Gibson Custom Shop L-4 CES 3-Pickup
Gibson Custom Shop L-4 CES 3-Pickup Vintage Sunburst one of a kind electric guitar

Even though Gibson had originally created the laminated top ES-175 in 1948 to fill the need for an electric version of the acoustic, carved-top L-4C, the demand still existed for an electric L-4 with a fully carved top. In the late 1950s, Gibson answered this call by releasing small runs of variously configured L-4 CES guitars, some with Charlie Christian pickups, some with alnico pickups, and some with humbuckers. This Gibson L-4 CES 3-Pickup Vintage Sunburst one-of-a-kind electric guitar is a modification of the final incarnation of the L-4 CES with 3 - '57 Classic humbuckers and solid mahogany back and sides.

1963 ES-335 Historic Block Reissue
Gibson 1963 ES-335 Historic Block Reissue Nickel Hardware

A Custom Shop marvel with the fleet feel and luxury looks of the fastest 335 ever.

In mid-1962 Gibson's fantastically popular thinline semihollow wonder machine adopted a thinner, faster neck profile and gorgeous pearloid block inlays to enhance the rosewood fretboard. This precision Historic reissue is identical in every way to the original. It's made on the original forms by some of the world's finest luthiers.

Gibson Faded Flying V
Gibson Faded Flying V

New faded finish gives it the look of a seasoned performer.

When the original V came out in '58, it was ahead of its time. When it was reissued 9 years later, it became a favorite of progressive rockers and still is to this day. This Faded Flying V has all the features and specs of the '67 model and the look of a guitar that has been loved and cared for since those early days.
