Gibson has experienced many ups and downs throughout its history, coming close to being bought out by Henry E Juszkiewicz and David H Berryman in 1986 after nearly going out of business.

Today, Gibson offers their Modern collection to allow more freedom with design choices – providing weight relief and advanced switching options to match any musical genre or playing style – from stadium rock to blues roots music; there is sure to be something in their Modern collection that fits you perfectly.

SG

Studio1 Gibson guitar have long been considered among the premier electric guitar models on the market. Created to compete with Fender’s Les Paul model, its iconic features like devil horns, double cutaway body design, and thinner flat top have cemented its place as one of the world’s favourite instruments since its release in 1961.

Contrasting with its Les Paul counterpart, constructed entirely out of mahogany wood, the SG guitar is constructed out of maple and other types of wood to achieve tonal variations and feature a set neck with sustained playing ability. Furthermore, rosewood or ebony fretboard material is typically utilised, and metal frets are hammered onto it.

Besides its wide usage in rock music, jazz and classical musicians also widely utilise the SG. AC/DC frontman Angus Young famously uses one with custom humbuckers from Gibson and lightning bolt inlays – giving a good example of its versatility and popularity among musicians of various musical backgrounds.

Flying V

The Studio1 Gibson guitar has long been associated with heavier genres of music. Gibson first produced its Flying V model in 1958 using a solid limba wood body with dual-coil pickups, Tune-O-Matic bridge, rosewood fingerboard, Tune-O-Matic tuner bridge, Tune-O-Matic tuner bridge and rosewood fingerboard, making this guitar particularly suitable for blues players who often played it upside-down! This 22-fret model also has a 12″ radius fretboard and features a 12″ radius fretboard; finally, its standard width of 1.695″, making this a guitar standard size across most electric models!

Jimi Hendrix and Lenny Kravitz were famous musicians who famously used V-shaped guitars, the Flying V. Its symmetrical design allows either hand to play it easily; its versatile playing capabilities also lend themselves well to blues music.

This guitar features Seymour Duncan Dave Mustaine Thrasher pickups, designed to produce more output and warmer tones than single-coil pickups. These high-gain pickups excel in hard rock or heavy metal genres but are often utilised by Jazz, Indie and R&B musicians. In addition, its 3-way pickup switch enables versatile tonal options, making this instrument great for any musical genre or style.

Firebird

The Firebird guitar from Gibson stands out with its distinct appearance. Designed by car designer Ray Dietrich who took inspiration from tailfins from 1950s cars to craft something with broad popular appeal, its unusual appearance made it perfect for rock and blues music genres; famous musicians including Eric Clapton and Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown used original Firebirds.

The Firebird features an asymmetrical set of controls at the bottom of its neck that feature vintage-style controls with two volume and master tone knobs, along with a Tune-o-Matic bridge equipped with floating nuts that makes string changing easy and maintenance-free nut made of Ivory Tusq (a material which looks and feels similar to ivory but requires no care or maintenance).

The Epiphone Firebird features a bolt-on or set-in neck connection method; Gibson prefers set-in. Furthermore, Studio1 Gibson guitar humbucking pickups give more output than its original reverse Firebird mini humbuckers, enabling this guitar to bridge the gap between Fender territory and Jimi Hendrix sounds.

Studio

Since 1983, Gibson’s Studio guitar has been an essential component of their lineup. Punk musicians such as Jade Puget from Californian rock band AFI and Frank Iero from the emo band My Chemical Romance often take advantage of its stripped-down nature to perform live with it onstage or use it during recording sessions.

Wood doesn’t make much of an impactful statement regarding sound; hardware and pickups do. Gibson-branded humbuckers give this model its signature sound; even passive pickups may provide hot tones on demand when required.
