NAMM 2024: Gibson has given four of its top-selling acoustic guitars a deluxe Custom Shop refresh, with the Ebony Series J-45, Hummingbird, SE Songwriter and SJ-200 all resplendent in the finery more commonly found on the Les Paul Custom.
We’re talking Ebony nitro finishes, multi-ply binding on the bodies and Les Paul-style headstocks, mother of pearl block inlays on ebony fingerboards, and split-diamond logos on the pegheads. And what would a Custom be without a dash of bling from the gold Grover Rotomatics with kidney bean-style buttons? It’s all there, and they wear it well.
