Check out these amazing Gibson Custom electric and acoustic exclusives in the hands of a true virtuoso
Sometimes, Gibson can be a difficult place to work. Keep telling yourself you don't need another guitar as much as you want—guitar temptation is never very far away around here, and there's little doubt that some of the coolest and most desirable instruments cooked up by the team find their way into the Gibson Custom Select range.
You'll only find Gibson Custom Select models on Gibson.com or at our Gibson Garage locations in Nashville and London. And, if you like the idea of small-batch Gibson Custom guitars that take our iconic, time-honored designs and add a little topspin in the form of rare finishes and components, you've come to the right place.
To showcase a septet of Custom Select models, we recently invited JD Simo (one of the greatest guitar players on the planer today, as his recent sit-down with the Gibson Gear Guide proves) to stop by in Nashville and put this array of beautiful Gibson Custom instruments through its paces. Be warned: what you are about to see and hear may empty your wallet.
