Gibson makes so many great guitars, I could NEVER be satisfied with only one. I grew-up near the former Gibson Kalamazoo factory, and many of us guitar players highly coveted Gibsons, and worked many long hours to own them. So after nearly 60 years since my 1st Gibson Melody Maker, I've owned and played a very long list of them. My favorites have included standard production, Limited Production, USA and Custom Shop models like the 335s, 336s, 137, SGs, the LP Specials, Class 5 LPs (stunningly beautiful), LP Standards, the Night Hawk, Blues Hawk, and more, lol. The Gibson name and heritage are known world wide, and have stood the test of time! (I was blown away to see a guitarist playing a Gibson in the African dessert, lol.) Long live Gibson!
for me neck profile is the most important factor in buying a guitar. a chunky 50's style neck is my preferred choice. I have an sg std 61 but my hand cramps up after about 15 minutes so i dont use it often, same with my BFG with the 60's style neck.
i'm a Gibson guy but my Gibson has 25.5 inch scale, Firebird pickup, a single coil, a slanted humbucker with 5 way switch and a push pull knob. I probably don't belong here but i love my Nighthawk Standard 3.
They should be, but I think a) Gibson have been known to whack mini hums in no-holes covers as a "that'll do" compromise for Firebirds in not too distant memory, and b) this video is clearly aimed at relative newcomers and I suspect they don't want to chuck too much confusing detail in there.
How about a feature on Gibson lefties? They're getting harder to find, and fewer models offered, so what does Gibson still do for the left handed guitar and bass players out there?
I'm thinking either an ES or Ebony Songwriter for the same and different reasons. Luckily, I live in Nashville and can hopefully go to the Gibson Garage and play with both! Can only afford one though.
My 60s Style Neck Gibson Les Paul - by deciphering the S/N: 017 460 345, I determined it was made on 23 June 2006 (174th day of the year) and it was the 345th guitar made on that day.
I ordered my new Gibson last Summer. Left handed 355 (this ain’t a typo, it’s a 3-5-5) in Vintage Natural. It will be ready for collection from GuitarGuitar Epsom in August 2024.

@@gibson man huge disappointment. I ordered one right when they came out, i was so excited, cancelled it days later that price is outrageous. I tried to justify it for days 1699 is just too far out of the ballpark for an epiphone. I'm sure its great but if I'm going to pay that much I want something not made in china.
My new Gibson LP JR I bought 4 months ago was dry as a bone. It was ok after I conditioned it and let it set overnight. I too, am curious why they don't condition them during assembly or prior to putting on the strings.
Gibson, i need you guys to go on a campaign against G&L CS to convince them that nobody will pay $3,400 for a G&L because they'd rather get a Gibson for that price .. this way they'll lower their prices so i can afford a Rampage. I'll pay you back by uploading a review about why i regret buying a Rampage instead of a Gibson Explorer
Yeah, if you cant afford a 1,600 to 2,000 Gibson ya might want to find a better paying job. Also, there are 12 and 18 month interest free financing. So yes, there is one for every budget. Also, if you want an American made guitar you have to pay more. Or you can keep buying your subpar made overseas or south of the border guitars.
So, how much do you think they should sell em for? Do the math on inflation and compare 50s and 60s prices to today and you will find they are in line. You have an issue with inflation, stop voting demoncrat and stop blaming the manufacturers. @@mikeymiller72792
I just want to buy a white 80's Explorer but you won't let me. Got burned literally this morning with the "Notify Me" email and it's out of stock again before I can even wake up.
I’m totally cranky-nerding out but Firebird pickups are NOT mini-humbuckers! Does THAT particular custom shop have mini humbuckers (and if so, why is it a good example of a Firebird?), or is the official Gibson guy talking out of his ass?!? This is not nearly the big deal I’m making it out to be so feel free to ignore me, Gibson guy. We all make mistakes. The Firebird pickup is just my favorite and this is the internet 🧐
@@mangomango6746 gibson is not a cult ... these are tools ... the working musician is getting away of gibson because of the ridiculous prices and the not to modern standart features
No one knows they're an Explorer player until they own one. They are sneaky comfortable and well balanced. Never touched one and then picked one up at a store and it was added to the arsenal quickly. You just can't beat Gibson's Classic White. 🤌
