Full Description

Stunning tone that just keeps giving

This is sound that just gets better with age. With a solid tonewood construction, the Walnut Modern develops even more sonic character the more you play. It's time to explore an instrument that just keeps on giving. This Gibson Parlor features a sitka spruce top which offers a broad dynamic range while producing a rich, strong, clear tone with incredible versatility.

Married to the Modern's sitka spruce top are walnut back and sides. Walnut produces a rich, earthy warmth with a present mid-range. It also has the depth of rosewood and mahogany's clarity. And, the more you play a walnut acoustic, the more the bass tones bloom, and grow richer. This sonically stunning pairing of timber lets you play almost anything. So, from blues to folk, from country to roots, and slide to picking techniques, it's got you covered. Highly responsive and perfect for the professional.

And, you can play a wide range of genres and techniques with ease thanks to its responsive nature. Play with comfort and reach for higher frets with a smooth, slick feel thanks to a Venetian cutaway. It's ready for any passionate performer. Don't be bound by tradition - do it the Gibson way.

Electronics inspired by Nashville's greatest studios

Revolutionary electronics. Majestic live performance. The Gibson Parlor Walnut Modern comes equipped with the popular VTC pickup from LR Baggs. Perfect for professionals, this is a high-quality LR Baggs system that's incredibly responsive thanks to its meticulous design.

The LR Baggs VTC was inspired by the magic created in some of Nashville's legendary studios. Capturing this magic, they bring you electronics that make any live setting a joy to play. Natural, rich, dynamic. And, it features a low-profile undersaddle pickup that's proven more stable and durable than standard ribbon-type pickups. With an unobtrusive design and removable volume/tone mounted just within the soundhole, the VTC and the Parlor Walnut together are an unmistakable combination. It can only be Gibson.

Advanced response - Gibson style

This is where Gibson get modern. Although many players love that old-school feel, we don't appreciate the lack of comfort as guitarists. Long, enduring sets and studio sessions are now a breeze to play. This is thanks to Gibson's advanced response neck profile. It not only provides comfort in each position up and down the neck, but it comes with a flatter fingerboard radius. This allows you to achieve string bends and play with iconic style in the 21st century. A classic Gibson sound - but with playability made for you, the modern musician.
