You may have seen it on Gibson.com for a while, but Gibson Custom’s new Modern Double Cut Standard likely deserves a news alert of its own. In a press release, Gibson Custom says:

“The Modern Double Cut Standard from Gibson Custom combines new thinking and proven design in one beautifully crafted guitar.

“Features include a first-of-its-kind swept neck heel that allows easy access to all 24 frets, an extra-long neck tenon to maximize sustain, a sleek new Apex headstock carve for strength and durability and a perfectly-balanced, contoured double-cutaway profile.

“All of this adds up to a bold new Gibson Custom instrument destined to become a player favorite.”

There is no weight relief on the heavily-contoured mahogany/maple top body, it has Grover kidney tuners and Classic 57 pickups. The guitar comes in six nitrocellulose lacquer finishes: Bullion Gold, Metallic Alien Green, Candy Apple Red, Ebony, Heritage Cherry Sunburst and Sterling Fade.
