Which Gibson guitars have original designs?

All of them! Gibson's designs have been copied by endless manufacturers in the decades since they've been released but Gibson were the first on the block to create guitars including the Les Paul, SG, FLying V and Explorer. These are all extremely iconic guitars and are responsible for most of the 'shape' guitars that followed. Gibson are the original.

Do Gibson make their own pickups?

They do! Gibson make a wide range of humbuckers, P90s and other pickup types. In fact, Gibson humbuckers such as the '57 Classic' are among the most revered in the market. The fabled 'PAF' tone that almost every guitarist loves refers to mid-to-late 50s Gibson humbuckers. This means that Gibson pickups are the blueprint for some of the finest pickups available. We sell a range of Gibson humbuckers as separate products for after-market retro-fitting to your guitar. These can be found in the 'Accesories' section of the website's top bar.

What are Gibson guitars made out of?

Materials differ on ocassion from model to model but the majority of solid body Gibson guitars are made from Mahogany. This is both for the necks and the bodies and contributes in a large way to why Gibsons sound the way they do. Hollow and semi-hollow Gibsons are generally made from layered Maple with solid Maple centre blocks where appropriate for the model.

What is the most popular Gibson electric guitar of all time?

It is difficult to say for sure but a number of sources, including certain articles published by Gibson themselves, indicate that the biggest selling Gibson electric guitar is the SG Standard.
