Discover the Gibson Longhorn Double Cut, a bold statement in the world of electric guitars and a proud member of Gibson's exclusive Guitar of the Month collection from 2008. This unique instrument blends the classic Gibson craftsmanship with a modern twist, featuring slightly extended, asymmetrical cutaways that redefine the traditional body style. The Longhorn showcases a striking combination of a AA figured maple top and a solid mahogany back, delivering both visual appeal and tonal excellence.

Equipped with EMG 85 active humbuckers, this guitar offers a rich, powerful sound that effortlessly spans genres, from blues to heavy metal. The genius of the Longhorn's design is further enhanced by the inclusion of a specially designed L.R. Baggs piezo pickup, nestled under the Tune-o-Matic bridge, allowing for stunning acoustic simulation. With a dual output system, players can choose to blend the piezo with the humbuckers or use them separately, unlocking a plethora of sonic possibilities.

The Longhorn's neck is crafted from one-piece mahogany, featuring a '60s slim taper profile for comfortable playability. Topped with an ebony fingerboard adorned with unique small-block inlays and an elegant flowerpot headstock inlay, this guitar is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the ears. Limited to just 1,000 pieces, the Gibson Longhorn Double Cut is not just an instrument, but a collector's piece.
