Gibson Custom 1957 Korina Futura Reissue - Vintage Natural

The Gibson Custom 1957 Korina Futura Reissue revives one of Gibson's most elusive guitars from the early years. First launched as part of Gibson's "Modernist" series, the Futura made its public debut at the 1957 NAMM show, drawing attention with its sharp angles and split headstock. While it set the stage for the Explorer, the Futura had its own unique charm, and with only a few prototypes ever being built, it's one of the rarest Gibson guitars ever made.

The 1957 Korina Futura Reissue starts with a two-piece Korina body in a natural VOS finish. The wood grain shines through wonderfully, creating an understated yet sophisticated aesthetic. Pair that with the '50s Vintage Korina neck and unbound Indian rosewood fingerboard that perfectly fit your hand, and you've got a rockin' old-school guitar that just begs to be played.

Plug it in, and the Korina Futura Reissue truly comes alive, thanks to the Custombucker pickups with aged Alnico 3 magnets. These humbuckers produce a rich, expressive sound that's as vibrant as the original, and their unpotted design gives them an extra touch of vintage authenticity. Whether you're slingin' out warm, smokey tones for blues rock or cranking up the heat for modern rock, these Custombuckers deliver an extensive range of sounds.

Every detail, from the lightweight aluminum stop bar tailpiece to the iconic split headstock design, has been meticulously crafted to honor the original. Gold VOS hardware and vintage-style Kluson tuners complete the look, giving this guitar a classic appeal.

The 1957 Korina Futura Reissue gives guitarists a chance to play one of Gibson's most forward-thinking designs that never made it to production. If you've been searching for a top-notch collector's piece with a killer vibe, the Futura Reissue is sure to satisfy.
