Welcome to Crimson Guitars HQ https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and a new Guitar Story with Josh. Today we are looking into the history of the Gibson Moderne and the 1958 Epiphone Moderne reissue. Do you think this is simply an Ugly design or a collectors Holy Grail guitar?
EPIPHONE MODERNE ‘1958’
Introduced as a prototype in 1958, the Moderne was one of three new designs, two of which – the Flying V and Explorer – went on to become rock classics. A few Modernes were produced and since then have become the collector’s holy grail.
• Legendary “Moderne” design
• Korina (African Limba) body with Antique Natural Finish
• Korina Neck with 1960s Slim D profile
• 24.75 in. Scale Length
• Gold-Plated Epiphone Alnico Classic Humbucking pickups
• Wilkinson Vintage machine heads
• LockTone Tune-O-Matic Bridge
• Gold-Plated Stopbar bridge
