ES-Les Paul P-90 VOS
A Modern Solid-Semi Metamorphosis With Vintage '50s Features
n/a
In a perfect marriage of the Les Paul and ES-335, this single-cut semi takes on early '50s VOS Goldtop finish and snarling P-90 pickups, plus a bone nut, rolled neck binding, and Historic truss rod.
F-Hole emblem engraved truss rod cover
The iconic symbol of the Gibson ES line is now the hallmark of Gibson Memphis.
Redesigned neck dimensions
Added thickness to Peghead transition provides greater strength and stability.
Historic truss rod
Superior Adjustability due to the Teflon coating, larger diameter rod, original brass anchor and larger washer.
Bone nut
Bone for smooth tuning and excellent durability.
Rolled neck binding
Binding is rounded off to comfortably fit the contours of the player's hand.
New finish colors
New variations on your favorite vintage color schemes as well as all new, eye catching colors.
Capacitor changes
Less treble cut than previous capacitor results in a tone with a harmonically rich, singing quality.
P-90 Pickups
Vintage-wound fat single coils for a thick yet articulate tone.
New for 2015
