The new '58 Chambered is all about the woods. The good good wood! The result is...
TONE, TONE, TONE, BIG, FAT TONE and tone chambering for ”more tone” with a HUGE midrange HONK and sweet treble! She floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee. Deep within her private chambers, she toils and spins an energy of magic sounds. She has incredible sustain and range with just awesome power...Pure LP sound and absolute soul, with that to die for "woody air." Good vibrations and more with less weight for an acoustic resonance that will blow you away! Everything a Les Paul ought to be...A beauty, very soulful, very powerful and stronger than any. The frets are nice and large, for wider bends and she has a huge presence with a warm voice that will bring tears to your eyes.
She's brand new, never owned, MINT with all the goodies! And! She weighs in very light at 7.3 pounds! That's right, under 8 pounds... Unbelievable! Serial number is CR88xxx.
Includes Custom Shop case,Goodie Bag, Certificate of Authenticity, Hang Tags and more...

She has a beautiful rosewood fretboard and a sweeeeeet and sultry Antique Natural finish with that really shows off the beautiful grain of the wood, with binding that loks as though it's yellowed.
This kind of wood is not only beautiful, but it is also very resonate. Sound is captured as stress between the grain and travels as it resonates through the body adding an extra dimension of sound. Along with the "Sustain Sisters," Gibson's original design, 2 5/8" solid brass circular studs, implanted in the center block into which the Tune-O-Matic Bridge is set, brilliance and sustain are further enhanced. When a string is played, these Sustain Sisters convert the string variations to physical energy, thus activating the top to do it's thing. Classic semi-hollowbody design and dual '57 Gibson humbuckers combine to produce everything from full-bodied growls to singing sustain. The sound is awesome, warm, full bodied, clean and versatile with the ability to go from clean warm tones through to smoking distortion.

This SG Special is a Custom Shop masterpiece! Based on the historic SG of the early 60's, it's the model Pete Townshend used (and abused) exclusively on stage from 1968 until 1971, and the guitar with which he’s most famously associated. It has the 60' slim taper neck with small black pickguard, P-90 pickups and a wraparound bridge. Adding to the attractive features of the guitar, is the Gloss finish which greatly enhances the grain of the wood.
This guitar is the only guitar for down and dirty rock and roll! The P-90s really growl and bite with stinging highs, punchy mids and tight lows. Bridge position is fierce and clear with powerful and coiled crunch when gain and volume are dialed up. Great classic, raunchy tone!

SKU: GS73881
She's ALL ORIGINAL, RARE and BEAUTIFUL with a Premium ASH body and a Sienna Sunburst finish. Nearly 30 years vintage and in better than EXCELLENT SHAPE, showing a a little wear, a few nicks, a couple of dings and tarnished hardware, which only ads character to the vintage vibe. Comes with the NOHSC and tons of MOJO!
The big headstock, three-bolt neck plate, bullet truss rod and classic "F" tuners all mark the times as well as the attitude of the Rock'n Roll years! She has the original 5 way switch, 3 ply white black white pickguard and original matching 3 single coil FIRST EDITION 80'S BLACK BOBBIN pickups with flush poles. The serial number S997959 on the headstock dates to 1979 with matching serial number sticker in the neck pocket. Virgin soldier joints however, I can only read the pot codes on one of the pots (13781xx) and the neck dates to '82. All period correct for the time.
Seasoned to perfection with tone to die for, resonate and sweet with great harmonics and overtones, powerful and punchy. She screams Hendrix/SRV. She's got the high end fidelity to really scream, bite, soar and articulate. Action is light, she plays like butter. Medium frets with plenty of life left are perfect for bends. She really nails those Blues licks with more control and a bigger bite. Acoustically, she has more resonance than any. You can feel the vibration all over the entire guitar and plugged in she will BLOW YOU AWAY with incredible sustain and power.
