Gibson Longhorn Double Cut Electric Guitar – July Guitar of the Month

Gibson is featuring a unique guitar each month during 2008 and is highlighting the Gibson Longhorn Double Cut Electric Guitar with Trans Blue Finish during July. The Longhorn guitar was produced in a limited run of 1,000 instruments.

The Gibson Longhorn Double Cut Guitar has a unique body style that incorporates slightly extended, asymmetrical cutaways on a solid piece of mahogany with an AA figured maple top. The special-design L.R. Baggs piezo pickup beneath the Tune-O-Matic bridge combined with two EMG-85 active humbuckers housed in the bridge and neck offer an extended range of tonal options. Separate pickup outputs enable guitarists to use the pickups individually or blend their sounds. The Longhorn has a 1950s-era rounded mahogany neck, traditional headstock, and flowerpot inlays on the headstock that date back to Gibson’s guitars, mandolins, and archtops of the early 1900s.
