Gibson Memphis division displayed a whole different take on a familiar body shape: the ES-Les Paul. While the guitar has the same outward dimensions of the LP, the body is constructed more like that of an ES-335's semi-hollow design. Not only is the instrument lighter, but the tone is enhanced while still being feedback resistant. While offered in several traditional Les Paul colors and NOS finishes, this one is Alpine White.
Gretsch added a new archtop to the Roots Collection, a New Yorker with a floating “monkey on a stick” pickup based off of the old DeArmond jazz guitar pickup.
