What is Gibson known for?
Gibson sells guitars under a variety of brand names and builds one of the world’s best-known guitars, the Gibson Les Paul. Gibson was at the forefront of innovation in acoustic guitars, especially in the big band era of the 1930s; the Gibson Super 400 was widely imitated.
Where is Gibson now?
All Gibson guitars are made in the USA. With their solid-body and hollow-body guitars manufactured at their Nashville headquarters, Gibson’s acoustic guitars are produced at a separate Montana-based factory. The company’s semi-hollow and hollow-body guitars were previously made in their iconic Memphis plant.
Why Gibson is so expensive?
Uses the Best Quality Material. Most people might not know this, but truth being told, Gibson uses premium quality vintage woods to manufacture its guitars. These woods include mahogany, rosewood, maple, and ebony. Back in some time, the use of these woods was common, and everyone used these to manufacture guitars.
What type of music was the Gibson is best suited for?
Gibsons, with their humbuckers are used more for rock, blues rock, classic rock, metal, jazz (especially hollow body Gibsons) and punk. There are of course many exceptions where people have used a Strat for metal and a Les Paul for pop; it’s just to give you an idea.
