The 2017 High Performance HP 635 W continues Gibson’s long history of producing world-famous square-shoulder body designs, such as the Hummingbird, Dove and Songwriter models. This one is a thinner, square-shoulder cutaway body design, hand-built using all North American tonewoods, and handcrafted with all the beauty and style Gibson is known for offering. When you initially pick up the HP 635 W, your first response will be how comfortable and streamlined the Advanced Response Neck feels— smooth and fast. Designed and engineered in Bozeman, Montana, great efforts were made for sculpting a neck that would unleash the player’s ability, and this totally delivers.
It allows you to be completely free and creative, fundamentally changing the interaction and relationship between you and your instrument. The 2017 HP 635 W's flatter radius and dense Richlite fingerboard creates a playing surface that is both smooth and fast with perfect string action, superb for complex chord voicings,or intricate solo music.
The domed, solid Sitka spruce top is joined with stunning walnut back and sides, and hand bound in distinctive black binding on the top and back. The two-piece maple neck is hand-fitted with a superior compound dovetail neck-to-body joint with hot hide glue (just like all Gibson Acoustics) for the ultimate vibration transfer from neck-to-body.The 2017 HP 635 W is finished off with elegant Gibson appointments, including a silver block Gibson decal on the headstock, classic mini nickel Grover tuners, superior Tusq nut and saddle, Richlite bridge and fingerboard, and mother-of-pearl position markers. The onboard L.R. Baggs Element pickup system delivers the true tonal character of this Gibson acoustic. And it all fits beautifully inside the included hardshell case.
Get your hands on one today, and be blown away by the sound and feel.
