Gibson Custom Shop Theodore – Natural
Used! Just in on Consignment
Limited Edition Electric Guitar
Inspired by Original Drawings From 1957!
Used! Just in on consignment! During the 1950s and early 1960s, Gibson’s legendary former president Theodore ‘Ted’ McCarty helped develop some of the most iconic electric guitars ever produced, including the Les Paul, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, SG, and Firebird models. He enjoyed sketching new instrument ideas, and the height of his creative output was in 1957 when he sought to modernize Gibson’s electric guitar designs.
On March 18th, 1957, Ted detailed and signed his drawing for a new solid body instrument which was never produced…until now. The 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. This particular guitar is Natural and 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. Like all our used/vintage gear it has been tested for functionality and priced to move. Sold as-is. What you see it what you get. FEATHERWEIGHT – Only 6.4 lbs.
