Specs from Gibson:
Single layer Rosewood fingerboards with real celluloid inlays
Aniline dye
Aniline dye is a vintage woodcraft coloring material and technique that results in superior wood grain presentation and depth of color
Kluson "Deluxe" Green Keys
These "new" tuning keys are as near a replica of the original Kluson tuners as is available. They feature the proper vintage profile, color and performance specifications
Hot Hide Glue Neck-Fit and One-piece rosewood fingerboard also Hide Glued
Many argue that the original hide-glue guitars have a different tone than those with synthetic glue
Custom Bucker Pickups created in the image of the original PAFs
These are the most accurate recreation of the original 50's PAF pickups to date
Historic Truss Rod Assembly
Re-engineered truss rod, truss rod washer and anchor to their original form
Original vintage Gibsons did not have the "tubing" that surrounds the truss rod of modern Gibsons
Accurate Vintage Color Fingerboard and Body Binding
A darker cream color to match the original 50's Gibsons
Back colors have been reformulated to capture the deeper, richer tones of the original 50's Gibsons.
Original shipping box available upon reguest. Not authorized dealers so while the guitar is mint with no issues, I can't offer the factory warranty.
