Designed in 1957 alongside the Flying V and Moderne, the Futura was never mass-produced. This Gibson Custom reissue captures the aesthetic and technical codes of the rare prototypes: futuristic angular lines, "split V" headstock, and Antique Natural finish. It sits at the top of the Custom Shop range, intended for collectors as well as discerning guitarists seeking authenticity.
Ideal for experienced guitarists and collectors, it excels in rock, energetic blues, and classic hard/metal. The neck with a "50s Vintage" profile and Indian rosewood fretboard offers a substantial yet smooth feel, perfect for powerful rhythm playing as well as singing leads.
The unwaxed Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups deliver a meaty midrange, airy highs, and a nice depth of lows, with the responsiveness and complexity of a vintage "PAF" set. The lightweight aluminum ABR-1 No-Wire bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece optimize attack and sustain. CTS 500k "Vintage Taper" potentiometers, unique tone control, and hand-wired circuitry ensure sonic openness and precise control, from organic crunch to denser overdrive.
- Strings: nickel set 10?46 (or 9?46) perfectly suited to the 24.75" / 628.65 mm scale length.
- Strap: standard leather or nylon strap (traditional strap buttons).
- Cable: quality 6.35 mm jack cable (3 to 6 m) to preserve humbuckers? signal.
- Maintenance: microfiber cloth and scratch remover/cleaner compatible with nitrocellulose lacquer.
