Gibson SG Faded Bass
Gibson SG Faded Limited Edition Bass

This limited edition Gibson SG bass guitar is a special run. It has a faded finish that gives it the look of a gently aged vintage bass. Mahogany neck and body with a rosewood fingerboard and chrome hardware. Features a vintage-style TB Plus bass humbucker at the neck and a bass mini-humbucker on the bridge. 2 volumes and 1 tone control.

Gibson Firebird Non-Reverse
Gibson Firebird Non-Reverse

The original Gibson Non-reverse Firebirds were produced from 1966 1969 and featured a headstock with banjo styled tuners on the bass side, and a body having the bass side horn slightly longer than the treble side horn. This body style was less radical than earlier Firebird models and provided greater access to the neck, which had a fast slim-taper '60s profile giving this instrument extraordinary playability. The Gibson Firebird Non-Reverse has a 24½ scale body made of solid mahogany and a 1-piece mahogany neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard. Other amenities include dot inlays, gold hardware, and an ABR-1 fixed bridge and stop tailpiece.This model has electronics similar in style to the Firebird VII (originally introduced in 1963), and is fitted with 3 Gibson mini-humbucking pickups

Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Neck
Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Neck Heritage Cherry Sunburst Nickel Hardware

Exclusive Alnico V pickups with classic neck and head.
The feel and sound of the original '50s LP comes from a classic, hefty neck design with the smaller peghead, push-in-bushing green tuning keys, and nickel hardware. Staggering looks with brilliant transparent finishes on figured maple tops. Burstbucker V pickups feature Alnico V magnets like those used in the P90s from the '50s. One coil has more wraps than the other, as did most '50s and early '60s "Patent Applied For"s. These waxed, double-potted pickups deliver a tighter, balanced, biting tone with more midrange. Mahogany body and neck withrosewood fretboard. Includes hardshell case.

Gibson ES-175 Guitar
Gibson Custom ES-175 Electric Guitar

The Gibson ES-175 Electric Guitar debuted in 1949. With a comfortable body size and stylish pointed cutaway, it quickly became the most popular guitar of the jazz world. The transparent finishes (sunburst with gold hardware or antique natural with nickel) on the laminated maple body of this reissue electric guitar always remind you that you're touching wood. Binding on the top, back, and fretboard, combined with a trapeze tailpiece and parallelogram fretboard inlays, provides a big touch of class. Traditional Gibson design and 2 '57 Classic humbuckers dish out huge helpings of tone. Gibson includes a hardshell case with the reissue ES-175.
