Gibson Announces Spiderman Guitar

Gibson Guitars Custom Shop is weaving a web of music and creativity. In a cooperative effort with industry giant Marvel Comics, Gibson will introduce a Spiderman signature guitar called "Webslinger One". The limited edition of 75 guitars will be offered only through national and international comics and collectable dealers.

Webslinger One will feature authentic Spiderman artwork straight from the archives of Marvel Comics and features the shape of the legendary Les Paul.. Each pickguard will be signed by Spidermans creator, Stan Lee. The ebony wood fingerboard a hand-inlayed pearl web design, and the volume and tone controls will feature a arachnid pattern.

A set of limited edition Spiderman picks, strings and strap compliments each guitar along with a Custom Shop hardshell case.

"At Gibson weve built a tradition of creating guitars that capture imagination and express excitement. The Spiderman guitars do both of those things," commented Gibson Chairman and CEO Henry Juszkiewicz. "We couldnt be more proud of our relationship with Marvel Comics and Stan Lee. The legend that Stan and Marvel have created fits perfectly with Gibson's reputation for making great instruments that are fun, works of art and good investments too," he added.

The guitars will be available in select outlets this Spring. The Webslinger One information phone number is: 1.877.348.4827.
