Gibson Theodore Standard - VC

From Ted McCarty’s sketchbook in 1957 to a highly limited Gibson Custom run in 2022, the space-age Theodore has finally made its way into standard production with the Gibson Theodore Standard. This guitar’s distinctive double-cut mahogany body stands apart from any other Gibson creation, sporting dual Florentine cutaways that supply effortless access to the bound Slim Taper mahogany neck’s highest reaches. Next, a rich rosewood fingerboard, complete with binding and trapezoid inlays, imparts this axe with a touch of high-class elegance — a delightful contrast to the headstock’s angular “Scimitar” shape.

You also get a time-tested Gibson ABR-1 Tune-o-matic bridge and Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners to ensure superb stability. What about the tone? True to its 1957 heritage, the Gibson Theodore Standard boasts two PAF-style 57 Classic pickups, supplying you with an incredibly rich, dynamic, and clarity-packed humbucking roar. Even back in the 1950s, Ted McCarty’s boundless imagination placed him decades ahead of the curve — the Gibson Theodore Standard is proof that we’re only now catching up to him!
