I hope you all find it as stunning as I do. If so, it's very debatable.Īnyway, I came across this wonderful-looking guitar yesterday and had to ask myself, "Why don't I own one of these yet?" Well, if you read the link and see the asking price, I think you'll know why. Bottom line, I don't think you can find a car that beats it for the same price. Today, it continues to challenge the competition in performance, price, and ingenuity. The Corvette was introduced in 1953 and was America's original sports car. Out of all of the cars GM has made over the years, I find one of them to be a staple for the whole industry the Corvette. When it comes to cars though, I'm a die-hard American car lover, especially when it comes to models made by GM. I went to college for it, have quite a number of licenses and certifications, and I work as a buyer for an automotive wholesaler. Later that year Gibson Custom commemorated the '63 Corvette Sting Ray on an SG-style guitar, with the top of the guitar fashioned like the split rear window design of the car.Īdditional features of the 50th Anniversary Corvette guitar include: a modified Les Paul Double-Cutaway carved-top body style, special strings-through-body design, two P-90 single-coil pickups and a custom wall display cabinet.Not many of you know this, but my life revolves around cars just as much (if not more) than guitars.
Gibson guitars and Corvettes first came together on a Custom Shop model on the Les Paul '60 Corvette, which was introduced in 1995 and featured authentic colours from 1960 Corvettes. The guitar finish matches the automobile's metallic 50th Anniversary Red finish and its vinyl case matches the 50th Anniversary Shale interior colour. Additional features include the Corvette emblem inlaid in the fingerboard, the 50th Anniversary badge from the car's fender and VIN-style serial numbers. The top itself is rounded to match the automobile's shape. The top of Gibson's Les Paul 50th Anniversary Corvette is custom-carved to re-create the Corvette's familiar side body vent. The Gibson Les Paul 50th Anniversary Corvette, scheduled for a limited run of 50 instruments, incorporates key design features of the 2003 model, which the automotive press has called "The most magnetic Corvette ever."
Gibson Guitar's Custom Division has brought together two American cultural icons - the Les Paul guitar and the Chevrolet Corvette - in a new guitar that commemorates the 50th Anniversary of the classic automobile.
