Description
The Gibson Custom Shop has a longstanding tradition of reissuing specific models of 1950’s and ‘60s electric guitars. The Music Zoo has a longstanding tradition of taking our favorite features of specific models and combining them to make something new and different. Combine the fine craftsmanship of the Gibson Custom Shop and our Music Zoo tweaker tendencies and we present the Zoo Select series. One-off ideas of ours created by the Gibson Custom Shop to our specifications, whether it is a custom neck profile, a specific burst over a certain type of top wood, or a unique pickup combination. After all, the Gibson Custom Shop is in fact – a custom shop.
With this piece, we decided to go with a unique gold finish over a figured maple top which we’ve dubbed Champagne Burst, and a natural back and neck to showcase the grain of the mahogany – but let’s not forget the gold stinger headstock! The champagne finish fades out in the middle of the top to let some figuring show through, a very cool appearance that you don’t see on many other guitars.
