Elegant ES Supreme design

The ES Supreme expands on the heritage of Gibson’s famous ES models with premium materials and refined styling. Its semi-hollow body construction features a beautifully figured AAA maple top paired with layered maple and poplar, creating the distinctive resonance and visual depth associated with the ES family. Gold hardware and striking mother-of-pearl Super Split Block inlays enhance the guitar’s upscale appearance. The headstock is adorned with a distinctive “Chandelier” inlay inspired by a design discovered in Gibson’s archives from the 1940s, giving the instrument a subtle historical touch while reinforcing its flagship status. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Burstbucker Pro tonal range

At the heart of the ES Supreme is a pair of Burstbucker pickups designed to capture the warmth and complexity of vintage Gibson humbuckers. The Burstbucker Rhythm Pro in the neck position provides smooth, expressive tones ideal for blues, jazz, and classic rock. The Burstbucker Lead Pro in the bridge position offers additional output and bite for more aggressive rhythm work and singing lead lines. Push/pull volume controls allow coil splitting, giving players access to brighter single-coil-style sounds and expanding the instrument’s tonal versatility.

Comfortable neck and ebony fingerboard

The mahogany neck is carved to a Rounded “C” profile that offers a balanced feel suited to a variety of playing styles. An ebony fingerboard with a compound radius provides comfortable chord work near the nut while allowing smooth bends and faster lead playing higher up the neck. Twenty-two frets and elegant mother-of-pearl Super Split Block inlays complete the playing surface, while the overall neck design encourages fluid movement across the entire fretboard.

Professional hardware and performance

The ES Supreme is fitted with high-quality hardware designed for reliability and tone. An aluminium Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and lightweight stop bar tailpiece provide strong sustain and precise intonation. Locking Grover tuners with Keystone buttons ensure stable tuning and make string changes quick and convenient. Combined with premium electronics and the semi-hollow body design that the ES series is known for, these features deliver the balance of resonance, clarity, and performance expected from a modern Gibson flagship instrument.
