Gibson History
While working in his tiny Kalamazoo, Michigan shop on a hot summer afternoon in 1894, Orville Gibson could not have known the affect his instruments would have on the music world. Starting with strong convictions about instrument design and quality, Orville created a whole new family of guitars and mandolins and later inspired generations of craftsmen to produce some of the finest instruments the world has ever heard or seen.
