Create the instrument of your dreams with the artisans of Gibson Custom

What Is The Gibson Custom Made To Measure Program?

The artisans of the Gibson Custom Shop locations in Nashville, Tennessee, and Bozeman, Montana, handcraft the world’s most desirable electric and acoustic guitars. Our talented team takes great pride in uniting players with their dream guitar, and on those rare occasions when our catalog or Limited Edition instruments aren’t exactly what you are looking for, the Gibson Custom Made to Measure program is designed to offer our most discerning customers the personalized comfort of an instrument tailored to their individual needs.

The Gibson Custom Made to Measure program offers an expanded selection of options on our most sought-after guitars, giving you the opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind, heirloom instrument handcrafted to your personal specifications, right down to the last detail.

A World Of Possibilities

Perhaps you’ve always loved the idea of a weight-relieved ’57 Goldtop with a SlimTaper neck profile. Or maybe you want us to color-match the metallic blue paint job from your very first car. Whatever you dream up, using one of our iconic Gibson models as a starting point, working directly with the artisans from the Gibson Custom Shop locations in Nashville and Bozeman, our Garage Pros and approved Gibson Custom dealers will guide you through the Made to Measure process and help you make it a reality. Gibson Custom Made to Measure delivers an unrivaled customer service experience and a one-of-a-kind guitar that is uniquely yours and like no other.

From Tennessee To Montana

At the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, every day is a new thrill. Down the road from the main Gibson craftory, Gibson Custom luthiers build our most coveted instruments with uncompromising craftsmanship, artistry, and historical accuracy. No detail is too fine, no labor too intensive. Our expert craftspeople develop, build, and custom-age each guitar with the obsession of a true aficionado.

Meanwhile, at the Gibson Acoustic Custom Shop in Bozeman, we continue our tradition of acoustic instrument-making that dates back more than 130 years. The world has changed, but the art has stayed much the same: we still get our clear, rich sound from carefully chosen tonewoods, we fit each dovetail neck joint by hand, and we craft our guitars to improve with age.

How Long Does A Made To Measure Build Take?

The process of making a Gibson Custom Made to Measure guitar takes time. These are not pre-configured, off-the-shelf instruments – each Made to Measure build is unique, one-of-a-kind, and artfully crafted from premium materials specifically for the person who orders it. As a result, the custom order timeline varies depending on your choice of specifications, the level of customization, and our current workload.
