1968 Gibson Trini Lopez Standard

Gibson's Trini Lopez Standard was one of two artist signature models made in in partnership with Trinidad "Trini" Lopez in the mid 1960s. Trini was a guitar based pop artist and occasional actor who was active in the late 1950s throughout the 1960s. Trini unfortunately passed recently and will be dearly missed. 

I'm always a vintage Gibson guitar buyer but I'm especially looking for Gibson Trini Lopez guitars. You can contact me here to sell a vintage Gibson guitar.

This 1968 Gibson Trini Lopez Standard has survived in excellent condition and is an excellent example of the model. It's very similar to Gibson's ES-335 model except that it features a six on one side headstock similar to that of Firebird line of guitars, split diamond fretboard inlays, diamond style body holes instead of typical F style holes, and Rosewood tailpiece insert with engraved black black-white-black plastic decorative plate. All other specifications are the same as the ES-335 including the solid center block body with hollow wings and twin humbucking pickups.

I was lucky enough to acquire this beautiful example of the Gibson Trini Lopez Standard from the daughter of the original owner outside of Silverthorne, Colorado while on a buying trip. It was amazingly well preserved with its hang tag inside the original hard shell case! Its only flaw appeared to be a large area of finish reaction and bubbling on the back of the body. It's likely that the guitar was stored away for a long time sitting on top of a vinyl chord book.
