Frequently Asked Questions – Gibson Guitars at Musicmaker
Q: Are Gibson guitars worth the investment?
Absolutely. Gibson guitars aren’t just instruments—they’re cultural icons. Crafted in the USA with top-tier tonewoods, hand-wired electronics, and decades of innovation, a Gibson is a lifetime companion that holds its value—and often appreciates.
Q: What’s the difference between the Les Paul Special and the Standard?
The Les Paul Special is a stripped-back, raw rock machine with P-90 pickups and a slab mahogany body—great for grit, growl, and vintage attitude. The Les Paul Standard adds a carved maple top, humbuckers, and deluxe appointments for a warmer, fuller, more versatile sound.
Q: Is the ES-335 a jazz guitar or a rock guitar?
Both. That’s the genius of the ES-335. It blends the warmth and resonance of a hollowbody with the feedback control and bite of a solidbody. From B.B. King to Dave Grohl, its range is enormous.
Q: What makes the SG such a rock classic?
Its ultra-lightweight design, dual humbuckers, and fiery tone make it a natural for fast leads and big riffs. Paired with a slim taper neck and devilish double cutaway, it screams rock and roll.
