Vintage 1980 Gibson S-1 Walnut Solid Body Electric Guitar

Own a unique piece of Gibson history. Introduced to challenge the single-coil market, the Gibson S-1 offers an incredibly versatile tonal palette that sets it apart from traditional Gibson humbucker models. This 1980 example is perfect for players, collectors, and tone chasers looking for a distinct vintage vibe. The heart of the S-1 lies in its brilliant pickup configuration. Designed by Bill Lawrence, these single-coils deliver crisp highs, punchy mids, and a distinct twang. The multi-position switching layout allows you to run combinations in series or parallel, successfully mimicking both classic single-coil chime and fat humbucker-like drive.
