LA Vintage Gear is proud to present this 1983 Gibson Futura, a rare and forward-thinking Gibson design from the early ’80s offering bold styling, unique construction, and serious player appeal.
Built with a solid maple body and set maple neck, this Futura delivers exceptional clarity, sustain, and snap, with a more immediate attack than traditional mahogany-based Gibson models. The rosewood fretboard and 24.75″ scale length provide a familiar feel, while the offset body design gives it a distinct visual and ergonomic identity.
Equipped with a dual humbucker (HH) configuration and Gibson Super Tune Vibrato, this guitar offers strong output, focused mids, and the versatility to handle everything from classic rock to heavier tones with ease.
Finished in a striking purple gloss, this is a standout example of Gibson’s more experimental era equal parts collectible and stage-ready.
A rare vintage Gibson with unique tone and presence perfect for players and collectors looking for something outside the norm.
The Guitar is in very good condition with a good amount of genuine player wear (shown in photos). There are a couple of contact points on the headstock where the finish has melted from some sort of interaction with a stand (shown in photos). Ships with a gig bag.

- Maple body with Maple neck-through design
