Gibson Custom Shop

Gibson Custom Shop is the specialist guitar-making division of the American manufacturer Gibson. Its range includes electric, semi-hollow and hollowbody guitars, with models based on established Gibson designs such as the Les Paul, SG and ES-335. Historic reissues sit alongside instruments such as the Les Paul Custom.

The division is known for recreating specifications and features associated with particular periods of Gibson production. Its Historic Collection includes reissues of 1950s Les Paul models and 1960s SG and ES designs. VOS finishes offer a subtly aged appearance, while Murphy Lab instruments receive artificial ageing treatments in different degrees, from lightly aged finishes to more extensive simulated wear.

Gibson Custom Shop occupies the premium end of the guitar market, serving both players and collectors. MyGear currently lists 84 products in stock at partner retailers across its electric and hollowbody guitar categories, with listed prices ranging from £199 to £8,799. This is the range of current retailer listings rather than a typical price range for complete Custom Shop guitars.
