    Among stacks of unsorted and unordered papers in the Gibson Archives sat an undiscovered original drawing of a guitar from Gibson’s Golden Era. The Gibson Theodore Standard is based on that design from 1957 and was only previously available as a limited edition 2022 Gibson Custom model-until now. Introducing the Theodore Standard, a new addition to our core lineup.
    Join Gibson Gear Guide host Dinesh Lekhraj as we demo the new Gibson Theodore Standard playing through myriad different genres, including everything from rock to shoegaze and everything in between.
    Dinesh compares the Gibson Theodore vs a Les Paul and the Gibson Theodore vs the Gibson SG, showcasing how this guitar differs tonally from each, showcasing just how versatile and different this guitar sounds, making it a great addition to any guitarist’s collection - best of all, this new Gibson guitar shape is here to stay.
    In addition, Dinesh plays the guitar with a full band to show you how the Gibson Theodore stands out in a live mix when up against a bass guitar and a set of drums.
    Key specs:
    The Theodore features a mahogany body available in three finishes, a scimitar headstock with Grover® Mini Rotomatic® tuners, and double Florentine cutaways that provide unimpeded access to all 22 frets on the rosewood-capped, SlimTaper™ mahogany neck profile which is thin, comfortable, and fast-playing, and while it is loved by players with a wide range of hand sizes, it is particularly well suited to players with smaller hands.
    The Gibson Theodore also comes loaded with Powerful ’57 Classic™ and ’57 Classic Plus humbucker™ pickups that produce effortless sustain.
    The ’57 Classic™ provides warm, full tone with a balanced response, packing the classic Gibson Patent Applied For humbucker crunch when you crank it up. They are made to the same specs as the originals, use Alnico 2 magnets, and have balanced coils for a smoother, creamier tone and excellent hum cancellation. The ’57 Classic Plus adds extra windings to the balanced coils for a bit more output, making it the perfect bridge position partner for the ’57 Classic.
    This is one of the best new Gibson guitars, and it is here to stay.

    Bought it, really enjoy playing it. It’s light, thin, rounded, sounds great, stays in tune( I did put Grover locking tuners on). Love the neck profile. No complaints and happy to own this in my collection. I’ve actually played this 90% of the time since getting this 3 weeks ago.

    When I first saw it a while back, I was unsure, but his time around it's growing on me. As you mentioned, the shape is not pigeon-holed into any specific genre which makes it interesting and gives a blank canvass. For me it would be between the SG and Theodore, guess it just depends on which way you want to display your horns! LOL!
    Dinesh, really enjoy your playing and the demos you do on the Gear Guides! 🤘

    These are cool and I'm glad to see something "new" added to the US production line but they seem "girly" to me. I think if Gibson targeted female players and offered them in shell pink, sonic blue and surf green, etc., they'd be a big hit. Put one in the hands of a female artist and push the "tulip" moniker instead of Theodore (yes, I know why it's called Theodore). To me, it seems like something Courtney Love would have played when she was relevant. Again, I like it but I wouldn't play it.
