As it celebrates 130 years of music history,�Gibson,�the iconic global instrument brand, has shaped sound across generations and genres�of music for over a century, becoming one of the most relevant, played,�and�loved music brands around the world.
Developed from original drawings discovered in the�Gibson Archives, the�Gibson Theodore Standard�is based on a guitar design sketched in 1957 and was only previously available as a limited edition�Gibson Custom�model that quickly sold out in 2022 as part of the�Gibson Archive Collection.
Today,�67 years later, Gibson�is proud to introduce the�Theodore Standard, now available as a global wide release at�authorized Gibson dealers�and via�www.gibson.com.
It�s not every day that�Gibson�releases a new body shape. Inspired by original drawings from 1957-during the same era when the legendary�ES-335, Flying V�, and Explorer��models were designed to modernize the�Gibson�product lineup-the�Gibson Theodore Standard�features a�mahogany body, scimitar headstock�with�Grover� Mini Rotomatic� tuners, and�striking double Florentine cutaways�that�provide unimpeded access to all 22 frets�on the�rosewood-capped, SlimTaper� mahogany neck.�
The balanced construction is exceptionally comfortable,�and the�powerful �57 Classic��and��57 Classic Plus humbucker� pickups produce effortless sustain and a rich diversity of tones.�
While it was sketched in the 1950s, the�Gibson Theodore Standard�is fresh and modern today, and the instrument�s�light weight, balance, and comfort make it a joy to play. The�Gibson Theodore Standard�is available worldwide in�Antique Natural, Vintage Cherry,�and�Ebony. A hardll case is also included.
