Orville Gibson began it all by making mandolins in Kalamazoo, Michigan with
a patented design that set the first of many standards that the
Gibson company would establish.
Gibson soon became the leading manufacturer of archtop guitars under the legendary
designer Lloyd Loar. In 1936, they introduced their first electric guitar and in 1952 the Les Paul
was released. Today's
Gibson electric guitars represent the history as well as the future of the
electric guitar. The models whose designs have become classics-the
ES-175,
ES-335,
Flying V,
Explorer,
Firebird,
SGs and
Les Pauls-are a testament to
Gibson's wide appeal, spanning more than four decades of music styles.Gibson acoustic guitars including the iconic
J-200 and
Hummingbird are considered the pinnacle of the genre.
Gibson's close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement models from
players from all genres - jazz, country and rock - setting new standards with award-winning
innovations.
