MODERNE - HOLY GRAIL OF VINTAGE GUITARS by Ronald Lynn Wood: The Moderne was designed by Gibson in 1957 alongside the Flying V and Explorer as part of a stylistically advanced guitar line. At the time, the Moderne was deemed "just too different" and scrapped while the Flying V and Explorer became guitar icons. Sources claim Gibson made a handful of Moderne prototypes, but an original has yet to surface. The Moderne was eventually put into production in 1982. Because of their very limited production and forward design, Modernes are highly sought by collectors. Here is the story, explained in interviews and color photos, of this curiousity of the golden era of guitar making. 206 pp.
