Their first major breakthrough in electric guitar design came in 1935 with the Gibson ‘Electric Spanish’, semi-acoustic guitars now affectionately known as the ES series. However, their most successful and legendary innovation came in 1952. Enlisting the help of renowned musician Les Paul, together they created a solid body electric guitar to rival electro-acoustic guitars, including the popular J-45 and Hummingbird models.

Gibson acoustic guitars have been seen in the hands of iconic acts over the years, including the Everly Brothers and more recently Jerry Cantrell (Alice in Chains).
