The Top 10 Gibson Models Ever Created

J-250 Monarch-This is one of the more expensive guitars because of iSts fine features. The first notable feature on this beauty is the binding. The guitar has extensive binding all over including on the neck, fret board, headstock, and the body. The binding is similar to the J-200 using mother-of-pearl, and the rare Paua abalone. The pick guard is oversized and is used with the abalone and even hits of opal. It takes approximately 4 weeks to construct by hand and is valued as the best of the best.

ES-339-This model, unlike the Monarch, is much more affordable. It is the cheapest custom on the market, and is a Dot model. It is a semi hollow body and can be used with the 30/60 neck, or the 59’ rounded profile neck. The people at Gibson have also moved the input jack to the out side so there is no cable that crosses the body. Overall this is a great guitar definitely worth buying because of the wonderful features and cheap price.

Some of the features include a slim-tapered neck, fine sculpted double cut away body, 57 humbucker pickups at the neck and bridge, and finally a 22 hand edged fret board with mother of pearl trapezoid inlays. This SG is the choice of the pros including Tony Iommi, Pete Townshend, Angus Young, and Eric Clapton.
