument and using it to forge his own path. As Jake puts it, “This particular model has defined me as a player, and I think I have defined it in return.” For more on Jake Kiszka and Greta Van Fleet: Check out their website: http://www.thebattleatgardensgate.com Listen to their music: https://gvf.lnk.to/complete Catch them on tour: https://gvf.lnk.to/tour To learn more about the 60th Anniversary, 1961 Les Paul SG Custom and Standard guitars, watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3xNJkI_-4Y Shop the SG collections here: https://www.gibson.com/en-US/Guitars/SG Visual Director: Paige Sara
