When Gibson introduced the M-III in 1991 it totally embodied the “shred” guitar, marrying Gibson’s thundering power that had already ruled the rock world for more nearly four decades with the scale length, speed, and ultra-pointy styling that appealed to the world’s fastest players…
The new M-III from Gibson USA captures the magic of the original guitar’s playability, power, and visual appeal, thanks to Gibson’s renowned and exacting standards of workmanship and finish.
The 25 ½” scale length enables piano-like lows and shimmering highs, while a Floyd Rose™ trem facilitates everything from radical dive-bombing to evocative vibrato, all with unparalleled tuning stability.
