Today’s Gibson finishes bear the same classic status as Gibson’s guitar models, paying tribute to Gibson’s historic past while setting new standards for the future. The dusky Cremona brown sunburst, introduced on the top-of-the-line Style 5 models in 1922, has evolved into today’s Vintage Sunburst. The deep cherry stain and cherry sunburst finishes that turned heads in the ’50s live on as Heritage Cherry and Heritage Cherry Sunburst. The warm aura of a vintage guitar is embodied in an Antique Natural or Honey Burst finish. New models continue to add new finishes to the Gibson tradition.
