This vintage 1968 Gibson Trini Lopez Standard was a phenomenal example that came through the shop last year. I purchased it from its original owner outside of Denver, Colorado. The Trini Lopez Standard model is very similar to the Gibson ES-335 model in that it features a thinline body with solid center block, hollow wings, and two humbucking pickups. It differs from the ES-335 in that it has a non-Reverse Firebird style headstock with 6 tuners on one side, split diamond fretboard inlays, diamond style sound holes, and a fancy engraved plate on the tailpiece.
I'm always a Gibson guitar buyer, but I'm especially looking for Trini Lopez and ES-335 guitars. You can contact me here to sell a vintage Gibson guitar.

Notes: Just in from the daughter of the original owner! This clean 1968 Gibson Trini Lopez Standard has survived in incredible condition and plays like a new instrument. I flew into Denver, Colorado on my way back from Montana while buying a '41 Gibson SJ-100 to meet this seller. I knew as soon as the case opened that I had to have it.
