Gibson Electric Guitars

 

 

 
           For over 90 years the Gibson Guitar Company has taken the initiative to create the innovations that write music history. Gibson was the first musical instrument manufacturer to utilize an adjustable truss rod system, install a "stop bar" tailpiece, use enclosed tuners and produce a humbucking pickup!!! The new catalogue is full of new innovations as well as faithful reproductions of time-tested classics.
