Ok, so what about their biggest selling model? It’s got to be the Les Paul, surely? Well no, believe it or not, the biggest-selling Gibson guitar is the humble SG. No, that would be too early (it was 1958). What about the ES-335? Here is a clue: it wasn’t November 5th, 1955 when it was announced.
But did you know the year that it was first released was 1952? Hats off to you if you did.
How well do you know your Gibson guitars?ĭo you know that Gibson’s first solidbody electric guitar was the Les Paul? Yeah, I reckon you probably did.
