Gibson Longhorn Double Cutaway Guitar,
The Gibson Longhorn Double Cut Electric Guitar is Gibson's newest body design consisting of slightly extended, asymmetrical cutaways on a solid piece of mahogany topped with a AA figured Maple top. White three-ply binding around the body and a traditional headstock add both beauty and protection to this model. And the improvements don't end there. A specially designed L.R. Baggs piezo pickup has been added underneath the Tune-o-matic bridge to deliver outstanding acoustic simulation.
Each Longhorn Double Cut guitar features a pair of EMG 85 active humbuckers deliver tone, power, and performance for any style of music, while a new two-jack input from L.R. Baggs offers separate outputs for both the piezo and the humbuckers. This gives players the option of either blending the two sounds or playing the individually, thus allowing guitarists all types of sonic possibilities. The neck is one-piece mahogany with Gibson's traditional '50s rounded profile, topped by an ebony fingerboard with white acrylic small-block fretboard inlays created especially for the Longhorn. Also in keeping with tradition is the headstock's Flowerpot inlay, which dates back to the early 1900's and several of Gibson's historic mandolins and archtops. The new Gibson USA Longhorn is available only in a Transparent Blue finish. Production is limited to just 1,000 instruments.
