Gibson 1962 Wilshire Reissue User Manual page 18

The very first Gibson instruments, made in 1894, introduced
the revolutionary concept of the archtop guitar, and innovation
has been a Gibson tradition ever since. Gibson is the only
company with industry-standard models in every major fretted
instrument style, including electric guitars (solidbody, semi-
hollow and hollowbody), acoustic guitars, banjos, mandolins
and resonator guitars. The history of Gibson is a history of
popular music, from the seminal jazz of Charlie Christian,
to the classic rock of Chuck Berry and the modern rock of
Jimmy Page, and on into the future with the world's first
digital guitar. Gibson's Les Paul guitar, recognized the
world over as an icon for rock and roll music, is just one
of many famous models. Check out these Gibsons and
