| Gibson Guitars
The home of Gibson electric guitars today is "Gibson USA,"
built in 1974 in Nashville specifically for the production of
Gibson's Les Paul guitars. 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's
close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement
models from King, Atkins and jazz greats Howard Roberts
and Herb Ellis, plus new Les Pauls made to the personal
specifications of rock stars Jimmy Page and Joe Perry.
In 1994, Gibson's Centennial year, the new Nighthawk
model won an industry award for design, setting the
stage for a second hundred years of Gibson quality
and innovation.
