Gibson 6-String Electric Guitars
The ES-165 Herb Ellis is a classic jazz guitar based on Herb's own Gibson ES-175. A single humbuckers produces a warm jazz tone, and gold-plated metal parts create a classy look.
Blues legend B.B. King had been playing Gibsons for over 40 years when he and Gibson officially joined forges in 1982. B.B.'s personal touches on his signature model include the fine-tuner tailpiece, the semi-hollow body with no soundholes and, ...
The CS-336 represents the Custom Shop's first tonally carved guitar, and the fulfillment of a goal originally set forth over 100 years ago by Gibson founder Orville Gibson: to produce an instrument with one-piece back and sides construction. The...
The Johnny A. Signature model combines several innovative design aspects with loads of vintage Gibson appointments. The completely hollow body features contoured outer surfaces but a flat inner back, resulting in less feedback and bright, snappy...
Even though Gibson had orginally created the laminated top ES-175 in 1948 to fill the need for an electric version of the acoustic, carved top L-4C, the demand still existed for an electric L-4 with a fully carved top. In the late 1950's Gibson ...

Glam meets metal with a 21st century twist. The full mirror pickguard of the New Century series on the instantly recognized Flying V body. Let ‘em know you’re there to rock from the second you hit the stage.
The Explorer’s radical body shape debuted in 1958 and was almost 20 years ahead of its time. Not until the late 1970s did rock and roll’s most daring guitarists embrace the Explorer, and that classic 1976 styling is captured on today’s X-Plorer.
They won’t believe their eyes. New Century mirror flash with the still-radical Explorer body shape delivers knockout stage presence for even the toughest crowds.
The ES-335 brought hollowbody tradition and solidbody performance together in 1958, and it is still one of the all-time classic guitar designs.
The original ES-345 debuted in 1959 in response to demand for an upgrade on the revolutionary new semi-hollowbody design of the ES-335, with the Vari-tone electronics and double-parallelogram inlay. Some things never change. The demand for the E...
The ES-137 Classic combines 2 classics -- the look of Gibson's single-cutaway semi-hollowbody guitars and the hot sound of a Gibson Les Paul Classic. The 490R and $98T humbucking pickups, plus trapezoid fingerboard inlays with an engraved "C" in...

The ES-175 debuted in 1949. With a comfortable body size and stylish pointed cutaway, it quickly became the most popular guitar of the jazz world.
As Larry Carlton has shown throughout his multi-faceted career as a first-call session guitarist and a successful recording artist, the ES-335 is the perfect guitar for any musical setting. The Larry Carlton signature model features all the pers...
The original Explorer of 1958 was more radically modernistic than its famous cousin, the Flying V. Musicians finally caught up with the Explorer in 1976, and today's Explorer revives the first reissue. Features include 496R/500T ceramic humbucke...
Gibson USA extends the X-Factor series with the Firebird Studio, featuring Studio finishes at an attractive price. The Gibson Firebird Studio has the classic reverse-shape body, but with a conventional set neck, mini-Grover tuners on the side of...

Performance, playability and styling are the hallmarks of the Firebird VII. When first introduced in 1965, the Firebird VII was celebrated for its natural feel, fast action and wide range of tone. With its 9-ply Mahogany and Walnut neck-thru-bod...
The Gibson Flying V '67 V Factor is a modern update of Gibson's classic axe. The original Flying V of 1958 was so far ahead of its time that even the first reissues, almost 10 years later, were only moderately successful. Finally, in the late '6...
