1991 Made in USA Gibson MIII. This guitar plays great and sounds incredible. It has some surface scratches & small dings mainly on the back but nothing major. Bridge pickup has been changed to a Seymour Duncan JB Trembucker. Original Case included leather handle has been taped otherwise in great condition. Original Bridge Pickup included but no output. Any questions let me know, The Gibson MIII was only made a few years so these are very rare guitars and hard to find. "For all you rockers & shredders out there that use the whammy bar and looking for a guitar that stays in perfect tune this guitar may be for you." The Gibson M-III, introduced in 1991, was a sleek, double-cutaway instrument that was surprisingly un-Gibson-like – with the exception of its Les Paul-style volume and tone knobs and reverse Explorer-type headstock. The Standard and Deluxe models sported Schaller-made Floyd Rose tremolos and an H-S-H (humbucker/single coil/humbucker) pickup layout married to a five-way blade switch and a two-way toggle, making the guitar capable of both humbucker and single coil sounds. The pickups were a 496R in the neck position, a 500T in the bridge and an NSX single coil in the middle position. Flip the two-way switch one way and it focused on humbucker sounds. Flip it the other way for single coil sounds. A total of nine separate sounds were possible, including an enhanced neck pickup tone and a stand-by mode for muting or kill switch effects. Great care was taken to make the pickup layout seem intuitive, presumably to ease the learning curve for an admittedly un-Gibson-like Gibson. One particularly interesting touch was the “zebra” pickup color scheme: the white coils of each humbucker, combined with the white single coil, provided a visual reminder that the guitar was capable of traditional 3-pickup single coil sounds as well as twin-humbucker ones.
