A Gibson Acoustic That Embraces Modern Style
The Gibson Acoustic HP 665 SB's slim 3.5" body depth ensures a comfortable playing experience, but there's nothing slim about the way it sounds. Lurking inside the HP 665 SB's compact frame is the full-bodied tone of a Jumbo waiting to spring forth. Playing this guitar is effortless, thanks to the silky smooth action provided by the advanced response neck, which is topped by a 16"-radius Richlite fingerboard. A belly-down bridge and modern pickguard shape set the HP 665 SB apart from vintage models. LR Baggs Element electronics make the Gibson Acoustic HP 665 SB acoustic-electric guitar a worthy onstage companion.

This system features a low-profile under-saddle transducer that's more stable and durable than many standard ribbon-type pickups. Unnecessary internal components have been removed, enhancing the coupling between the pickup and the guitar and improving the sensitivity of the transducer. The result is a robust, lively, and natural acoustic sound. With an unobtrusive volume control mounted just inside the soundhole, the Element gives your HP 665 SB the amplification you need, with zero compromises in tone or convenience.
