Gibson Elvis Costello Century of Progress Signature Model Acoustic Guitar The Elvis Costello Century of Progress Signature acoustic guitar is fashioned after Costello's beloved 1936 model; it is a painstaking recreation of his favorite acoustic used to record and perform many of the songs that made him the iconic musician that he is. Culling information from photos of Costello's treasured instrument and the original blueprints from the 1930s Gibson Acoustics' team of master luthiers were able to successfully reproduce every attribute of Costello's prized acoustic with flawless accuracy and immaculate attention to detail.No feature was overlooked in the creation of the Elvis Costello Century of Progress acoustic guitar. From the figured Hard Rock Eastern maple used for the back and sides to the Adirondack spruce used for the top and bracing including vintage-style glue used to put it all together the acoustic also offers a distinct peghead veneer and pearloid fingerboard adorned by diamond inlays within Madagascar rosewood rectangle fingerboard markers. The neck is crafted from one solid piece of Honduras mahogany and hand-sanded to form a pronounced "V" profile.The Elvis Costello Century of Progress from Gibson Acoustic will be released in a very limited run of only 300 instruments numbered from 001 to 300 with an exclusive black hardshell guitar case adorned with a special Elvis Costello/Gibson stamped commemorative plaque and certificate of authenticity. Each guitar's label will also be personally autographed by Costello.
