Make a sonic and aesthetic statement with timeless ES designs for every style.

Since the launch of our first electric guitar model in 1936, Gibson Electric Spanish guitars have been played by icons, blurring the lines between music genres and changing the course of pop history. With a range of hollow and semi-hollow instruments to suit every style, there’s no family tree in the guitar world that covers more ground with greater elegance. At the top of that tree sits the ES-335. There’s a reason why those things are known in some circles as “Burst Killers”—the ES-335 is still the most versatile electric guitar design of all time and the perfect fusion of Gibson archtop legacy and forward-facing innovation.

Handcrafted in Nashville

Whether your ideal Electric Spanish instrument is a hollowbody ES-330 loaded with P-90 pickups or an ES Supreme adorned with a 1940s Art Deco-inspired mother-of-pearl headstock inlay from the Gibson archives, your dream guitar was handcrafted by our artisans in Nashville using a combination of cutting-edge precision and time-honored processes. Finished in nitrocellulose and shipped in a hardshell case to protect your beloved instrument on the road, whichever Gibson ES™ model you choose, you are guaranteed a musical companion for life.

The Gibson difference.

The test of time

The test of time

At every price point, we use nitrocellulose lacquer finishes on Gibson ES electric guitars that look beautiful, age gracefully, and allow our instruments to feel acoustically resonant, dynamic, and alive. Arcane processes such as binding a body the old way, by hand, and scraping the excess finish from fingerboard binding with a razor are labor-intensive and time-consuming. When you pick up a Gibson, you understand why all that extra effort is worth every second.

Homegrown tone
