Gibson Electric Guitars

Gibson electric guitars are one of the most in demand items at Empire Guitars. Gibson was founded in 1902 in Kalamazoo Michigan as a producer of mandolins and arched top guitars. Gibson’s most beloved guitar resulted from their collaboration with jazz guitarist and inventor Les Paul. To this day Les Paul guitars are esteemed for their full sound, simple design and attractive carved tops. The lighter weight SG or “solid guitar” and the ES-335 (“ES” for “Electric-Spanish”) remain popular amongst rock and blues players while Gibson electric arched tops are still coveted by jazz, jump, and swing players the world over.
