Whether live or on CD Metallica is pure adrenaline and the new signature bass Warwick built for their master of bass, Robert Trujillo, is equally powerful. Laying the sonic foundation for one of the greatest Heavy Metal acts ever is no mean feat, so Robert teamed up with Warwick to create a bass that would be up to the challenge. Make no mistake, this bass is for heavy hitters. Even the fastest licks and heaviest chords, for which Rob is notorious, are clear and powerful. Rob especially likes the comfort and the sleek design of the body which makes you become one with the resonance of the instrument. Being part of Metallica is not just another gig. As a result, the Robert Trujillo Signature bass is not just another bass, but rather some kind of monster; it is as powerful, authoritative and inspired as the man for whom Warwick built it.

Gibson USA presents the Les Paul Traditional 1960, a guitar with the look, specs, and tone of the instruments that laid the very foundations of rock. Available in two great hand-sprayed nitrocellulose finishes—Tea Burst and Ebony Black—it's a guitar that brings the great Les Paul roaring forward to the 21st century. The Les Paul Traditional 1960 is crafted with all the classic ingredients that helped to make this model a legend. A carved maple top (Grade-A on the translucent Tea Burst models) contributes clarity and sustain, while a mahogany body adds depth and richness, and is subtly chambered to enhance resonance and reduce weight. A solid one-piece mahogany neck is glued in with a traditional mortis & tenon joint, and carved in the popular SlimTaper™ profile that first helped to make Les Pauls the fastest players on earth back in 1960. Topped with a baked maple fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets, with a 12" radius for each choke-free bending, the neck culminates in a headstock with the preferred 17-degree backward pitch for improved string pressure in the PLEK-cut Corian nut.

Introduced more than a half-century ago, the Gibson SG Standard achieved legendary status almost from the moment it hit the scene in 1961. This sleek double-cutaway rocker had a slim, light body but no shortage of power and sustain, and the kind of fast playability that the guitar world had not previously experienced. Originally introduced as a replacement for the single-cutaway Les Paul, the SG held firm even after the LP's return in the late '60s, and has retained its iconic status with rock and blues players ever since, while displaying its versatility by making inroads into virtually all other types of amplified music. To pay homage to the original image of the 1961 SG Standard, Gibson introduces the SG '61 Reissue Satin, a guitar that packs all the most desirable features of vintage SGs, with a great "satin" finish that gives it the look and feel of a well-aged classic, in your choice of Worn Cherry, Worn Brown or Satin Ebony, all in hand-sprayed nitrocellulose lacquer.
