Gibson’s Custom Shop has announced the launch of the Vintage Original Spec (or VOS) series of historic solid body guitars. Using a combination of hand craftsmanship and modern technology, Gibson luthiers intend to painstakingly reproduce each of the key elements that defined a particular guitar’s looks, playability and tone using a new, proprietary finishing process which convincingly yields the aged look and feel of a authentic vintage instrument. We can’t wait to check these out! The Vintage Original Spec series includes the following models:
