Personal Reflection
This Sixties Cherry Trini Lopez Standard Reissue is a stunning tribute to the 1964 model that combined the best of Gibson’s semi-hollow designs with unique visual flair and tonal versatility. The body retains the iconic semi-hollow maple construction with a solid center block for increased sustain and reduced feedback, making it perfect for jazz, blues, and rock alike. The mahogany neck features a comfortable rounded '60s C profile, offering smooth playability across the entire fretboard.
The Custombucker Alnico III pickups deliver an incredible tonal range, from warm, rounded cleans to biting overdriven tones, with a vintage character that’s unmistakably Gibson. The Sixties Cherry VOS finish perfectly complements the split diamond inlays and diamond-shaped F-holes, adding a retro aesthetic that’s both classy and unique. The trapeze tailpiece adds a touch of elegance while enhancing the guitar's resonance and sustain.
Ben praised the Custombuckers for their “rich, vintage tone and remarkable clarity,” and he noted that the neck profile “feels just right for rhythm and lead work alike.” The VOS treatment adds just the right amount of vintage vibe while maintaining the structural integrity of a modern build. This guitar is an outstanding blend of style, tone, and history.
