Gibson Reference Collection

---

A musical instrument is a serious investment. Your guitar is part of your look, your sound... it's your SONIC SIGNATURE! That's why it's very important to know key points about construction, electronics and setup before you purchase. You don't want to be stuck with something that you'll hate in a year, or worse, something that sounds all wrong for the style of music you play. Once you buy, proper care is crucial to the well being of your newfound prized posession. By using the Gibson Reference Collection, you're sure to enhance the long-term enjoyment of your guitar. After all, you only sound, (and look) as good as the guitar you're playing on!
