In early 1965, the original Firebird™ design transitioned through several different iterations. One of the significant transitions that occurred flipped the headstock to the “Non-Reverse” shape. Unlike the original Reverse Firebird headstock design, which featured a two-layered headstock with a holly veneer, the new headstock was flat, like the bill of a platypus. The Platypus-style Firebird featured six-in-line tuners rather than the banjo-style tuners that were used on previous Firebird models. The Firebird Platypus pays tribute to those rare transitional models. It features a mahogany body with a glued-in, set neck and the appearance of a traditional neck-through Reverse Firebird body. The mahogany neck has a fast-playing SlimTaper™ profile and a rosewood fretboard with a 12” radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, and acrylic trapezoid inlays and sports the Platypus-style headstock with a Graph Tech® nut and Grover® Mini Rotomatic® tuners. The Platypus-style headstock has been slightly modified to provide straight string pull for less friction and improved tuning stability. The other ends of the strings are routed over a Nashville Tune-O-Matic™ bridge for precise intonation and solidly anchored with an aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece for outstanding sustain. The Firebird is one of the most distinctive-looking guitar designs ever, and the Firebird Platypus takes this legendary guitar a step further with its unique appearance. Its tone is just as unique due to its two articulate, historically accurate Firebird mini humbucker™ pickups. They are equipped with Alnico 5 magnets and can deliver tones with a nearly bell-like chime when played clean and great rock and blues tones that easily cut through the mix when pushed. Individual volume and tone controls allow you to tailor the sound even further, and of course, the pickguard features the legendary hot-stamped Firebird graphic. A Gibson hardshell case is also included.

The Gibson Patent Applied For humbucker™ pickups from the 1950s are considered by many musicians to be the “holy grail” of vintage electric guitar pickups. Among them, the unique set that was installed in the legendary “Greeny” Les Paul™ are some of the most famous. The new Greenybucker set is instantly recognizable from a sonic perspective; their distinctive sound is partially from the out-of-phase middle switch position due to the neck pickup’s reverse magnetic polarity. The Greenybucker pickup set was developed with input from Greeny’s current owner, Kirk Hammett, and with specifications taken from the actual Patent Applied For humbucker pickups on that world-renowned guitar, including asymmetrical coil windings and unpolished Alnico 2 magnets.
Position: Rhythm/Treble (Set of Two)
Magnets: Alnico 2
Wiring: 2-Conductor
Covers: Nickel

Average DC Resistance: Rhythm: 8.3k, Treble: 8.7k
Details: As featured on the Gibson USA Kirk Hammett “Greeny” Les Paul. Developed with Kirk Hammett’s guidance and with specs taken from the actual Patent Applied For pickups on the Greeny Les Paul. The rhythm pickup features reverse magnetic polarity for the signature Greeny sound.

Introduced in 1960 as the first square-shoulder acoustic model from Gibson, the unmistakable Hummingbird™ has become one of the most popular acoustic guitars ever made and the choice of countless players across generations and genres. The Hummingbird Original blends vintage appointments with modern, high-quality construction and now comes equipped with the Gibson-exclusive, custom-voiced Baggs™ HiFi DNA™ pickup system for amplified sound that captures the guitar’s character and every nuance of your playing.
The Hummingbird Original features a square-shoulder body crafted with a Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides. Scalloped X-bracing supports the top, with multi-ply binding framing the body. This proven combination gives the Hummingbird the versatility that has long defined the model, equally at home driving first-position chords or stepping forward for picked lead lines. A gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish gives this version a clean, understated appearance that places the focus on the classic Hummingbird silhouette.
The mahogany neck is joined to the body with a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint and has a comfortable Rounded profile. It is fitted with a rosewood fretboard with a 12-inch radius, 20 standard frets, and mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. Gold Gotoh® keystone tuners and a bone nut complete the headstock, while the traditional Hummingbird truss rod cover and double antiqued binding reinforce the model’s vintage-appointed character.
The traditional belly-up bridge is crafted from rosewood and fitted with a bone saddle and TUSQ® bridge pins. The iconic Hummingbird pickguard remains one of the instrument’s most recognizable details, giving the guitar the visual identity familiar to players and music fans worldwide.
Inside, the Hummingbird Original is now equipped with the all-new Gibson-exclusive Baggs™ HiFi DNA™ pickup system. This active system uses two lightweight sensors mounted on the internal bridge plate. The sensors are matched with optimized individual preamps to deliver full-bodied, amplified acoustic tone that lets the guitar’s character and personality come through when amplified, with no impact on the unamplified tone. The Baggs HiFi DNA system offers comparable gain-before-feedback to an under-saddle pickup. The system also includes soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls that are quick and easy to access while playing, and all but invisible to your audience.
With vintage appointments, versatile square-shoulder performance, and natural-sounding electronics, the Hummingbird Original carries forward the qualities that have made the model a favorite for more than six decades. It comes ready for the stage and studio in a hardshell case.

