Spot on Spotlight

This guitar was released in around 2007 with less than 200 made in the custom shop of Gibson. The guitar mimic's the older 'Spotlight Special' from the early 80's.

This one does have that walnut stripe right where the pickups are and some say that this will affect the tone adversely but I don't think so. I can tell you it sounds pretty much like a Les Paul Standard of the last 15 to 25 years build - pretty much as it should sound in fact. So that wooden walnut bit does not appear to make much difference (if any) to the sound. To me, it's just a way of decorating this guitar and making it look just that bit more special than the plethora of the run of the mill guitars out there of the Les Paul Standard style. I think the natural top really makes this thing look great as well as sound great. Because it is near enough built from a tried and tested design then you basically get what it says on the can.

I have used this guitar on the 2016 album released by myself and Alan Bruce called 'Gravity Waves' and it has always performed exactly as I need it to. Gibson tones are everywhere. The neck is reminiscent of a 62 type of design from Gibson.
