DISC Gibson ES-275 Custom 2018, Sunset Burst

Full Description

Lightweight Hollow Body

The Gibson ES-275 Custom guitar features a 3-ply figured maple/poplar/maple body, delivering a bright, and precise tone with a balanced response. In addition, a pair of traditional ''F'' sound holes are also included, and not only offer a classic appearance, but deliver resonance and acoustic projection. Finished with an attractive figured maple top which is complemented by the sunset burst finish, the ES-275 not only sounds great but looks extremely impressive.

Neck & Fingerboard

A C shaped neck profile is also included, which allows for fluid hand flexibility across the whole fingerboard. For added comfort the neck's binding is rounded off, offering a comfortable fit to the contours of the player's hand. Coupled with a dark rosewood fingerboard, players can achieve a warm tone with a natural feel.

Authentic Bone Nut

The Gibson ES-275 hollowbody guitar features an authentic bone nut, which offers an enhanced tone and sustain over traditional plastic and tusq nuts, and improves the vibration transfer between the string and tuning machines without dampening the tone.

MHS Humbucking Pickups

Loaded with two hand-wired MHS humbucking pickups, the Gibson ES-275 delivers a vintage style tone with an airy and biting response. Featuring unbalanced coils and Alnico II magnets with under wound design, the MHS pickups are perfect for a variety of styles and offer a detailed and articulate response. This 2018 hollowbody guitar also features orange drop capacitors and 550K matched pots, for the optimum tonal shaping.

ABR Bridge

The Gibson ES-275 guitar features an ABR-1 bridge, offering incredible string stability and a truly comfortable performance. Its high-quality construction makes it extremely reliable, holding onto the string tension while maximising the transfer of vibrations for an enhanced sustain and vintage tone.

Classic Gibson Styling

The ES-275 is decorated with a full host of classic appointments that make it instantly recognisable as a Gibson. These include amber gold speed control knobs, Grover 'milk bottle' Rotomatic tuners, multi-ply bound tortoiseshell pickguard and its elegant single cutaway design. Players will also love the classic sunset burst finish, that will stand out on any stage.

Gibson Memphis Series

Every Gibson Memphis guitar receives an ultra-precise Plek Pro setup, which optimises the fingerboard and nut for perfect action and intonation. Gibson's world-class luthiers took painstaking care with every detail of the ES-275, including fine touches like CTS pots, orange drop capacitors, gold hardware, and stunning nitrocellulose lacquer finish. These finishing touches add to the amazing tone and vibe of this incredible guitar, living up to the ES Series' legacy.
