Reintroduced in the early '70s, this 1973 Gibson J-55 is a square shoulder dreadnought creating a combination of great tonal balance and projection. The body features mahogany back and sides with a spruce top and double-x bracing. The mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard are carved to facilitate ease of playability and a slender profile.  This guitar features it's original Grover tuners, pearl dot markers, and mother of pearl Gibson logo on the head-stock.  The binding on the rear of the guitar has been replaced because of shrinkage, common to most of these older Gibson flattops. It sounds incredible and the hand rubbed original lacquer finish shows minute lacquer checking, like all good guitars from that era.  It has the look and feel of a well loved and used instrument in good condition.

Guitar virtuoso Nick Johnston's personal preferences directed the design of the Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HSS, optimizing it for fast, technical playability. Equipped with a rock-solid roasted maple neck with Thin "C" neck profile, a 14-inch-radius ebony fretboard, and extra-jumbo frets, it's immediately apparent that this is an instrument built for precision. And while its playability is sure to appeal to rock and metal players, its HSS pickup configuration with two Nick Johnston single-coil pickups yields a universe of tonal textures to explore. Complete with a vintage-style tremolo for expressive bends and dives, and a Graph Tech XL Black TUSQ nut to make sure the tremolo action is as smooth as can be, you'll be amazed at the Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HSS guitar's ability to respond to any creative impulse you may have.

In 2018 Paul Reed Smith released John Mayer's Signature guitar, the Silver Sky.  It was designed and manufactured in the Core Product category, and it immediately took the music world by storm.  They set out to recreate the feeling of vintage instruments with updated hardware components more suited for today's player. Every inch of this classically inspired recreation is improved in design and function and the hardware has been redesigned with quality, ergonomics and functionality in mind as well. 

John wanted to move this great quality instrument forward and in the hands of more musicians while "not penalizing the guitar player for not having the core US model."
