Indian Rosewood

Gibson Les Paul Model Gold Top, 1952

On February 14, 2022 /

In 1952, the Gibson Les Paul Model made its first appearance as a single cutaway, solid body guitar with the now-standard combination of a carved Maple cap on a Mahogany body, with a Mahogany neck and Rosewood fingerboard. The available finish was a metallic gold top with clear lacquer over the rest of the guitar. The earliest models had an un-bound fingerboard, but this quickly changed to a bound fingerboard. At the time, ‘Rosewood’ came from Brazil.

The Suhr Modern T Pro delivers a solid evolutionary step in T-style guitars, with 24 stainless steel frets, locking tuners and a Gotoh 510 trem bridge. The Modern T Pro uses African Okume (Aucoumea klaineana) for the body and neck and a flamed, bookmatched maple cap. The fingerboard is Indian Rosewood.

Gibson Les Paul Triumph Bass Natural, 1973

On February 10, 2022 /

A wonderful rarity – a Gibson Les Paul Triumph Bass in natural finish! Introduced in 1971, the Triumph bass followed closely the Les Paul Bass, introduced in 1969. The construction of the Gibson Les Paul Triumph bass is perhaps closest to the original Les Paul Custom, in that aside from the fingerboard, it’s entirely Mahogany including the carved top. No Maple cap! However, that’s where the similarities end, as the Les Paul and Triumph basses have low-impedance pickups and extra controls.

Gibson ES-165 Herb Ellis ‘Roadworn’ Sunburst, 2004

On February 9, 2022 /

Built from 1991 to 2011, the Gibson ES-165 Herb Ellis draws from the classic workhorse ES-175, but with a single neck-mount ‘floating’ pickup; some variations used a top-mount humbucker. The Herb Ellis Plus used a pair of traditional full-sized, top-mount humbuckers.

Gibson J185 Original Jumbo Steel String Antique Natural, 2005

On February 7, 2022 /

Here we have a Gibson J185 Original Jumbo bodied steel string in Antique Natural finish, built during 2005 at the Gibson Acoustic plant in Bozeman, Montana. The J-185 is a very good but likely under-appreciated guitar, being overshadowed by the better known and slightly larger J-200. The Gibson J185 and J200 have many similarities and the key differences are not always seen at first glance. Both feature the Jumbo body shape, Sitka Spruce top with Figured Maple for the sides and back, and Rosewood for the fingerboard and bridge.
