‘Gibson Custom Shop has made exceptional strides and gone to painstaking lengths to improve upon their wonderful Historic reissues. In 2015, improving upon their legendary Historic line, the Gibson Custom Shop has achieved obsessive detail and accuracy by studying the materials, manufacturing techniques and specifications of original vintage instruments.
From new plastics composed of the original vintage spec material, to the double carving of tops and necks to ensure vintage accurate profiles and dishing, these True Historic reissues are about as close as it get’s to owning a real vintage instrument. A new finish process with time-intensive wet sanding by hand completes the package, delivering an instrument that not only looks authentic, but feels and sounds so too. Capped off with all hide glue construction and extensive setup process, the new True Historic line captures the essence of our favourite vintage pieces and creates a new era of golden age instruments just waiting to be discovered.
This guitar has been produced on request with a special finish and technically is an “Historic Select” which isn’t different in any detail from the True Historic version. The only difference is in the serial number, which has an “HS” before the number itself. This shows that this guitar wasn’t part of the limited quantity initially produced as True Historic.’
