Designed alongside the Flying V and Futura (future Explorer), the Moderne has remained Gibson?s most fascinating enigma: mentioned, sketched, rarely seen, never authenticated. This "Mahogany 1957" Custom Shop reissue finally brings the legend to life, with faithful luthiery, a vintage-style VOS nitrocellulose finish, and aesthetic details that look straight out of 1957.
Ideal for experienced musicians and collectors seeking a rare instrument, the Moderne shines in rock, blues, vintage hard rock, and alternative genres. Its 50s neck ergonomics and intuitive playability make it a studio and stage companion for guitarists looking for strong character and a unique visual identity.
The combination of mahogany body and neck delivers dense mids, a full-bodied low end, and silky highs. The unpotted Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups reproduce the attack and breathing of the original PAFs: organic tone, dynamic response to playing, and controlled microphonics conducive to expressiveness. The CTS 500k potentiometers preserve high-frequency openness, while the ABR-1 + Stop Bar duo ensures excellent vibration transfer for long sustain and precise touch. The result is a guitar that is vintage at heart yet surprisingly versatile.
To get the most out of this nitrocellulose-finished guitar, choose: 6-string electric guitar strings (common gauges 09?42 or 10?46), a quality 6.35 mm instrument cable, a leather or nylon strap with classic attachments, a "nitro-safe" stand/support, and microfiber cloth plus nitro-compatible care products. The included Lifton hard case protects the Moderne shape during transport.
