Gibson Memphis 2017 ES-LPC Black Beauty Electric Guitar - Guitars - Harmony Central

harmonycentral.com

The Gibson Memphis ES-LPC Black Beauty captures the vintage essence impeccably, with its aged hardware and rich, lived-in finish. Its three Memphis Historic Spec humbuckers deliver sweet, balanced tones that excel in both clean and overdriven settings, making it versatile for jazz and classic rock. The Bigsby B-6 vibrato adds a satisfying vintage flair, though it's not designed for extreme dive bombs. While the guitar's niche appeal limits its audience, it delivers high on vintage expectations, offering a near-perfect substitute for a genuine vintage model. Overall, it lives up to its high standards with exceptional sound and build quality.
