Gibson

Gibson Guitars dominate the rock'n roll alphabet of performers from Duane Allman to Frank Zappa. Since visionary luthier Orville Gibson began building mandolin-guitars in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1902, the guitar models have been at the heart of modern music.

The 'King of the Delta Blues' Robert Johnson said he was taught to play his L-1 acoustic by the Devil who visited him one night, took the guitar and showed him some songs at the Dockery Plantation in Mississippi. Johnson's catalogue of only 29 songs inspired an entire generation of musicians that fills the pantheon of 20th Century popular music.

Bob Dylan plays a signature Gibson SJ-200; the Edge from U2 works with a series of models from the 1976 Explorer to a Les Paul Custom 1983. The British Pop revolution of the 1960s is largely played on Gibson guitars – from Johnson's inspiration.

The Beatles, The Stones and the enigmatic Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac wove the themes of modern pop and rock on Gibsons. Woody Guthrie even wrote on his Southern Jumbo L-O 'this machine kills fascists'.

The Gibson legacy certainly maintains it’s air of guitar majesty and mysticism to this day maintaining its leading spot in the market for their unequivocal standard in tone, craft and that special ‘vibe’ that has carried through the history of the instruments, and the profound music that owes much of it’s spirit to these guitars.

Gibson Les Paul Slash Standard

Not The Appetite Guitar Slash could be the most famous guitarist alive today, his amazing tone combined with his unique phrasing defined his sound and his iconic appearance cemented him in the record books. Since the hit GnR albums Slash went through a few projects until today where he once again is part of GnR and his own extremely popular solo albums with Myles Kennedy (alter bridge).One of the projects Slash worked on for a number of years was Slash's Snakepit ... named such because Slash LOVES snakes! Therefore the colour choice and name of this Anaconda burst Les Paul makes perfect sense.Designed to Slash's exact specifications the guitar features a chunky C profile 50's neck, custom voiced pickups, AAA flame maple top and Slash's signature adorns the truss rod cover!

Gibson Flying V (1976)

Nothing like a V When it was released in the late 50s it was way too futuristic, which brought Gibson to stop the production of the Flying V. The V, next to the Explorer showcased how talented the design team Ted McCarty gathered. Their goal was to design guitars to compete with the rise of the Fender Stratocaster. What did not work in the 50s really worked well in the 70s with the rise of metal music and the need in more extreme and out of the ordinary design. Equipped with two T Top Pat Humbuckers, light mahogany body and these super cool 2 horns, this 1976 Gibson Flying V is a super cool axe. Most associate the looks of the Flying V with hard rock, but these are actually pretty versatile guitars in our opinion. After all, Albert King and Hendrix too, played V in their careers.

Gibson CS Dickey Betts 1957

Gibson Les Paul Dickey Betts Goldie Custom Shop.png

Goldie Dickey Betts was an early endorsee of the Gibson Les Paul back. When people thought solid body guitars would never catch on, Dickey was making great solo records and with some great bands most notably the Allman Brothers. This is a re-issue of his 1957 Goldtop Les Paul which Dickey purchased in the 70's and although today the actual guitar has been refinished in red, the re-issues can be bought in both the current colour and the original gold as per our example. As a rare custom shop, these guitar can fetch around $10,000 when they do appear for sale which isn't very often.

Gibson Explorer Sammy Hagar Red Rocker Signature

A Rocking Signature Explorer! Gibson dedicated this iconic Explorer Signature electric guitar to Sammy Hagar who rocked endless stages for decades. The Red Rocker Explorer has solid mahogany body and neck, a rosewood fingerboard and two uncovered zebra pickups which work so well in our opinion. The '57 Classic in the neck position is warm and bluesy while the BurstBucker 3 in the Bridge is a rock machine. While being a really versatile axe, due to its somewhat out-there appearance this instrument might not be everyone's choice. But if you are a collector, or if the colour red does not scare, take a spin on the Gibson Explorer Sammy Hagar Red Rocker Signature. Expect the search to be a little hard though, as only 250 of them were made.
