The Vintage Original Spec (VOS) series is the latest step on Gibson's journey toward perfection. When you pick up a VOS guitar, you will experience the culmination of more than 20 years of effort to give you the look, feel, and sound of a $300,000 original. They started with playability and their revolutionary process ensures precise fret work and a perfectly cut nut on every guitar. Frets are leveled, shaped, and crowned to exacting specifications - unique to each individual instrument - and will extend a bit further towards the binding, giving you more surface area. The nut is carefully hand-shaped to give it a more rounded, vintage look. The feel of the neck is just like it ought to be. With a rolled fingerboard binding, you will experience an incredibly comfortable feel. Using a proprietary process that includes unique steps for staining, wet-sanding, and hand-rubbing gives the guitar the look and feel of a well cared for 50-year-old Standard. The hardware also goes through a new proprietary process, giving it the look you'd expect to see after decades of natural oxidation. And finally, the edges of the neck heel and peghead are softened, lending the guitar a gently worn-in appearance and comfort. You will experience an instrument that faithfully recreates the most sought-after classics - down to the smallest details.Features include: 1-piece, solid mahogany back Historically accurate neck tenon for superior sustain Bumblebee capacitors Historically accurate reproductions of original PAF humbuckers Tortoise dot markers on the side of the neck ABR-1 bridge and lightweight aluminum stopbar tailpiece Holly headstock veneer Period-correct stain and filler 100% nitro-cellulose lacquer finishe with no added plasticizers Ice Tea finishThis guitar is ALL ORIGINAL, 100% MINT, a collectors prize and a players dream.
