Gibson U2 1988 Red

This guitar is Gibson’s foray into the SHRED ERA…

The 1980’s put brands like Ibanez, ESP, Charvel and Jackson on the map-

Most of the top bands of the time were using “shred style” guitars- and Gibson had to keep up-

So they came up with an offset double cutaway guitar with a Humbucker and two single coil pickups. Each has an on/off switch. The Humbucker has a coil tap.

Check out the Explorer type headstock!!

There is a Kahler bridge and note that it looks like there had been some repair work done to that area- see the picture….

24 frets and a 25.5 scale.

Cool guitar!
