Since the electric guitar debuted, the most radical designs ever seen have come from Gibson. From the eye-popping Flying V and Explorer, to the sleek and ultra-cool Firebird—inspired by the fins and lines of classic American muscle cars—to the stripped down and innovative guitars of today and tomorrow, the Designer series guitars represent Gibson’s commitment to staying one step ahead. From metal to punk to the deepest blues, some of the most distinctive and innovative players of all time have chosen these instruments to express themselves—and to change music forever.