Much of the Hummingbird’s appeal lies in its versatility. No matter how you attack this flat-top, it pumps out rich, deep tones, and is equally at home strumming first-position chords as it is taking the spotlight for picking lead lines. Its spacious mahogany body and sweet, select Sitka spruce top are more than capable of nailing down the rhythm in the hands of a rock and roll sideman or accompanying the most nuanced performance under the fingers of today’s alternative singer-songwriter. The Hummingbird's mahogany neck has a comfortable rounded profile and mother of pearl parallelogram inlays. This 'bird has a TUSQ® nut, saddle, and bridge pins, Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, the iconic Hummingbird™ graphics on the pickguard, and is equipped with LR Baggs® VTC electronics, so it's ready to plug in on stage or in the studio. A Gibson hardshell case is included.

The Gibson J-160E is a legendary model, and for many players, it needs no introduction, but for players who may be unfamiliar with its history, it is most closely associated with The Beatles, who used the model extensively, including on their landmark first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show and on many of the recordings from the first half of their career. The J-160E was first introduced in 1954 as the second Gibson acoustic model to feature onboard electronics (after the CF-100E, which was released in 1951), in the form of a coverless P-90 pickup mounted through the top, just below the end of the fretboard. While it has a round shoulder shape similar to the Southern Jumbo and J-45™, it was designed from the beginning as a dual-purpose model that could function both electrically and acoustically, with somewhat more emphasis placed on its electrical performance.
Now, Gibson is very proud to introduce the J-160E Original, a new model based on those vintage classics, enhanced with upgrades and improvements that make it better than ever, in both its acoustic and electric performance. It features a back and sides made from solid mahogany. Instead of the laminated top and ladder bracing used on vintage models, the J-160E Original features a solid Sitka spruce top that is reinforced with our traditional scalloped X-bracing for a full, round shoulder acoustic tone when played unplugged. The mahogany neck has a comfortable and fast-playing SlimTaper™ profile and is attached to the body at the 15th fret using our compound dovetail neck-to-body joint, and like all Gibson acoustic guitars, it is fitted with hot hide glue for maximum resonance and tonal transfer. The bound rosewood fretboard is equipped with 20 standard frets and dressed up with pearloid trapezoid inlays. The belly-up bridge is also rosewood and is equipped with a bone saddle and TUSQ® bridge pins. The nut is also bone, and nickel Gotoh® Keystone tuners ensure fast, accurate, and stable tuning so you can spend more time playing and less time tuning.
Like its vintage predecessors, the J-160E Original is equipped with a pickup, but instead of the P-90 found in previous versions, the J-160 Original features a P-90 DC pickup that is wired to top-mounted master volume and tone controls, both of which feature 60s-style gold Top Hat knobs with silver reflectors, and wired to a side-mounted output jack. The P-90 DC delivers the classic P-90 tone but without the hum, for improved, noise-free electrified performance. A Gibson hardshell case is also included to help keep the J-160E Original safe, whether you’re traveling to a gig at the local pub, going to a friend’s house for a jam session, or headed out to conquer America. Don’t miss this opportunity to own this truly iconic dual-purpose guitar that is now better than ever!

