NOTES
A high‑end, elegant semi‑hollow built by the Gibson Custom Shop, combining classic ES style with premium appointments.
Key Features
Body: Laminated maple top, back, and sides with a solid maple center block for sustain and feedback control.
Neck: Mahogany with a comfortable late‑’50s‑style profile.
Fingerboard: Ebony with large Block inlays.
Hardware: Gold hardware, Bigsby B7 vibrato, and ABR‑1 bridge (often roller‑style for smoother Bigsby use).
Electronics: Two ’57 Classic humbuckers, traditional 2‑volume/2‑tone layout, 3‑way switch.
Tone & Feel
Warm, articulate, and rich in harmonics. The Bigsby adds a smooth, vintage vibrato feel, while the center block keeps the guitar tight and controlled at higher volumes. Ideal for blues, jazz, soul, and classic rock.
