With a diverse catalog of acoustic and electric guitars, basses, and pro audio, a Gibson will continue to deliver the same quality and performance to you as they have for countless others throughout history.
Gibson Instruments: Set the Stage for Your Next Musical Revolution
For over 100 years, Gibson has been the name behind some of the most iconic instruments in music history. From Les Pauls that rewrote the rulebook on rock to J-200 acoustics that defined singer-songwriter vibes, Gibson guitars have shaped every corner of the music world. At American Musical Supply, we've assembled a lineup of Gibson's finest electric guitars, acoustic guitars, basses, and mandolins, all built for players who demand exceptional tone, playability, and timeless style.

Gibson USA Electric Guitars: Iconic for a Reason
Gibson USA electric guitars are the gold standard in rock, blues, and just about every genre that cranks up the volume. At the heart of the lineup is the legendary Les Paul, a guitar so iconic it's practically synonymous with the term "electric guitar." With its warm sustain and unmistakable curves, it's no wonder it's a favorite of heavyweights like Slash and Jimmy Page.
And then there's the SG, a lean, mean rock machine with its signature double-cutaway "devil horns" that scream attitude — just ask Angus Young. If you're after something with a bit more flair, Gibson's Designer Series guitars, like the Flying V or Explorer, bring a bold stage presence without sacrificing that signature Gibson sound.
Acoustic Gibson Guitars: Folk-Infused Friends and Legendary Classics
Acoustic Gibson guitars are like old friends — dependable, full of character, and always ready to tell a great story. The J-45, known as "The Workhorse," has been a stage and studio staple since the '40s, with a warm, balanced tone that feels as at home in a smoky dive bar as it does at a sold-out theater. It's no-frills, all soul.
For those moments when only a “jumbo” statement will do, there's the SJ-200. This "King of the Flat-Tops" doesn't just project sound; it commands attention. Between the super jumbo shape and the iconic mustache bridge, it's an acoustic that looks as bold as it sounds. And for the songwriter in all of us, the Songwriter Series blends Gibson's acoustic heritage with modern durability. With acoustic Gibson guitars, every chord has a little history and a lot of heart.
The Gibson Custom Shop: The Best of the Best
The Gibson Custom Shop is where vintage mystique collides with modern artistry, creating guitars that feel like they've lived 10 lifetimes before you even strum your first chord.

Pick one up and step right into rock history.
If your style demands something outside the box, the Custom Shop Original Series offers showpiece builds with exotic woods, detailed inlays, and otherworldly finishes. It's all on the table.
Custom Gibson Mary Ford Les Paul Standard Gold Top
In 1951, Mary Ford and Les Paul put their stamp on the ES-295 hollowbody with a custom request that quickly became a Mary favorite. By 1958, rumor has it, a one-off Les Paul Gold Top was made just for Mary Ford, featuring an ES-295-style floral pickguard and matching armrest. Today, Gibson celebrates that unique piece of history with the Mary Ford Les Paul Standard, inspired by the elusive original. Want the full story? Check out this quick video!

The History of Gibson: A Legacy Still Unfolding
The story of Gibson begins in 1894 in a humble Kalamazoo workshop, where Orville Gibson unleashed his revolutionary one-piece mandolin design on the world. His bold approach brought strength and tone unlike anything else at the time, paving the way for the Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Mfg. Co. to blossom in the early 1900s. Visionaries like Lloyd Loar then joined the ranks, shaping masterpieces like the L-5 guitar and F-5 mandolin — futuristic at the time, now recognized as priceless classics.
Fast-forward to the early '50s when Gibson teamed up with Les Paul and upended the music scene with the first solid-body electric guitar. The Les Paul Standard, SG, ES-335, and those coveted PAF humbuckers further sealed Gibson's fate as an iconic force in music history. More than a hundred years on, Gibson continues to challenge what's possible, leaving an indelible mark on every style it touches.
Frequently Asked Questions: Gibson Guitars
If you'd like to learn more about Gibson guitars, please check out our helpful FAQ for more insights.
Are Gibson guitars only for rock and blues players?
Not at all! While Gibson has deep roots in rock and blues, their instruments are versatile enough for jazz, country, folk, and even pop. Models like the ES-335 are jazz staples, while acoustics like the SJ-200 shine in country and singer-songwriter genres.
How do Gibson pickups affect tone?
Gibson pickups, like the legendary PAF humbuckers, are designed to enhance your guitar's tonal versatility. Humbuckers provide warm, full-bodied sounds with reduced noise, while single-coil pickups offer crisp, articulate tones. Swapping pickups can dramatically change your guitar's voice.
Are Gibson guitars beginner-friendly?
While Gibson guitars are often associated with seasoned players, many models are excellent for beginners. The smooth neck profiles, comfortable fretboards, and reliable hardware make them approachable for any skill level — and they'll grow with you as your playing improves. Epiphone offers the same iconic Gibson models at a more beginner-friendly price tag.
