Gibson Electric Guitars are based in Nashville, Tennessee and were founded by Orville Gibson in the late 1890s. Gibson invented archtop guitars using the same style of carved tops found on violins.

In the 1930s Gibson expanded to flat top acoustic guitars and the world's first hollow-body electric guitars. Twenty years later, they unveiled their first solid-body electric guitar, the Gibson Les Paul. Les Paul and Gibson SG guitars define the sound of rock-n-roll and Gibson's appeal has spanned more than four decades of music. Gibson electric guitars have been played by musicians from Jimmy Page, Slash, Mark Knopfler, Paul Kossoff, Gary Moore to Joe Bonamassa, and of course Angus.
