Description
A faithful recreation of the unmistakable & truly unique Trini Lopez model Gibson first produced over 60 years ago. This lovely semi-hollow body has been painstakingly vintage-spec'd to make it almost indistinguishable from a genuine '64 model. The luthiers in Gibson's Custom Shop meticulously scanned, measured & studied every aspect of the original Trini Lopez Standard to create a top-notch, period-correct reproduction. Sporting iconic diamond f-holes & Firebird-style headstock shape, this gorgeous example looks & feels just like a golden era Gibson. The semi-chunky neck feels comfortable anywhere on the fretboard & the pair of Custombucker Alnico III humbuckers deliver rich, robust tones. Professionally set up with fresh strings & low action so it plays & sounds terrific!
