Gibson guitars at Lauzon Music
What Gibson is known for
Orville Gibson built his earliest-known instrument in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1894, and the company that carries his name gave players the Les Paul, the SG, the ES-335 and the J-45. Gibson electrics have been handcrafted in Nashville since 1975. The acoustics come from Gibson's own shop in Bozeman, Montana.
The models we carry
What's on the wall changes week to week, and a lot of it is Custom Shop. See every Gibson electric in stock, the acoustics, or browse the current range in the Catalogue. The Custom Shop pieces also have their own page.
- Les Paul. Mahogany and maple, two humbuckers, from Gibson's regular line up to Custom Shop reissues
- SG. The thinner, double-cut solid body, with easy access to the top frets
- ES-335. The semi-hollow, with a centre block under the pickups
- J-45. Gibson's round-shoulder dreadnought, built in Bozeman
What a Gibson costs
Gibson guitars on our wall run from about $3,800 to $35,000 today. The top of that range is Custom Shop and vintage. Parts, strings and straps sit well below it, on the same page.

Questions
Gibson questions, answered
Where are Gibson guitars made?

What's the difference between a Gibson and a Gibson Custom Shop guitar?
The regular Gibson line covers the Original, Modern and Artist collections.

Lauzon Music carries both, and the Custom Shop guitars have their own page.
