The Johnny A. Signature model combines several innovative design aspects with loads of vintage Gibson appointments. The completely hollow body features contoured outer surfaces but a flat inner back, resulting in less feedback and bright, snappy response.

The Gibson 50th Anniversary ES335 Electric Guitar pays tribute to the guitar that gained instant success when it was introduced in 1958. With its arched top and f-holes, the ES335 bore recognizable links to its lineage, but a quick check inside its double-cutaway thinline body with solid center block revealed it as a brave new design. More subtle in its advancement of the template, it was in many ways no less revolutionary, and also more acceptable to players who were hesitant to strut too far ahead of the pack. The new ES335 had the advantage of possessing some of the familiar ES features, and in particular was only a few steps away from thinline hollowbody models like the Byrdland and ES350T of 1955, but that chunk of maple that ran down its middle to render it a semi-acoustic made a world of difference to its performance.

The SG Custom replaced the single cutaway Les Paul Custom in 1961. With three "Patent Applied For" humbuckers, gold hardware, multiple binding, and an ebony fretboard to go along with the new thinline body, the SG Custom maintained the standard of elegance set by the original Les Paul Custom. Now part of Gibson's proprietary new Vintage Original Spec series -- the next step in their journey toward perfection.

Even though Gibson had orginally created the laminated top ES-175 in 1948 to fill the need for an electric version of the acoustic, carved top L-4C, the demand still existed for an electric L-4 with a fully carved top. In the late 1950's Gibson answered this call by releasing small runs of variously configured L-4CES guitars:some with Charlie Christian pickups, some with Alnico pickups, and some with humbuckers. For today's player, the Custom Collection offers the L-4CES in its final incarnation.
