With a pair of Memphis Historic Spec (MHS) alnico humbucker pickups, which are based on '50s-era pickups and designed to enhance the sound of hollowbody guitars, you will be able to dial in chiming country tones as easily as savagely distorted rock tones. The Alnico III neck pickup gives you classic hollowbody-style tones for everything from smooth jazz to dirty blues. Flip to the Alnico II bridge pickup, and you will command sounds covering everything from bright and clean to raw and mean. Gibson Memphis's commitment to quality When you want a premium hollowbody or semi-hollowbody guitar, there's nothing like a Gibson. Handbuilt at the Gibson Memphis Custom Shop, these guitars feature premium craftsmanship and carefully selected tonewoods that give you amazing playability and tone.
