Gibson Guitar produced the Dark Fire on December 3, 2008.

Here was innovation itself.

Technical achievements and advancements that have ever since inspired the world of music.

Gibson Digital Guitar started the ball rolling in 2006 then the Robot Guitar showed it’s face in 2007 setting pulses racing.

Gibson’s Dark Fire guitar has completely changed music history and the music industry, virtually overnight.

The Gibson Dark Fire looks:

1. A nitrocellulose finish.
2. Mahogany back and neck have a satin finish for superb playability.
3. Headstock face has a gloss finish.
4. A flowerpot inlay such as on the F4 Mandolin and the Byrd-land, decorates the headstock.

Inspiration for the Dark Fire came mainly from the 2008 Les Paul.

• The 2008 Les Paul has a ultra slick, and very comfortable neck shape along with Perfect Setup.
• This guarantee of perfection is made possible by a computerized PLEK system.
• They’ve redesigned the piezo bridge.
• Teflon and frictionless faux bone are been used in the manufacture of the nut.
• There is a bridge lock for total tone and sustain.
• Locking tuners make sure that string tension and tuning are held steady through plenty of wild playing.

Gibson Dark Fire lets you blend and adjust the sound from the  guitar’s traditional pickups, with the sound from the  piezo bridge pickup, thanks to the rotary potentiometer .

You control functions of the Dark Fire with the MCK or Master Control Knob.

There’s a sophisticated color matrix display.

The new MCK, controls:

1. pickup changing.
2. Coils.
3. Tunings
4. And EQ settings.

This allows you to adjust everything smoothly, and more importantly, simultaneously, during your performance.

See you soon.
