1966 Gibson Trini Lopez Standard with a rare wide 42mm nut. It's in very good condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. It was previously fitted with different tuners, the original tuners are now back on.
The Trini model was first offered in '64 and features distinct diamond-shaped F holes, split-diamond inlays, and a Firebird style headstock to set it apart from the ES-335. The one-piece mahogany neck has a round medium C-shaped profile. Unique to this particular example is the 66 serialisation, 65 pots and the wide neck, usually seen in pre mid 1965 models.
The body features a beautiful cherry red finish and the cream binding is in very good shape front and back. There is light lacquer checking in the finish along with a few small scuffs and dings, mainly around the edges of the body, along the back of the back and on the headstock. There are no breaks/cracks or repairs and everything remains structurally sound. The original frets are in excellent condition having been cleaned and dressed in our workshop. All hardware & electronics are in excellent working order.
This guitar has been fully checked over & set up in our workshop and is an all-round excellent sounding and playing guitar. Set up with a low action allowing for very smooth movement around the fretboard. It has a big rich tone both plugged in and acoustically. Nut width: 42 mm. Depth at 1st fret: 20.4mm. Serial:430163. Weight: 8 lbs 5 oz. The pots date to 1965.
