A grand icon of guitars - Gibson's legacy stretches back to the 1930s, building guitars in the iconic 225 Parsons Street, Kalamazoo facility. In 1952, Gibson introduced its first solid-body electric guitar, the Les Paul, and the rest was history. Whether you're looking for an ES-335, or a Wes Montgomery L-5, you know you're playing a part in history when you own a Gibson guitar.
