Semi-Hollow Body With Distinctive Trini Styling

The 1964 Trini Lopez Standard Reissue features a three-ply maple/poplar/maple semi-hollow body, paired with a solid maple centerblock to tame feedback and enhance sustain. This thinline ES-style construction gives players a resonant, woody voice with the punch to handle higher stage volumes. True to the original design, the body’s visual identity is defined by diamond-shaped f-holes and a trapeze tailpiece with a signature Trini Lopez insert, both lending a striking stage presence. Lightweight and comfortable, this semi-hollow body not only delivers timeless tone and legendary resonance but also embodies the unique artistry that made the original a standout in Gibson’s golden-era lineup.

Comfortable ’64 Mahogany Neck and Sleek Indian Rosewood Fingerboard

A solid mahogany neck anchors the Trini Lopez Standard Reissue, carved to the chunky medium C-shaped profile taken directly from 1964 originals. Its substantial feel provides excellent stability and sustain while remaining inviting in hand. Topped with an Indian rosewood fingerboard, the neck offers 22 medium jumbo frets for a classic playing surface. Split-diamond cellulose nitrate inlays add distinctive flair, echoing the guitar’s signature design theme. The period-correct nylon nut allows for accurate tuning and contributes to the instrument’s to the warm sound, while the 24.75" scale length delivers smooth playability true to Gibson’s golden era.

PAF-Inspired Custombuckers With Handwired Electronics

The 1964 Trini Lopez Standard Reissue comes equipped with a pair of unpotted Custombucker pickups, each wound with Alnico 3 magnets to faithfully recreate the character of late-50s PAFs. Articulate, warm and dynamically responsive, they provide everything from crystalline cleans to rich, harmonically complex overdrive. The pickups are wired through CTS 500K audio taper pots and paper-in-oil capacitors for vintage-correct performance, ensuring smooth tonal roll-off and authentic response. This carefully tuned setup delivers the clarity and touch sensitivity that players crave, capturing the sound of Gibson’s most sought-after era while providing consistency for modern stage and studio work.

Premium Gibson Appointments and Unmatched Murphy Lab Artistry

No detail is overlooked in the Trini Lopez Standard Reissue, from its six-in-line headstock with Kluson tuners to its ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and diamond trapeze tailpiece. Nickel plating gives the hardware a timeless look, while black top-hat knobs with silver inserts provide period-correct control. The guitar is treated with Murphy Lab’s meticulous Ultra Light Aging, creating subtle lacquer checking and hardware wear that mirror decades of delicate use.
