Here for sale we have a Gibson N-225 finished in an Ebony with Pinstripe finish. This semi-hollow guitar was part of Gibsons ‘designer’ series and features a hand painted pinstripe guitar courtesy of legendary artist Rick Harris, whose signature can also be found on the instrument. Crafted in the USA in 2013, this guitar features a set neck construction comprising a chambered Maple body, Maple neck and 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. This guitar is fitted with a tuneo-matic bridge with a Lyre Vibrato, locking Grover tuning machines, along with a bone nut. The pickups installed are a Gibson P-90 pickup in the neck and a Dirty Fingers+ humbucker in the bridge. These are wired to a 3-way toggle switch, master volume and master tone controls, with a push/pull coil split function for the humbucker.

The '60s SlimTaper neck profile profile fills the hand reassuringly without feeling overly cumbersome.The set-neck construction and double cutaway design provides excellent access to the upper register, and along with the Rosewood fingerboard and satin finish a smooth playing experience can be expected in all registers. The chambered Maple body provides a reassuring weight and is surprisingly substantial feeling when compared with other semi hollow instruments, creating a perfect balance between playing comfort and a full tone. 

The combination of a P-90 pickup in the neck position and a Dirty Fingers+ humbucker in the bridge leads to a versatile tonal palette on offer. The bridge pickup is overwound, creating a high output producing aggressive and raw tones ideal for overdriven settings. There is plenty of clarity and definition available in the P90, lending itself well to clean tones, however with a bit of dirt behind it there is a tonally rich and defined sound produced perfect for rock and blues. The coil split for the bridge pickup further enhances the guitar's versatility, with delicate single coil tones becoming available.
