Gibson Custom Trini Lopez 1964 Standard VOS Signature 60s Cherry CS HRC

A faithful 1964 reissue, blending ES tradition with Trini Lopez personality

This Gibson Custom 1964 Trini Lopez Standard Reissue revives a legendary 1964 signature model, renowned as much for its extraordinary aesthetics as for its sonic identity. Based on the semi-hollow ES spirit, it stands out with lutherie and design details that break the mold, while maintaining the historical seriousness cherished by the Custom Shop: meticulous finishes, period-accurate hardware, and a VOS patina that enhances the "collector's instrument" feel from the very first touch.

For which guitarists and styles?

This electric guitar is aimed at intermediate and expert players seeking an instrument with character, equally credible in the studio and on stage. Its semi-hollow DNA and vintage-voiced humbuckers excel in rock, blues, pop, indie, and all genres where attack, airiness, and expressive dynamic response are desired. It is especially suited for guitarists who enjoy making phrases "sing," with a dynamic and expressive touch.

The sound

Its 3-ply maple/poplar/maple construction combined with a solid maple center block provides a very musical balance: a lively semi-hollow resonance while maintaining firmness and sustain when pushed through the amp. The two Custom Bucker Alnico III (unpotted) pickups deliver a vintage, clear, lyrical, and airy tone, with excellent chord clarity and rich harmonics. Traditional electronics (2 volumes, 2 tones, 3-position selector) allow switching from a round, articulate neck sound to more biting bridge attacks, while preserving the typical "open" signature of historically inspired humbuckers.

Recommended compatible accessories

The guitar comes with a Custom Shop hard case in Black/Yellow and a certificate of authenticity. The original strings are gauge 10-46 (0.010 to 0.046), an excellent choice to maintain the balance between playing comfort, tuning stability, and vintage character.