While the Gibson J-185 may not have achieved the same universal name recognition as models like the J-45™M, SJ-200™, and Hummingbird™, it has long held a special place among knowledgeable players, who consider it one of the best-sounding acoustic guitars Gibson has ever made. Originally released in 1951, the J-185's body outline drew inspiration from the celebrated 1920s L-5 models, sharing much of their silhouette and proportions. Slightly more compact than an SJ-200 and built with the familiar 24.75" scale length also found on the J-45 and Hummingbird, the J-185 carved out a tonal identity that has made it a favorite for decades.
Gibson now introduces a fresh interpretation of this beloved platform: the J-185 Century 12-Fret. It carries forward many of the hallmark appointments that define the classic J-185, but the shift to a
12-fret neck-to-body joint sets it apart from the standard 14-fret design. This configuration shortens the neck and moves the bridge plate farther from the waist and closer to the body's widest point, enhancing top movement and improving playing comfort. The result is a warm, lively, and responsive voice that especially suits fingerstyle players and anyone with a lighter, nuanced touch.
Because any J-185 variant is relatively uncommon, let alone 12-fret versions, this new model gives a much wider audience the chance to experience the tonal character that only a 12-fret jumbo can offer. As part of the Century Collection, created to mark 100 Years of Gibson Flat-Tops, the J-185
Century 12-Fret pairs a mahogany body with a Sitka spruce top and is outlined with single-ply cream binding on the top and back.
Its mahogany neck features a fast, comfortable Slim Taper™ 12-Fret profile and is joined to the body at the 12th fret using a compound dovetail neck joint secured with hot hide glue, consistent with Gibson acoustic build tradition. The bound rosewood fingerboard hosts 19 frets and understated mother-of-pearl dot inlays.
The headstock showcases open-back Golden Age strap tuners with cream buttons, along with an early-1900s Gibson script logo decal that reinforces the vintage aesthetic. Complementing these details is a sloped rectangle closed-slot rosewood bridge reminiscent of early -45 instruments.
Bone is used for both the nut and saddle, while the bridge pins are TUSQ®. The J-185 Century
12-Fret is fitted with a Gibson oval teardrop pickguard and finished with a hand-applied satin nitrocellulose lacquer in Vintage Amber, Vintage Sunburst, or Ebony. It ships in a premium Century Collection tweed hardshell case and is offered in both right-handed and left-handed configurations.

Since the 1930s, the full-sized, round shoulder acoustics from Gibson have become the most recorded acoustic guitars in American music history, delivering expressive tone, superior warmth, and note-to-note balance that makes them stand apart from other acoustic guitars. One of the most famous of the Gibson round shoulder models is the J-45™—the famous “Workhorse,” which was first introduced in 1942 and has gone on to become the best-selling Gibson acoustic model of all time. The nickname comes from its no-nonsense simplicity, understated elegance, and widespread use on stages and in recording studios worldwide.
Now, Gibson is proud to introduce a new version of this legendary model: the J-45 Century 12-Fret. It retains many of the classic features that players love about the J-45, but features a 12-fret neck-to-body joint instead of the standard 14-fret joint. Why is this important? With a 12-fret neck joint, the neck is shorter and the position of the bridge plate is relocated, which places it further from the body’s waist and closer to the center of the widest area of the body, where it can drive the top more efficiently, making the guitar more comfortable to hold and play and resulting in a tone that is warm, punchy, and resonant and that responds ideally to the dynamics of fingerstyle players and players with a lighter picking attack.
While this is not the first J-45 to feature a 12-fret neck, such models have previously been limited to artist signature models and limited-run releases from Gibson Custom, making them relatively rare and somewhat difficult to find. Now, the beautiful tone of a 12-fret neck is available to all in the form of the Gibson J-45 Century 12-Fret. Part of the new Century Collection celebrating 100 Years of Gibson Flat-Tops, it features a mahogany body with a Sitka spruce top, with single ply cream top and back binding framing the body’s perimeter.
The mahogany neck has a fast-playing SlimTaper™ 12-Fret profile and attaches to the body at the 12th fret with a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint that is fastened with hot hide glue, just like all of the Gibson acoustic models. The rosewood fretboard is equipped with 19 standard frets and adorned with simple mother-of-pearl dot inlays.
The headstock is outfitted with open-back Golden Age strap tuners with cream buttons and features an early-1900s Gibson script logo decal for a vintage-inspired touch. Another vintage-inspired detail is the sloped rectangle closed-slot rosewood bridge, similar to those found on the earliest J-45 models. The nut and saddle of the J-45 Century 12-Fret are bone, while the bridge pins are TUSQ®. The J-45 Century 12-Fret has a classic Gibson L-00-style pickguard and features a hand-sprayed satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish. It comes packed in a premium Century Collection tweed hardshell case and is available in both right and left-handed versions.

