Gibson Custom is the pinnacle of Gibson design, delivering the most coveted instruments on earth. Handcrafted in the USA using generations of old techniques that defined guitar making, Gibson Custom is the crown jewel of the industry. 1955 NAMM Show Commemorative Edition Les Paul Gibson Custom is proud to introduce the 1955 NAMM Show Commemorative Edition Les Paul, celebrating the 70th anniversary of the five custom color Gibson Les Pauls that were displayed at the 1955 NAMM Show. Gibson displayed these five distinctive Les Paul™ models at the 1955 NAMM Show--which was held in Chicago, IL--with each guitar finished in one of five custom metallic nitrocellulose lacquer car finishes–Samoa Beige, Copper Iridescent, Nugget Gold, Platinum, and Viceroy Brown. In addition to their custom metallic finishes, they were outfitted with no-wire ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridges and Stop Bar tailpieces. These bridges were first introduced on the Gibson Super 400 in 1953 and were used on the 1954 Les Paul Custom, but they made their first appearance on a standard Les Paul model with the five guitars that were displayed at the 1955 NAMM Show. These distinctive-looking and historically notable Les Pauls were made in extremely limited numbers, and the whereabouts of only a few are known today. This special run is limited to only 70 guitars in each of the custom colors, with the custom metallic nitrocellulose lacquer car finishes expertly recreated by Gibson for the first time ever. Each of these guitars features historically accurate 1955 specifications, including a lightweight one-piece mahogany body and a hide glue-fitted two-piece plain maple cap. Even the color matched Speed knobs replicate the knobs on the guitars that were shown at the 1955 NAMM Show. The one-piece mahogany neck has a long neck tenon, a 1950s Chunky D-Shape neck profile, and an Indian rosewood fretboard that has 22 historic narrow/tall frets, a 12” fretboard radius, and is adorned with aged cellulose nitrate trapezoid inlays. The headstock features a period-correct “low logo” holly headstock veneer and is equipped with a nylon nut and single line, single ring Kluson® tuners, and has a historical 1955 limited run serial number on the back. The pickups are a pair of cream-covered Custom Shop P-90 Soapbars that are hand-wired to 500k CTS® potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors. Each guitar in this limited edition also features Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of light play wear, giving these guitars the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era. A brown/pink Lifton™ five-latch case is also included to complete the authentic vintage ownership. Highly collectible, only 70 of the 1955 NAMM Show Commemorative Edition Les Paul guitars from Gibson Custom will be made in each of the five colors, for a total of 350 guitars. Explore the 1955 NAMM Show Commemorative Edition Les Paul guitars from Gibson Custom: HERE. https://www.gibson.com/en-US/p/Electric-Guitar/1955-NAMM-Show-Commemorative-Edition-Les-Paul/Samoa-Beige Gibson: Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2025, our Gibson USA electric factory located at our headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee, has been shaping sound across genres and is played by the most influential guitarists across generations. Innovators of the electric solid body guitar and the aspiration of players around the world. Les Paul Standard 50s Double Trouble The Les Paul Standard 50s Double Trouble delivers all of the features and performance of our regular Les Paul 50s models, but with even more vintage appeal. All of the standard features that make Les Paul Standard 50s models so widely loved are present here, including a sold non weight relieved mahogany body with an AA Figured maple top and a rounded 50s Vintage-style mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard, 22 medium jumbo frets, and trapezoid inlays. These limited-run Les Paul models differ from our standard Les Paul Standard 50s models in two respects. First, the Burstbucker 1 and Burstbucker 2 pickups are left uncovered, and each has Double Classic White bobbins—handcrafted in the Gibson Pickup Shop--and is fitted with the standard Alnico 2 magnets. The second difference is in the finish as the colors are “Vintage” variations on our standard nitrocellulose lacquer finishes. Our standard gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finishes represent the finishes on the brand new models from the 1950s, while the full gloss nitrocellulose lacquer Vintage finishes on the Les Paul Standard 50s Double Trouble models are slightly faded, like the subtly faded light vintage aging that occurs over several years, and the burst patterns vary somewhat from guitar to guitar as each is individually hand-sprayed. The Les Paul Standard 50s Double Trouble are limited to 500 guitars each in Vintage Cherry Sunburst and Vintage Tobacco Burst. Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble Likewise, the Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble delivers all of the features and performance of our regular Les Paul 60s models, but with even more vintage appeal. All the standard features that make the Les Paul Standard 60’s models so widely loved are still here, including a solid, non-weight relieved mahogany body with a AA figured maple top and a Slim Taper profile mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard, 22 medium jumbo frets and trapezoid inlays. Thees limited run Les Paul models differ from our standard Les Paul Standard 60s models in two respects. First, the Burstbucker 61R and Burstbucker 61T humbucker pickups are left uncovered, and each has Double Classic White bobbins and is fitted with Alnico 5 magnets. The second difference is the finish. The colors are “Vintage” variations on our standard nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Our standard gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finishes represent the finishes on brand new models from the 1960s, while the full-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer Vintage finishes on the Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble models are slightly faded when compared to the standard versions, like the subtly faded light vintage aging that occurs over several years, additionally, the burst patterns vary somewhat from guitar to guitar since each is individually hand-sprayed. The Les Paul Standard 60’s Double Trouble are limited to 500 guitars each in Vintage Cherry Sunburst and Vintage Tobacco Burst. Warren Haynes Les Paul Standard Warren Haynes is highly regarded for his work in rock, blues, and Americana music with the Allman Brothers Band, as a founding member of Gov’t Mule, as a session guitarist and sideman for numerous famous friends and groups, as the leader of The Warren Haynes Band, and as a solo artist. A master of multiple styles and genres, Warren has also shared his expertise with other players via multiple instructional videos. A self-described “Gibson man,” Warren has used several Gibson models throughout the years, including his cherished ’61 ES-335, among others. The Warren Haynes Les Paul Standard is another standout, with features tailored specifically to Warren’s preferences, including a mahogany body with a plain maple cap topped with a 60s Cherry finish, just like his cherished ’61 ES-335, a mahogany neck with a chunky 50s vintage neck profile, like all of Warren’s favorite Les Pauls, and much more. Bearing the traditional looks and feel of a 50’s-era Les Paul coupled with modern features like hum-free P-90 DC pickups and an on board clean boost, the Gibson Warren Haynes Les Paul Standard bridges modern and traditional and is a great choice for players who, like Warren, want both a traditional appearance and modern functionality in one outstanding guitar. Gibson Custom Acoustic – Murphy Lab: 1936 Advanced Jumbo Gibson Custom is proud to introduce the Gibson 1936 Advance Jumbo “Heavy Aged” acoustic guitar. During a time when cultural optimism was low, Gibson dreamed up a new line of advanced instruments, and included in those models was the Advanced Jumbo. Due to low production numbers from 1936-1939, this model largely flew under the radar even though it was a supreme-sounding and performing instrument. Outfitted with a thermally aged red spruce top, rosewood back and sides, and premium Waverly tuners, the 1936 Advanced Jumbo brings back all the tone and prestige that made these such sought-after instruments by artists and collectors. It features Heavy Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Heavy Aged finish treatment, paired with heavily aged hardware, simulates decades of heavy play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era. The Gibson 1936 Advance Jumbo arrives in a stunning Vintage Sunburst, expect a heavy weather-checked finish, heavy belt buckle wear, light arm wear, and light neck wear. 1939 SJ-100 New for 2025, the Gibson Custom 1939 SJ-100 is a replica of the rare and distinctive mahogany-backed Super Jumbo 100 that was built for only a few years (circa 1939-1942). The 1939 SJ-100 Heavy Aged fully replicates the original and exceptionally rare 1939 SJ-100 guitars that are coveted by collectors and vintage Gibson experts around the world. It features a thermally aged red spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and a two piece maple neck with a rounded profile and an ebony fretboard. Other notable features include a vintage SJ-100 style firestripe pickguard, the rare, vintage “stair step” headstock design, the Gibson script headstock logo inlaid in mother of pearl, and Waverly tuners with ivoroid knobs. Crafted by the expert luthiers and craftspeople at the Gibson Custom Shop in Bozeman, Montana, the Gibson Custom 1939 SJ-100 has been artfully aged by the artisans of the Murphy Lab to give it the look and feel of a long-cherished musical companion. 