Gibson Guitar of the Month

	SG Diablo - February The SG Diablo offers a refined approach to the classic guitar that has been offering up scorching leads and heavy chords for over four decades. The top and back are carved from solid mahogany for thick, warm tones that are signature SG with special accent placed on the contour of the SG's distinct lines, lending an almost 3-dimensional look to the Diablo. SOLD OUT!
	Commemorative 50th Anniversary Flying V - March Ahead of its time in 1958, but soon declared an instant classic, the Commemorative 50th Anniversary Flying V celebrates a half-century of a great instrument that's still as vital as ever! From the quality maple top to the gold hardware and special appointments, this guitar more than lives up to its billing. SOLD OUT!
	LP-295 - April Taking the best features of a Goldtop and adding humbuckers, a Bigsby tailpiece, and a very cool Florentine cutaway borrowed from classic guitars like the ES-295, the LP-295 is a merging of two classic axes. The pickguard sports a hand-painted floral design. With touches from Gibson greats from the past, the LP-295 is destined to be an instant classic! SOLD OUT!
	Les Paul Push-Tone - May The Les Paul began life with a pair of P-90s and eventually migrated to a dual-humbucker design. Now you can pick your favorite Paul tone - or combination of the two - by simply popping the pickups out. Shipping with a pair of Burstbuckers and a pair of humbucker-sized P-90s (P-94s), the Push-Tone is a true tonal innovation!
	Shred-X Explorer - June The Explorer is already famous among shredders for fast, furious riffing and face-melting chords, and the Shred-X takes the Explorer to new metal-tastic heights. Sporting a black chrome Kahler 2215K Tremolo, sleek ebony finish, and EMG 85 pickups, this beast is primed for metal mayhem! SOLD OUT!
	Longhorn Double Cut - July A departure from traditional Gibson designs, the Longhorn Double Cut represents a new body style with asymmetrical cutaways. There are aspects of the Longhorn that are pure Gibson through and through - AA maple top on top of solid mahogany for the body, for instance - but a pair of EMG 85 pickups and an LR Baggs piezo pickup show Gibson isn't afraid to think outside the box. SOLD OUT!
	Shred-V - August Like its built-for-metal cousin, the Shred-X, the Shred-V takes a fresh look at another proven metal classic, the Flying V. Sporting the same pickup and tremolo combination as the Shred-X, the Shred-V brings sonic destruction to all those in its path. Rest assured, this metal monster sounds as mean as it looks!
	Reverse Explorer - September Following the success of the Reverse Flying V, the Reverse Explorer defines Gibson's commitment to the past while looking decidedly forward. Along with the unique reverse body style - wrapped in an Antique Walnut finish and crowned with gold hardware - the Reverse Explorer sports a cool retro-style logo pulled from the drawings of former Gibson president and guitar innovator Ted McCarty.
	Commemorative 50th Anniversary Explorer - October The Explorer shocked the guitar world in 1958 with its unconventional pointy design. Not widely accepted at first, the Explorer eventually found favor with guitarists of all genres. The Commemorative 50th Anniversary Explorer celebrates this angular beauty with a retro logo and gold hardware and a special edition Brimstone Burst finish.
	Longhorn Double Cut - November This is the new Longhorn Double Cut in a stunning Honey Sunburst finish. Like its predecessor, this Longhorn is equipped with EMG 85 pickups and an LR Baggs piezo system for a huge variety of tones. Cool touches like the early-1900s flowerpot headstock inlay simply add to the cool factor.
	SG Diablo - December Usher in winter with this special SG Diablo, shrouded in an icy Metallic Silver finish. Cool finish aside, this SG means business, boasting a pair of Burstbucker pickups and a mahogany body for tons of tone and great sustain. Like the earlier SG Diablo, the body is carved for an ultra-cool effect. The Diablo is an elegant SG with bite!
	Holy V - January 2009 The Holy V is just that - a Flying V with strategic chunks removed for aesthetic effect. Everything you'd expect from a V is here - including the mahogany body and neck and warm, thick tone courtesy a '57 Classic humbucker - but the headstock is loaded with Steinberger gearless tuners, and the neck boasts two extra frets while maintaining the 24.75-inch scale length. This is a lightweight V with heavy tone!
