Features We Love:
Custombucker Alnico III Pickups
Gibson have not stopped at the aesthetics but have made sure that the pickups here also perform to the same high standard as the guitar itself. Taking influence from PAF tones, they offer a warm, well balanced and full sound. This means they handle clean tones just as well as when you apply some gain.
Kluson Single Line Tuners
Taking care of pitch accuracy, these do a great job of getting you in tune quickly and keeping you there. They also fit with the 60s vibe and look completely at home.
Gibson Custom Shop Quality
Gibson Custom Shop is known for their attention to detail and finesse, both of which are present here in abundance. From the authentic '61 neck profile to the hide glue fit, these tiny elements come together to form an accurate recreation of a vintage guitar but without any of the complications that come with an instrument of significant age.
Who Is It For?
For players looking for an incredible hollow-body guitar with an incredible sound that has to be heard to be believed.

- A classic model with great attention to detail
- High level craft of Gibson Custom Shop