1942 Banner J-45 The allure and legend of the Gibson J-45 lives on in the new Murphy Lab 1942 Banner J-45. Inspired by the holy grail of vintage acoustic instruments, luthiers in Montana meticulously crafted a J-45 just like the most popular and celebrated version in structure and components. The new 1942 Banner J-45 includes a thermally aged red spruce top hand-sprayed with a historic-style burst, hot hide glue top bracing for better tonal response, and a bone nut and saddle. It features a Heavy Aging finish by the Murphy Lab paired with heavily aged hardware that simulates decades of heavy play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era. The 1942 Banner J-45 arrives in a striking Vintage Sunburst, expect a heavy weather-checked finish, heavy belt buckle wear, light arm wear, and light neck wear. 1960 Hummingbird Introduced in 1960 as Gibson’s first square shoulder acoustic guitar, the Hummingbird arrived at the dawn of a new era in music and was rapidly embraced by the prime movers on the scene. Built with a thermally aged Sitka spruce top, the 1960 Hummingbird Heavy Aged reflects the appearance and performance of those early icons. Featuring a mahogany neck with an Indian rosewood fretboard, a fixed bone bridge, bone nut, and bone bridge pins, the famous casted hummingbird pickguard, and gold Gotoh tuners with Keystone buttons, it has been masterfully aged by the artisans of the Murphy Lab to give it the look and feel of a long-cherished musical companion. The Gibson Custom 1960 Hummingbird arrives in a beautiful Heavy Aged Washed Cherry Sunburst finish. 1963 Country Western First introduced in a square shoulder configuration in 1962, the Country Western was created as a variation of Gibson’s popular Southern Jumbo model. With the body shape of a Hummingbird, but in a Natural finish and having an unadorned tortoise pickguard, the Country Western delivers wonderful tonal quality and a unique look that has been a resounding hit with players from the moment it was first released, all the way up to the present day; it has been one of Gibson’s most requested models for reissue since the 1990s. The 1963 Country Western features a thermally-aged Sitka spruce top, a mahogany back, sides, and neck, and Indian rosewood fretboard with 20 standard frets and mother of pearl parallelogram inlays, a bone bridge, nut and bridge pins, the classic Country Western tortoise pickguard, and nickel Gotoh tuners with white buttons. The 1963 Country Western arrives in a unique Smoked Natural, Heavy Aged finish from the Murphy Lab to give it the look and feel of a well-loved, longtime musical companion. Gibson Acoustic: The trademark Gibson Acoustic sound is defined by our signature characteristics from dovetail neck to body joint, domed top, and scalloped bracing to nitro lacquer. Made in Bozeman, MT, Gibson Acoustics are the pinnacle of hand-crafted quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, beauty, and attention to detail. Gibson J-45 Special First introduced in 1942, the Gibson J-45 has remained a mainstay Gibson acoustic model. It earned the name “The Workhorse” due to its wide acceptance, no-nonsense simplicity, and understated elegance. One of the most recorded acoustic guitars in history, the Gibson J-45 is Gibson’s best-selling acoustic guitar of all time. Handcrafted with care in Bozeman, Montana, by Gibson’s expert luthiers, the new Gibson J-45 Special offers players a USA-built Gibson acoustic guitar at a very attractive price. The J-45 Special has a round shoulder body constructed using genuine solid mahogany for the back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top. The top is reinforced with our traditional scalloped X-bracing. This combination of tonewoods delivers a warn, balanced tone with excellent dynamic range that is great for any musical genre. The “concert depth” body is slightly thinner than a J-45 Standard, giving the J-45 Special a leaner and tighter bass response that sits perfectly in the mix and also makes it easier to hold. The utile neck is attached to the body with a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint, and like all Gibson acoustic guitars, it is affixed with hot hide glue. The neck has a comfortable and fast-playing Slim Taper profile, and the rosewood fretboard has a 12” radius and is adorned with simple mother-of pearl dot inlays and is fitted with 20 standard frets. The traditional belly-up rosewood bridge is equipped with a TUSQ saddle, and the nut and bridge pins are also TUSQ. High quality Grover Rotomatic tuners ensure solid tuning stability. The J-45 Special is finished in satin nitrocellulose lacquer in Satin Vintage Sunburst or Satin Wine Red. It comes with an L.R. Baggs Element Bronze Under-saddle piezo pickup with active electronics and an easily accessible soundhole-mounted volume control pre-installed studio-quality plug-and-play anywhere. Margo Price J-45 The music of multiple award-winning artist Margo Price transcends the boundaries of traditional country, Americana, and classic rock, and