new guitars released in 2012

sculpted ergonomically to conform to the player's body

Sinuous

By 2012, New Release One Comment

The new Sinuous SD – sharpening the Axe. The true difference with the Sinuous guitar is in how the guitar body conforms to the body. It gets rid of that feeling of playing a plank of wood and feels very natural. Some guitar manufacturers try solving this by cutting out the backs of guitars for comfort, but can only go cut so deep because it is a flat board. The solid-wood body is bent into a shape to hug your body and also roll away where you do not want it to hit you, all while keeping the guitar thin and without unwanted weight.

Shrouded in the silvered mists of myth and legend, the Gibson Moderne has long been known as the enigmatic “guitar that never was”. A prototype was displayed at the 1957 NAMM show, at the time the Moderne was originally intended to be the sibling of the Flying V and the Explorer, but never made it off the launch pad the way the other two then-futuristic classics did. The new Moderne captures the look, feel and sound of the original, and puts it in the hands of players today.
