Gibson Acoustic 2017 HP 665 SB (Antique Natural) Overview
Gibson Acoustic 2017 HP 665 SB Overview by GAK:
A small body design with no compromise in tone! Gibson Acoustic has a long history of pioneering small-body acoustic guitar designs. The new 2017 HP 665 SB is an innovative, next evolution of what a small-body cutaway instrument should sound like. Never before has a slim, small-body, with a cutaway offered such a giant sound, excellent playability, and distinctive styling all in one package. Some key features include:
New Body Design: The newly designed body depth adds comfort and responds wonderfully to all the nuances of different playing styles. The cutaway allows for full access to the fingerboard.
Neck Profile: The new flatter fingerboard radius allows for easy string bending anywhere on the neck. Gibson took this one step further, by designing and engineering a brand new neck profile- the Advanced Response Neck, unleashing each player's full potential!
Pickguard: A brand new High Performance shape tortoise pickguard.
Tuners: Grover Mini Gold tuners crown the peghead.
Pickup: An LR Baggs™ VTC pickup system delivers easy plug and play plus a sound hole mounted volume and tone control.
Tonewoods: The HP 665 SB offers a Sitka spruce top paired with the enhanced tone and look of rosewood back and sides.
Inlay: Mother-of-pearl position markers detail the Richlite fingerboard.
Fingerboard and bridge: Dense Richlite is used for the fingerbord and bridge.
Nut and Saddle: A Tusq nut and saddle provide consistent tone, string balance as well as precise string spacing.
Fitted Gibson Aocoustic hardshell case included.
