Gibson Custom Shop / 2015 Tamio Okuda CF-100E
[Demo Video]
—The sound and aesthetic of Tamio Okuda are right here. The ultimate signature model, recreating a legendary vintage guitar.
Have you ever thought, “I love the natural sound of an acoustic guitar, but when I play with a band, the sound gets lost and sounds thin…”
or “I want to strum that thick, gritty yet warm ‘acoustic + P-90’ sound, just like that rock star I’ve always admired!”?
Typical Electric Acoustic guitars equipped with piezo pickups inevitably sound thin and simply can’t produce that rugged, rock-’n’-roll sound.
On the other hand, finding an original 1950s CF-100E is an extremely difficult task, and prices continue to skyrocket to unaffordable levels. It’s by no means easy to find a “true rock acoustic” that exudes an overwhelming presence
on stage and can still be used hard in live settings.
The ultimate answer to that craving is this “2015 Gibson Tamio Okuda CF-100E.” Tamio Okuda, one of
Japan’s leading rock musicians and an expert on vintage Gibsons, has masterfully embodied his aesthetic and extraordinary dedication to
sound in this single instrument.
—The “P-90” Sound That Revives a Legend
The P-90 magnetic pickup sits proudly above the soundhole. The rich, natural resonance
of the acoustic guitar blends with the thick, sweet tone unique to the P-90, and the moment you plug it into an amp, “that sound” bursts forth.
—The Key to the Sound: “A Carefully Crafted, Thick Neck”
The ’50s-style fat neck was recruited at Mr. Okuda’s strong request.
This solid grip is the greatest secret behind its ability to handle powerful strums and produce a rich, full-bodied tone.
—The Alluring “Faded Cherry”
The compact, easy-to-hold body—featuring a sharp Florentine cutaway—is finished in a subdued cherry color reminiscent of faded vintage guitars. It boasts an overwhelming visual presence that makes it a true work of art
simply by being there.
Encountering
this guitar is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
This model is a special signature model that was produced in a “limited run” in 2014, and production has already ceased.
Because passionate fans and sound-conscious players refuse to part with them, they rarely appear on the current used market. They sell out immediately
upon arrival, making them a true “phantom guitar.” We have absolutely no way of predicting when we’ll be able to offer another specimen in such
excellent condition.
For those who continue to be inspired by Tamio Okuda’s sound, and for those who want a “one-of-a-kind, ultimate rock acoustic guitar” as their partner:
