Gibson Electric Guitars

Gibson electric guitars hold the claim for being the first commercially successful electric guitar introduced into the market in 1936. from this model, many more were fashioned, the most popular being the Les Paul series named after the accomplished jazz musician, Les Paul, who was an electronics inventor and one of the pioneers in solid body guitar technology. The Les Paul series is the most famous line of Gibson electric guitars.

Gibson electric guitars have many signature features and characteristics, starting with an asymmetrical neck profile making it one of the most comfortable and playable necks ever offered. This neck also features a larger neck tenon for maximum wood contact between the neck and the body. Gibsons are also recognized for their glued-in necks, a contrast to Fender’s bolt-on neck joints. The Gibson solid Body Electric guitar has a more traditionally curved body shape as well. Other characteristics unique to Gibson include the fact that the Les Paul strings are mounted on the top of the guitar body, not through the body. One of the easiest ways to identify a Gibson electric guitar is simply by picking it up and holding it. Gibsons are knows for their heavy weight. The Gibson electric guitar is one of the thickest solid body styles ever made. The company claims that the thickness of the guitar along with the kinds of woods used contribute to its weight, a factor they say creates a warmer tone than other electric guitars.

Spanning from their signature Les Paul series that originally included two models, the regular model and the custom model, the Gibson Company produced numerous additional models. The Les Paul series models were targeted for every level of payer and every level of price except for the true beginner. The novice guitarist market was filled with the Melody Maker model and then the Junior design. Other well-known models include the Standard series, the Deluxe and Studio series, and even the Gibson Robot guitar, a model that can tune itself by simply pulling out the master control knob and strumming the strings.

Famous Gibson electric guitar players include Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Jimmy Page, Scott Gorham, Brian Robertson, Duane Allman, Ace Freshley, Pete Townsend, Angus Young, Frank Zappa and Tony Iommi, to name just a few! If you choose a Gibson electric guitar, you will definitely be in good company!

The only real disadvantage to having a Gibson electric guitar is with the plethora of copies and imitations that have saturated the market. If you want to stay true to the Gibson name and own a guitar that is authentically a Gibson original innovation, then you must be aware of copies and imitations. You can usually spot a “fake” if you know the features of a “true” Gibson electric guitar and carefully inspect any guitar before you buy it.

Electric Guitar Electronics – Gibson Gear – IM57A-NH $109.99 BurstBuckerTM pickups from Gibson Gear now give guitarists a choice of three replica sounds from Gibson’s original Patent Applied For pickups – the pickups that give the ‘59 Les Paul Standard its legendary sound. The three BurstBuckers – all with unpolished magnets and non-potted coils, like the originals – represent the variations found among vintage Gibson humbuckers.The initial demand for Patent Applied For replica pickups came from Japanese collectors, and the BurstBuckerTM was offered exclusively in Japan beginning in 1996. By 1999 word has spread of the unique replica tones produced by BurstBuckersTM. Gibson USA put the first BurstBuckersTM on a production model with the Gary Moore Signature Les Paul in the Summer of 2000, and Gibson’s Custom division then equipped the Class 5 Les Paul, Custom Authentic ‘68 Les Paul Custom and Custom Authentic ‘58 Les Paul Standard models with BurstBuckersTM.The variations in pickup output and tone came from inconsistencies in winding the bobbins, a result of the lack of automatic shutoffs on Gibson’s winding machines in the late 1950s. Seth Lover, who invented the humbucker, always said they wound the bobbins until they were full, and original examples suggest that employees stopped the winding machines after the counter reached approximately 5000 turns. When the two coils in a pickup have a different number of turns, that variation puts a little edge or bite on the classic humbucker sound. That’s the sound BurstBuckersTM replicate. (The creamy sound that Gibson’s ‘57 Classics replicate comes from equal coil windings.) Gibson then carries the replication process two steps farther, with unpolished Alnico II magnets and no wax-potting of the coils, just like the originals. (IM57A) is slightly underwound, with medium vintage output, and works well in both bridge and neck positions.Gibson BurstBucker #1 IM57A-NH Humbucker Pickup Nickel cover.
