GIBSON GUITARS AUSTRALIA
Gibson guitars was founded in Michigan USA in 1902 by Orville Gibson, who originally produced mandolins. In 1918, Orville sadly passed away and designer Lloyd Loar took over design, creating the famous L-5 archtop and the F-5 mandolin, models that define the unique, beautiful look and feel of Gibson acoustic instruments & all Gibson acoustic guitars that you see today in our Coleman's music stores in Melbourne & Lynbrook, and our online shop!
THE GIBSON LES PAUL
It's not until 1952 where most people pickup the Gibson guitar history, when they released the Gibson Les Paul, a solid-body electric guitar inspired by Les Paul himself, a Jazz guitarist that was relatively famous on the scene. The Gibson Les Paul standard is still one of the world's most famous electric guitar designs, carrying the Les Paul legacy for generation to come.
