The history of Gibson custom

An American icon at the heart of sound

Since 1902, Gibson has been shaping the history of the guitar with instruments that have become legends. From the Les Paul to the SG, and the ES-335, the brand has accompanied the greatest names in rock, blues, and jazz: Jimmy Page, Slash, B.B. King, Angus Young…

Founded in 1993, the Gibson Custom Shop continues this tradition by recreating the most iconic models with historical accuracy while offering premium customization options.

The Gibson Custom Experience: warmth, power, and elegance

The Gibson Custom Shop stands out for its craftsmanship rooted in the brand’s heritage, with extreme attention to materials, construction, and tone.

Traditional lutherie

Solid mahogany bodies, flamed or figured maple tops, set necks for exceptional sustain and natural resonance.

Legendary pickups

PAF, Burstbucker, Custombucker… each pickup is designed to deliver the warmth and power of the Gibson sound, with unmatched harmonic richness.

Luxurious finishes

Hand-applied nitrocellulose lacquer, multi-ply binding, mother-of-pearl inlays — every detail reflects exceptional craftsmanship.

Historical accuracy

The Historic Collection faithfully reproduces 1950s and 1960s models down to the smallest details (neck profile, glue type, vintage wiring).

High-end customization

Choice of woods, finishes, neck profiles, and electronics — each guitar can be designed as a unique piece.

Gibson is the guitar of character, sustain, and emotion — a work of art crafted for both stage and studio.
