What if you married the best attributes of Gibson's classic archtops together with the innovative solid-body designs Gibson USA currently offers? Taking a cue from our past, Gibson USA mixes historic design with modern styling to come up with the ultimate hybrid Gibson, a new breed of electric guitar that offers ultimate "Tonestry." This new Gibson recipe creates a whole new level of sonic versatility, resulting in an instrument that's perfect for an amazingly wide range of musical genres. With a trimmed-down and more player friendly body size that still emulates the best of Gibson tradition, built with solid-wood construction rather than a laminated top and back, the Midtown Standard with Bigsby® truly embodies the optimum marriage of solidbody and archtop—and its twin ‘57 Classic humbuckers, top-notch hardware, and Bigsby® vibrato tailpiece are just the icing on the cake.
The popular Warwick Corvette body shape, known worldwide, features an alder body lends graceful curves and a solid foundation to provide both thundering lows and distinct highs in an instrument that is just as much fun to play as it is to look at. The Warwick bass's solid 5 mm bookmatched AAA flame maple top adds strength and insane beauty to this luscious 4-string bass guitar. The Warwick Rockbass Corvette Premium's active MEC J/J pickups are paired with active 2-way electronics to provide a wealth of tones well suited for stage or studio. The smooth maple neck is complemented by Ekanga veneer and a rosewood fingerboard for alluring looks and quality construction.
The Warwick Corvette $$ Double Buck bass guitar is similar to the other Corvette models, but distinguishes itself with unique electronics. It features 2 powerful MEC humbuckers nestled closely in the center position, completely covering the legendary sweet-spot that so many basses miss completely. This configuration gives it a powerful, solid tone with depth and clarity. To make it versatile, 2 mini 3-way switches let you choose humbucker, single-coil, and parallel or series operation. The passive pickups are matched to the MEC 2-band active preamp, making it a true passive/active hybrid. The Double Buck features a select swamp ash body, an ovangkol neck, bell brass frets, high-quality hardware, and natural or transparent color oil finishes. Note: Though the youtube-video has a 5-string bass in it, this is the 4-string edition.
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.
