Tamio Okuda's Sound and Aesthetic, Right Here - the Ultimate Signature Model Recreating a Legendary Vintage.

Do you love the natural voice of an acoustic guitar, but find it gets buried and thin once it's mixed into a full band? Have you ever wanted to strum out that thick, gritty-yet-warm 'acoustic plus P-90' tone your favorite rock star gets?

A typical piezo-equipped electro-acoustic simply can't deliver that thick, rugged rock tone. And hunting down an original 1950s CF-100E is next to impossible, with prices climbing further out of reach every year. Finding a genuine 'rock acoustic' with real stage presence that can also take a beating on the road is no easy task.

This 'Gibson 2015 Tamio Okuda CF-100E' is the ultimate answer to that craving. Tamio Okuda, one of Japan's leading rock musicians and a true connoisseur of vintage Gibsons, has poured his aesthetic and uncompromising devotion to tone into this single guitar.

A Revived Legend: the P-90 Tone

A P-90 magnetic pickup mounted above the soundhole combines the guitar's full acoustic voice with the thick, sweet tone P-90s are known for - plug in and you get 'that sound' instantly.

The Key to the Sound: a Deliberately Chunky Neck

At Okuda's request, it features a fat, 1950s-style neck profile, which is the real secret behind its powerful strumming response and full-bodied tone.

A Faded Cherry with Real Character

The compact body with a sharp Florentine cutaway is finished in a faded cherry reminiscent of an aged vintage instrument - striking looks on its own.

This was a limited-production signature model released in 2014 and is no longer in production, rarely appearing used since dedicated fans and tone-focused players tend to hold onto them.
