description

Celebrating its 120th Anniversary, the company’s 2014 guitar and bass lineup is striking in its variety, its beauty and its host of updated and upgraded features. This fine guitar traces the evolution of Gibson, from its beginnings in a small shop in Michigan to its current roll out of new models that will appeal to musicians of every stripe.

 

The bound rosewood fingerboard has undercut frets over the binding to increase the "playing" surface of the frets and features a 120th Anniversary inlay at the 12th fret. Other key features are the mini-humbucker pickups, generating a bright unique tone, max grip speed knobs, Steinberger tuners, Graph Tech nut and a chrome tune-o-matic bridge with Stopbar tailpiece.

 

This guitar is professionally setup and protected in the original Gibson hardshell case.