her Gibson J-45 acoustic has always been by her side during her rise as a top country artist. Gibson Custom’s Margo Price J-45 embodies the spirit, vision, and talent that has driven Margo to stardom and continues the nature-themed model tradition of Gibson. The Margo Price J-45 was inspired by her mid-60s J-45, a guitar she’s called “my main baby; my guitar I play all the time.” The Margo Price J-45 features a slightly thinner mahogany body with a red spruce top with traditional hand-scalloped advance X-bracing, a mahogany neck with a Rounded profile and rosewood fretboard, and Grover strap tuners with white buttons. The nut and saddle are bone and the bridge pins are TUSQ. The Margo Price J-45 also comes equipped with L.R. Baggs electronics, so it’s studio and stage ready right out of the included hardshell case. Margo was also inspired by red-tailed hawks, which feature prominently on the distinctive double 50s-style pickguards of her new signature guitar. As Margo says, “Red Tailed hawks have always been symbolic to me. I see them everywhere, and I always have, as they’re common all over the U.S., but to me, they’re otherworldly, and they always come to me in my time of need with messages of strength and perseverance. Red, as a color, relates to love, passion, and even anger, matters that we typically would associate with the heart, but if you look closely, the ends of their feathers are dipped in white, and the bird itself has a spiritual nature. When I’m on long trips, I look out the window and count them alongside the highway. They pass over me at the most kismet times, reminding me to find strength in my vulnerability, and to open up and connect with those around me. I hope this guitar will remind those who play it these lessons as well.” Epiphone: Les Paul Custom The Epiphone Les Paul Custom has been updated and is now better than ever. Part of the Inspired by Gibson Collection, it honors the 1950s-era classic that was designed by Mr. Les Paul himself in 1954 as the “tuxedo” version of his groundbreaking solidbody masterpiece. It features an all-mahogany body, a mahogany neck with a refined Modern Medium C neck profile, an ebony fretboard and pearloid block inlays and medium jumbo frets, gold hardware, including a gold Epiphone LockTone Tune-o-Matic bridge and LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece, a pair of Epiphone’s new Probucker Custom humbucker pickups, which are based on Gibson Custom’s Custombucker humbucking pickups, and a larger Custom split-diamond inlay on the headstock, a Graph Tech nut, era-appropriate wiring, and CTS potentiometers. An Epiphone premium gig bag is now included to help keep your guitar safe when not in use and when traveling. Les Paul Standard 60s Epiphone’s long friendship with Mr. Les Paul began in 1940 when Les built one of the world’s first solidbody electric guitars while working nights at the original Epiphone factory in Manhattan. Les’s first solid body guitar, nicknamed “the Log,” would go on to inspire the Les Paul Standard, which many consider the greatest electric guitar ever made. The Les Paul Standard 60s models from the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Collection recreate the look, feel and sound of the early 1960s-era Les Pauls. They feature a mahogany body with a maple cap, and the models with translucent finishes have an added AAA frame maple veneer visible through the finish for that classic “flame top” look. The mahogany neck sports a laurel fretboard with pearloid trapezoid inlays, 22 medium jumbo frets, and a fast-playing 60s SlimTaper profile. The headstock is equipped with quality Grover Rotomatic tuning machines and a Graph Tech nut for rock-solid tuning stability, so you can spend more time playing and less time tuning. The Les Paul Standard 60s is powered by a perfectly balanced set of Epiphone’s acclaimed Probucker pickups, with a Probucker 2 in the neck position, and a slightly hotter Probucker 3 in the bridge, and each pickup is wired to its own individual set of volume and tone controls that feature CTS potentiometers. Available in Blueberry Burst, Iced Tea Burst, Fuchsia, Ebony, Silver Mist and Heather Poly and packaged in a Premium Gig Bag, the Epiphone Les Paul Standard 60s is a great way to enjoy an authentic Les Paul playing experience at an accessible price.

In partnership with Gibson Acoustic in Bozeman, Montana, Epiphone is proud to release a new version of this player-favorite guitar. The Epiphone J-180 LS is packed with premium features, including a thermally aged solid spruce top with scalloped X bracing, solid mahogany back and sides, a one-piece mahogany neck with a 25.5” scale length, C-profile, laurel fretboard, and the iconic “star” mother of pearl inlays that the model is so well known for. The compensated saddle, bridge pins, and nut are bone, and the headstock features the world-famous Gibson-style “open book” headstock shape, with the Epiphone logo and headstock star proudly displayed in mother of pearl.

