Gibson The Theodore Ltd. Custom Shop Archive Collection – Cherry

Gibson The Theodore Ltd. Custom Shop Archive Collection – Cherry

Unplayed – brand new. One of 318 models made by the Custom Shop and only 106 in Red. Here is what Gibson says about it:
Before the electric guitar changed the face of music, there was Ted McCarty. Arguably the most influential president of any guitar company ever, Ted McCarty is responsible for bringing the Les Paul, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, Firebird, the SG, and more to life in his nearly two decades at Gibson. You can’t have a conversation about guitar history without Ted. On March 18th, 1957, Ted detailed and signed his drawing for a new solid body instrument which was never produced…until now. Gibson Custom Shop is proud to present the “Theodore,” inspired by Ted McCarty’s original drawing and notes. Its unique features include an alder body, scimitar headstock, double Florentine cutaways, and a walnut center strip. The lightweight, balanced construction is extremely comfortable, and the powerful P-90 pickups produce effortless sustain and a rich diversity of tones. This very special Archive Collection run is limited to just 318 total instruments offered in three colors: Natural, Cherry, and Ebony. Each includes a Historic-style brown/pink case, a premium leather strap, a print of the original signed drawing, a 1957-style catalog page print, and a deluxe Certificate of Authenticity booklet.
