Gibson Custom brings back one of the rarest birds in their catalog: the 1957 Mahogany Futura Reissue. This guitar directly replicates the mahogany-bodied Futura prototypes—the elusive ancestors of the iconic Gibson Explorer.
You'll unlock genuine late-1950s tone thanks to a pair of Custombucker pickups. These pickups perfectly capture the lush warmth and dynamic range of Gibson’s legendary PAF humbuckers. Playability is effortless across the Indian rosewood fingerboard thanks to the chunky, period-correct ’50s Vintage mahogany neck.
This Futura oozes vintage vibe: a unique split headstock design, a triangle-inlaid Gibson logo, and Kluson reissue tuners. To top it off, the lightly aged VOS finish and hardware give it the look and feel of a true closet classic.
With original Futura numbers estimated to be in the single digits, finding one on the vintage market is practically impossible. The 1957 Mahogany Futura Reissue is your chance to own a piece of untouchable Gibson history.
