1978 Gibson S-1 - Natural

This 1978 Gibson S-1 is a great example of one of the most unique designs from Gibson's Norlin era. Built to compete in the single-coil market, the S-1 pairs a contoured single-cut body with a bolt-on, 3-piece maple neck. The core tone comes from three "see-thru" single-coil pickups designed by Bill Lawrence, controlled by a factory 4-way rotary selector and a bridge-bypass toggle switch.

This specific guitar features two notable modifications: a replacement set of Gotoh sealed tuners, and an additional aftermarket mini-toggle switch. This mod acts as a custom phase switch, giving you even more tonal options than the stock setup. This is a versatile, stage-ready vintage guitar! It includes a non-original hardshell case.
