Gibson: Slash Les Paul Signature Model (Dark Tobacco Burst)
Two icons of hard rock come together to create one of the most iconic and playable rock Guitars around.Guns N' Roses and Slash - using his beloved Les Paul Standard - became the zenith of the new renaissance, breathing fresh life into the sounds of hard rock and heavy metal, and pushing the Les Paul Standard back into the limelight and into a new era of rebirth that it continues to enjoy today.The Slash Les Paul Signature model from Gibson Custom is an earnest tribute to Slash, and focuses on function as much as beauty. With Slash offering his valuable input, Gibson Custom has created one of its most distinct - and best sounding - Les Pauls ever, with all the features and characteristics that inspire Slash every time he picks it up.The Slash Les Paul Signature model features aged hardware, two Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro II humbucker pickups and a Fishman Powerbridge pickup system that offers players an incredible selection of acoustic and hybrid acoustic/electric sounds with a special three-position mini-toggle switch inserted between the guitar's two volume control knobs to help regulate it.Gibson Custom's original Custom Authentic finish gives the Slash Les Paul Signature model the look of a gently aged vintage guitar. Other features include the Les Paul's traditional carved maple top and mahogany back and a one-piece mahogany neck with a long neck tenon - just like the Les Pauls of the late 1950s.
Yamaha: CLPS-408PE Digital Piano (Polished Ebony)
The CLP-400 range brings new levels of realism to the Clavinova series. A linear graded hammer action and GP response damper pedal take the playing experience to a higher level, presented in a stylish slim-line cabinet.Natural Wood white keys with Synthetic Ivory keytops14 voices each with 2 variationsYamaha 'Real Grand Expression' sound engineSmooth release and damper resonance featuresKey-off samples, string resonance and stereo sustain samplesUSB audio recording and playbackLinear Graded Hammer actionGP Response damper pedalAcoustic speaker enclosureYamaha Real Grand Expression technology creates playing response and expressive capability similar to those of a grand piano. RGE combines three key elements: Sound, touch and pedals. The grand piano voices are created by sampling a Yamaha concert grand piano. A single piano was selected and finely tuned by a master piano technician. The result is a sound that captures both the beauty of each note and the harmonised sound of a single piano. The touch of a Clavinova has been meticulously refined using feedback from many pianists. Yamaha technology creates smooth and dynamic changes in tone according the strength of touch, replicating the expressiveness of a grand piano. Finally, the pedals are designed to complete the playing experience that only a Yamaha Clavinova can provide.Intelligent Acoustic Control provides a full, balanced sound with rich lows and clear highs even at low volume. One of the joys of a Clavinova is that the volume can be adjusted to avoid disturbing others. However, playing at low volumes can make it difficult to hear bass and treble. The Intelligent Acoustic Control function automatically adjusts the sound and the volume control makes fine adjustments to the speaker system, ensuring that you can always enjoy the utmost sound quality even at low volumes.A Clavinova has many piano voices so that you can select the type of piano best suited to the musical genre you wish to play. In addition to acoustic pianos, you can enjoy the sound of electric pianos, including a Yamaha CP1 stage piano. Other instrument voices including classical organ, harpsichord and guitar are available while dual voice enables two sounds, for example piano and strings, to be combined giving the opportunity to play a wide variety of music.In addition to being compact and requiring no tuning, a Clavinova has a number of other useful features. Two headphone jacks offer the ability to listen in to a practice session or play duets in silence. A metronome, transpose function, brilliance control and digital effects such as concert-hall reverb and many other versatile features are also incorporated.Recording is a useful way to evaluate your performance and share with others. You can record at the touch of a button or use two-track recording to record both hands individually, or create a duet. Playback tempo can be adjusted and performances can be stored on a USB memory device. In addition, this Clavinova has a USB audio recorder, which enables performances to be recorded as an audio track (WAV file format). Recordings can be transferred to a computer and then stored on a portable digital media player or onto a CD, for playback in a CD player. This function also provides the opportunity to play along with an audio track stored on a USB memory device.
Gibson: 1958 Les Paul Plain Top VOS (Washed Cherry)
'This guitar now has a rich, rubbed appearance that cannot be equaled at any price . this instrument is a true beauty.' - Gibson Gazette, December 1958Objects of distinction are seldom recognized immediately, and this was certainly the case when Gibson introduced the newly renamed Les Paul Standard in July of 1958. Having already made several modifications to the base Les Paul Model guitar over the previous two years - the Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece being the most notable changes - the new Les Paul Standard introduced in 1958 hoped to correct Gibson's waning sales of solid body electric guitars, which had been on the decline ever since 1953 when the company shipped 2,245 instruments.For the 1958 Standard Plaintop, Gibson decided to arrange the maple top in two 'bookmatched' pieces glued together at the center seam, giving each guitar its very own distinct look and marking the beginning of the guitar world's fascination with figured maple tops, even though the majority of the tops used in 1958 were considered 'plain' when compared to the tops used one year later and beyond.Legendary Gibson president Ted McCarty and his staff partly blamed the guitar's Goldtop finish as the main culprit for the sales slump and decided to forego the finish in favor of new, brighter finish dubbed Cherry Sunburst, which allowed the natural beauty of the maple top to be showcased - something that had previously been concealed by the Goldtop finish.Additionally, Cherry Sunburst was the only colour other than Gold that was used to finish the new Les Paul Standards in 1958, even though clear differences in the colour of vintage examples would suggest otherwise. These variations were due mainly to the inconsistency of the red pigment used by Gibson to paint the sunburst finish, a problem that wasn't corrected until the early 1960s and which caused many of the guitars to fade to some degree of amber, honey or yellow hue. This 'problem' inadvertently led to the creation of many of the finishes used today on numerous Gibson guitars, including Honey Burst, Tobacco Burst, Light Burst, Iced Tea Burst, Lemon Burst, Vintage Sun Burst and, of course, the original Heritage Cherry Sun Burst.The 1958 Les Paul Standard reissue produced today by Gibson Custom is true to all of the original instrument's features and characteristics, including Gibson's traditional hand-carved 'plain' maple top and solid, non-weight relieved mahogany body. The headstock is made from Holly head veneer, as opposed to fiber, just like it was in 1958, and the vintage-style tulip tuners are mounted in a straight line, also as they were on the original. The 24 ¾-inch scale length neck is made from one solid piece of mahogany, and attached to the body using a long neck tenon - one of the Les Paul's more distinguishing characteristics of the 1950s. The neck is topped by a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard outfitted with acrylic trapezoid inlays matching the size and colour of the originals. Of course, two of Gibson's legendary Burstbucker pickups deliver all the subtle variations of true, classic humbucker tone by using historically 'unmatched' bobbin windings and Alnico II magnets. Other historical appointments include CTS potentiometers, bumble bee capacitors, rolled crme-colored fingerboard binding, single-ply thin binding around the body, and period-correct switchwasher and jackplate. The 1958 Les Paul Standard comes in either a V.O.S. or Gloss finish, and with the standard Gibson Custom case, custom care kit and certificate of authenticity.
