Gibson Custom 1964 Trini Lopez Standard Reissue VOS Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitar Pelham Blue
Description
The Gibson Custom 1964 Trini Lopez Standard Reissue VOS semi-hollowbody electric guitar is a faithful recreation of the coveted originals from the mid-1960s. Based on scans of Trini Lopez's personal guitar, this semi-hollowbody has an authentic vintage feel from its chunky neck profile to the trapeze tailpiece. Now you can experience what it was like to play the revolutionary instrument that inspired a generation.
Iconic semi-hollowbody design and vintage finishes
The 1964 Trini Lopez Standard Reissue VOS semi-hollowbody has the same double-cutaway maple body and mahogany neck as the original. Its rounded neck profile feels comfortable and familiar in your hands. The vintage nitrocellulose lacquer finish in '60s Cherry lovingly recreates the look of a well-played vintage instrument. Time has given this finish a distinctive patina and hue that modern polyurethane can never replicate.
Premium tonewoods for resonance and sustain
The maple top, back and sides provide clarity and articulation, while the mahogany neck adds warmth and richness. This combination of tonewoods results in an instrument with a balanced frequency response, superb note definition and singing sustain. The rosewood fingerboard offers a smooth playing surface and contributes to the warm, rounded tonality.
Powerful alnico humbucking pickups
The 1964 Trini Lopez Standard Reissue VOS is loaded with a pair of alnico humbucking pickups that provide the warm, balanced tone the original instruments were known for. The neck pickup delivers a smooth, rounded tone that is perfect for jazz and blues. Switch to the bridge pickup for a punchier sound with enhanced treble response that cuts through the mix.
Timeless trapeze tailpiece
No other tailpiece is as emblematic of the early 1960s as the trapeze. The 1964 Trini Lopez Standard Reissue VOS features the same trapeze tailpiece as the original, which produces a resonant, harmonically rich tone. The trapeze tailpiece also gives this guitar a distinctive vintage vibe that modern guitars can never quite capture.