MESA/Boogie: MESA/Boogie® is the original boutique Home of Tone, hand-crafting amplifiers of uncompromising quality from the world’s finest materials in Petaluma, California, USA. 90s Dual Rectifier A faithful recreation of the tube amp that redefined high gain and provided much of the soundtrack of a generation, the new MESA/Boogie 90s Dual Rectifier arrives with some welcome upgrades. Built by the same artisans who made them 30 years ago, the 90s Dual Rectifier amplifiers are an original icon. The MESA/Boogie Dual Rectifier Solo Head’s arrival in 1992 was a watershed moment for alternative rock and metal that changed everything; heavy music would never sound the same again, and the Dual Rectifier’s crushing, harmonically rich tone became the most sought-after guitar sound of the era. With a feel as empowering as its sound, the Rectifiers provided an ease of playing that supported and elevated proficiency and was inspirational, rewarding, and addictive. Its sound and impact on the generation that used it to define what rock music would become were as sweeping as they have been lasting. And it remains arguably the most modeled in today’s digital amp landscape. Now, the 90s Dual Rectifier is back with a vengeance, built in Petaluma, California, by the same artisans who made the originals the most desirable high-gain guitar amplifier of all time. Explore the new MESA/Boogie 90s Dual Rectifier HERE. https://www.mesaboogie.com/en-US/p/Amp/90s-Dual-Rectifier/2-DR2B-3-A and watch/share the interview and full demo of the 90s Dual Rectifier with Doug West, Director, Tone Lab, Gibson Amplifiers/MESA/Boogie, and Tommy Waugh, Product Manager, Gibson Amplifiers/MESA/Boogie HERE.

Now back in production, it’s time to plug into one of the most-recorded electric guitar amplifiers in history. Explore the new MESA/Boogie Mark IIC+ HERE. https://www.mesaboogie.com/en-US/p/Amp/Mark-IIC-plus-1x12-Combo/1-MCP-AB-CO and watch/share the interview Doug West and Tommy Waugh HERE. Gibson Amplifiers: Dual Falcon Amplifier Focusing on great sound, simplicity, and ease of use, the new Gibson Falcon Amplifiers pay homage to the 1960s Falcons and offer the versatility demanded on modern stages and home studios with exceptional build quality, quiet operation, and voicings that will captivate and delight players. As Gibson proudly returned to the guitar amplifier arena last year, the Dual Falcon 20 2x10 combo amplifier—which joins the Falcon 5 and Falcon 20—is a versatile addition to the Gibson Amplifier lineup that is inspired by vintage Gibson amplifiers, yet reimagined for today’s player, delivering vintage tone in an upgraded 2-channel offering with Loop and Power Switching alongside valuable new features and all of the original magic intact. The Dual Falcon 20 2x10 combo revives the Gibson amplifier as the icon it is as perfect tonal enhancements update the sound and feel, with a wider, more usable range on the sparse controls, and lush traditional spring Reverb adds dimension and broadens stylistic horizons. The original smooth-sounding Tremolo adds further vibe while selectable output power options expand the versatility with options of Full, Half, or Low power modes in this new 2- channel model. In addition, a buffered series Effects Loop opens up more processing options to complete the outfitting for performance applications. These updates allow the new Dual Falcon 20 2x10 combo to soar even higher above the most prized vintage Gibson examples. The Gibson Dual Falcon amplifiers are available in both Combo Cream Bronco Vinyl with Oxblood Grille, and the striking Surf Bronco with Bone Grille colors. All Gibson Falcon Amplifiers are handcrafted in Petaluma, California and are available worldwide.

Reintroducing the Tobias Classic IV, Classic V, Growler IV, Growler V, Killer B IV, and Killer B V crafted from the finest tonewoods, these Tobias models features a 34” scale, 5-piece stringer neck through-body made from hard maple and purpleheart. Tobias is now back for a limited run of the iconic models that made Tobias famous. Kramer: 1983 Baretta Reissue, Made in Japan New from Kramer in 2025 is the 1983 Baretta Reissue, Made in Japan. In 1983, the Kramer Baretta was first introduced to the world. Few models can claim to have changed the course of musical history, but that is exactly what the Baretta did when it was embraced by a new generation of highly innovative hard rock and metal guitarists. The wildly successful Baretta was the perfect platform for their fretboard pyrotechnics, and its success was a big contributor to Kramer becoming the most popular guitar brand in the world by the mid-1980s. With its double cutaways maple body providing excellent sustain and unimpeded fretboard access, the powerful simplicity of its single Seymour Duncan ’59 pickup paired with a single volume control, and an Original Floyd Rose tremolo with R5 locking nut that stays in tune under even the most demanding wiggle stick acrobatics, it is still the quintessential hard rock and metal guitar that is Made to Rock Hard. This faithful reissue of the groundbreaking 1983 Baretta was lovingly crafted in Japan to vintage specifications and comes with a certificate of authenticity and a Kramer hardshell case.
