Return of a Legend
From its chunky ’64-profile neck to its unique trapeze tailpiece, the Gibson Custom 1964 Trini Lopez Standard Reissue VOS delivers the authentic tone, looks, and feel of Trini’s original (and highly collectible) signature guitar. In the design of this amazing semi-hollowbody electric guitar, Gibson’s elite Custom Shop luthiers exhaustively poured through scans and blueprints of the coveted originals to give you an instrument, as a ’60s Gibson advert stated, “… as exciting as the young performer who helped create it.” A laminated Maple body with elongated diamond soundholes and a satin ebony nitro finish, paired with a Mahogany set neck rocking a non-reverse Firebird headstock design, give this axe serious stage and studio cred, while its dual Custombucker pickups serve up a veritable smorgasbord of tone.

Custombuckers deliver legendary tone
The Custom Shop Custombucker pickups in the 1964 Trini Lopez Standard Reissue VOS are catnip for tube amplifiers. Each with its own volume and tone controls, these unpotted pickups will let you nail warm, full-bodied jazz licks as easily as you can dial in searing rock tones. The Alnico III magnets give you classic hollowbody-style tones for everything from chimey cleans to heavy overdrive. And handwired with CTS audio taper pots and paper-in-oil capacitors, you’ll have nearly endless tone-shaping control at your fingertips. Guitarists at Sweetwater love these pickups. So will you.
Vintage Original Sheen finish, for the look and feel of a classic

The VOS finish package includes lightly aged parts that imparts an authentic vintage patina.
