Gibson

Since 1902, Gibson have produced a wide range of guitar designs that have gone on to become classics. Their first major breakthrough in electric guitar design came in 1935 with the Gibson ‘Electric Spanish’, now affectionately known as the ES series. However, their most successful innovation came in 1952. Enlisting the help of renowned musician Les Paul, together they created a solid body electric guitar. Gibson continued to innovate by releasing a number of other distinguishable electric guitar designs in the following years. The most noteworthy of these include the Flying V, Explorer, SG and Firebird models, which remain in their catalogue. These guitars continue to be updated for a modern audience, yet still maintain the heart and soul of the early releases. Throughout the years, Gibson has also offered a range of high-quality acoustic and electro-acoustic guitars, including the popular J-45 and Hummingbird models.
