The Gibson Custom Shop 1964 Trini Lopez Reissue CME Spec VOS in White Sparkle is a masterfully crafted tribute to one of Gibson’s most visually striking and sonically distinctive signature guitars. Built by the expert luthiers at Gibson’s Custom Shop, this limited-edition model blends vintage-correct specifications with subtle modern refinements, delivering both classic tone and jaw-dropping aesthetics. Designed in collaboration with Chicago Music Exchange, this reissue captures the spirit of the original 1964 model while showcasing a rare, eye-catching White Sparkle VOS (Vintage Original Spec) finish that makes it an instant standout on stage or in the studio.
At its core, the Trini Lopez Reissue features a semi-hollow centerblock body constructed from 3-ply Maple/Poplar/Maple, offering a perfect balance of warmth, clarity, and sustain. The top is matched in the same 3-ply configuration, while a single-ply .04 cream Royalite binding adds a refined visual frame. This classic thinline body is coated in nitrocellulose lacquer for a breathable, vintage-correct finish that will gracefully age over time.
The mahogany neck is shaped to a comfortable Medium C profile, and finished in a matching White Sparkle nitro lacquer for a seamless aesthetic connection to the body. Using the historic long tenon neck joint and traditional hide glue construction, this guitar is built with meticulous attention to vintage detail. The neck is topped with a rich, dark Indian rosewood fingerboard featuring a 12" radius, 22 frets, and elegant split diamond aged celluloid inlays, a defining element of the Trini Lopez aesthetic. Additional upscale touches include tortoise side dots, .09 cream Royalite neck binding, and a classic black headstock veneer.
Electronics are period-accurate yet performance-optimized, featuring a pair of Custom "S" Bucker humbuckers, known for their clarity, dynamic range, and PAF-inspired voice. Wired with CTS 500K audio taper potentiometers, paper-in-oil capacitors, and a 3-way Switchcraft toggle switch, the guitar offers articulate tone shaping and vintage-accurate control. Whether you're chasing woody neck pickup warmth or bright, snappy bridge tones, this Trini delivers.
The gold-plated hardware adds to the premium look, including an ABR-1 bridge, single diamond trapeze tailpiece with Trini Lopez insert, and Kluson single line strip tuners with metal buttons. Other appointments include a black 5-ply wide bevel pickguard, black Top Hat knobs with gold inserts, a cream switch tip, and an authentic medium-jumbo fret wire for smooth playability. Even the nylon nut and saddle choices nod to vintage Gibson tradition, providing tuning stability and classic tonal response.
Each guitar ships in a Gibson Custom Shop hard case, ready for the stage, studio, or collection. With its striking finish, historically faithful specs, and premium craftsmanship, the Custom Shop 1964 Trini Lopez Reissue CME Spec VOS White Sparkle is a unique and inspiring instrument that pays tribute to a timeless design while standing tall as a modern classic.
