Description

Here’s something you don’t see every day, an all original 1967 Gibson Trini Lopez model in Black! In 1963, Les Paul’s endorsement contract with Gibson expired, and Gibson was desperate for new popular artists to use their guitars and be seen with them. Before signing Lopez, Gibson signed on artists Johnny Smith, Barney Kessel, and Tal Farlow, and produced signature guitars for each. Riding high after his 1963 hit record Trini Lopez at PJ’s, Gibson approach the Texan to create his own signature guitar. An ES-335 body served as the foundation, with a non-reverse Firebird neck completing the look. The most iconic part of this guitar would have to be the bound diamond sound holes, and split diamond fret board inlays. The jumbo frets help make this a fantastic player! Grovers were installed on this guitar at some point, but the original tuners were professionally re-installed, with no visible signs. 

It weighs in at 7 lbs 10 oz, and comes with original hardshell case.
