Well, it's not every Saturday you get to hang out and photograph (and PLAY!) one of these!

1958 #Gibson #FlyingV. NOT a reissue. 😮

It's the rarest and most beautiful guitar I have ever had the privilege to be in the same room with for a few hours! I will never wash these hands (or eyes!) again! 😂

Another doodle we did recently: This 1947 Gibson L-7 had a few clean, but not the most visually alluring, patched holes for various controls on top, having been electrified in its lifetime. Retaining the original Blonde nitro finish and heavy bubble maple figuring on the back/sides, we had @riggioguitars shoot an era-correct burst on just the top, masking the previous repairs. And because this guitar was positively screaming at me to be more than just an acoustic git fiddle with a resprayed top, @lollarpickups was kind enough to make us an off-catalog Double McCarty pickguard assembly, a feature first debuted on the L-7 at the 1948 NAMM show. #Gibson #TedMcCarty #GibsonArchtop #VintageGibson (at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUvlnuIv0qQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

After 66 years...what the Gibson Les Paul still means today

The coming together of Ted McCarty & Les Paul in the late 1940’s after an initial rejection of Les Paul’s “The Log” a journey of inovation was embarked upon that would change the face of popular music forever.

The Gibson Les Paul has become an icon...a symbol of rebellion. You can’t think of Slash, Jimmy Page, Peter Green and so many others without thinking of a Gibson Les Paul. It’s as much of an extension of them as they it.

After 66 years it is still at the fore front of popular music...it is still ‘the’ guitar that so many players aspire to have in their arsenal. Found in bedrooms and venues around the world...will there ever be a day that a Gibson Les Paul won’t be used as a way to entertain the masses?

"PRS SC 245 Ted McCarty 10-top limited Run (2009)" Pra quem nao conhece, Ted McCarty foi uma das pessoas mais influentes na progressão das guitarras elétricas modernas como as conhecemos. Depois de deixar a Wurlitzer Company em 1948, ele atuou como presidente da Gibson durante sua era de ouro (1950-1966) e é creditado com o desenvolvimento de coisas como a ponte Tune-o-Matic, o captador humbucker e a Bigsby. Ele também é responsável por levar a produção da Gibson de 5.000 guitarras por ano para mais de 100.000 por ano, enquanto aumenta a força de trabalho de 150 funcionários para mais de 1.200 até o final de seu mandato. Além disso, ele supervisionou o desenvolvimento do ES-335, da SG, da Firebird, Explorer e Flying V (só para citar alguns). Depois de deixar a Gibson em 66, ele comprou a Bigsby Accessories e continuou como presidente por mais de 30 anos. A Edição Limitada Ted McCarty SC 245 é uma “celebração” da relação definidora entre Paul Reed Smith e Ted McCarty, e é um dos modelos favoritos de Paul até hoje.
