Gibson

Gibson Guitars dominate the rock'n roll alphabet of performers from Duane Allman to Frank Zappa. Since visionary luthier Orville Gibson began building mandolin-guitars in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1902, the guitar models have been at the heart of modern music.

The 'King of the Delta Blues' Robert Johnson said he was taught to play his L-1 acoustic by the Devil who visited him one night, took the guitar and showed him some songs at the Dockery Plantation in Mississippi. Johnson's catalogue of only 29 songs inspired an entire generation of musicians that fills the pantheon of 20th Century popular music.

Bob Dylan plays a signature Gibson SJ-200; the Edge from U2 works with a series of models from the 1976 Explorer to a Les Paul Custom 1983. The British Pop revolution of the 1960s is largely played on Gibson guitars – from Johnson's inspiration.

The Beatles, The Stones and the enigmatic Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac wove the themes of modern pop and rock on Gibsons. Woody Guthrie even wrote on his Southern Jumbo L-O 'this machine kills fascists'.

The Gibson legacy certainly maintains it’s air of guitar majesty and mysticism to this day maintaining its leading spot in the market for their unequivocal standard in tone, craft and that special ‘vibe’ that has carried through the history of the instruments, and the profound music that owes much of it’s spirit to these guitars.

Gibson Explorer Sammy Hagar Red Rocker Signature

A Rocking Signature Explorer! Gibson dedicated this iconic Explorer Signature electric guitar to Sammy Hagar who rocked endless stages for decades. The Red Rocker Explorer has solid mahogany body and neck, a rosewood fingerboard and two uncovered zebra pickups which work so well in our opinion. The '57 Classic in the neck position is warm and bluesy while the BurstBucker 3 in the Bridge is a rock machine. While being a really versatile axe, due to its somewhat out-there appearance this instrument might not be everyone's choice. But if you are a collector, or if the colour red does not scare, take a spin on the Gibson Explorer Sammy Hagar Red Rocker Signature. Expect the search to be a little hard though, as only 250 of them were made.
