● The 1 ½-inch thick alder body, rounded lower bout body rim and sharp tulip-shaped “double Florentine” cutaways are radical departures from Gibson’s classic designs.

● Custom Soapbar P-90 single-coil pickups combined with the alder body material provide punchy, bright tones with full-bodied midrange and aggressive bass.

● THE BOTTOM LINE

The Gibson Theodore is something new and old at the same time, providing a combination of familiar and comfortable features and playability while delivering a bold, entirely new voice.