First introduced in 1942, the Gibson J-45 ™ has remained a mainstay Gibson acoustic model. It has earned its name as "The Workhorse" due to its wide acceptance, no-nonsense simplicity, and understated elegance. It's one of the most recorded acoustic guitars in history and Gibson's best-selling acoustic model of all time. Handcrafted with care in Bozeman, Montana, by Gibson's expert acoustic luthiers, the new Gibson J-45 Special offers players a USA-built Gibson acoustic guitar at a very attractive price. The J-45 Special has a round shoulder body constructed using genuine solid mahogany for the back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top. The top is reinforced with our traditional scalloped X-bracing. This combination of tonewoods delivers a warm, balanced tone with excellent dynamic range that is great for any musical genre. The "concert depth" body is slightly thinner than on a J-45 Standard, giving the J-45 Special a leaner and tighter bass response that sits perfectly in the mix and also makes it easier to hold. The utile neck is attached to the body with a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint, and like all Gibson acoustic guitars, it is affixed with hot hide glue. The neck has a comfortable and fast-playing Slim Taper ™M profile, and the rosewood fretboard has a 12" radius and is adorned with simple mother-of-pearl dot inlays and is fitted with 20 standard frets. The traditional belly-up rosewood bridge is equipped with a TUSQ® saddle, and the nut and bridge pins are also TUSQ. High-quality Grover® Rotomatic® tuners ensure solid tuning stability. The J-45 Special is finished in satin nitrocellulose lacquer in vour choice of Satin Vintage Sunburst or Satin Wine Red. It comes with an L.R. Baggs Element Bronze under-saddle piezo pickup with active electronics and an easily accessible soundhole-mounted volume control pre-installed for studio-quality plug-and-play anywhere. The -45 Special also comes with a premium soft shell case.

Jake Kiszka, acclaimed guitarist and founding member of rock 'n' roll powerhouse Greta Van Fleet, has carved out a signature approach defined by intensity, nuance, and unwavering creative vision.
His connection to his treasured 1961 SG™M extends far beyond admiration; it's a bond shaped through years of exploration. As Jake notes, "The '61, this particular model, has defined me as a player, and I think I've defined it in return." For decades, the Gibson SG has stood at the center of rock 'n' roll's evolution, favored by artists who push boundaries and reimagine the genre. The new Jake Kiszka S Standard honors that legacy, crafted from mahogany and metal with precision and purpose at Gibson's Nashville headquarters.
This limited-edition instrument pays tribute to the legendary '61 S, with its unmistakable double-cutaway silhouette and pronounced bevels that evoke generations of rock storytelling. Its Slim Taper™ neck, carved from mahogany, invites expressive playing along a rosewood fretboard fitted with 22 medium jumbo frets and accented by glowing acrylic trapezoid inlays. A Graph Tech® nut partners with Gibson Vintage Deluxe tuners with keystone buttons to deliver exceptional tuning dependability.
At the other end, the strings ride across an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge for complete control over action and intonation, then anchor into a stop tailpiece concealed beneath a Sideways Vibrola™ cover. The Vibrola tailpiece has been internally modified and secured so it remains decorative rather than functional, mirroring the appearance of Jake's own beloved 1961 SG, the Beloved, while providing the stability and performance of a fixed tailpiece. Once a tool for experimental bends and shimmering effects, the immobilized Vibrola now serves as a visual homage and a symbol of modern reliability.
Jake also opted for subtle updates to the electronics compared to a vintage 1961 SG. His model features a pair of T-Type humbuckers™, a duo capable of delivering searing highs, articulate clarity, and dynamic punch. Each pickup is paired with independent volume and tone controls, complemented by Orange Drop® tone capacitors.
Handbuilt at the Gibson factory, the Jake Kiszka SG Standard features a Faded Vintage Cherry gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish and ships in a black Modern hardshell case emblazoned with a Jake Kiszka doubloon logo graphic. The guitar arrives with a standard backplate installed, and the case includes a separate hand-signed and stamped Jake Kiszka backplate, along with a custom leather strap enhanced with a metallic coin pendant designed by Jake.
With Greta Van Fleet achieving chart success around the world, Jake Kiszka's impact on a new wave of players is unmistakable. His Gibson SG has been a constant partner throughout his rise.
Now the Jake Kiszka S Standard offers that same spirit to players everywhere. Available only in limited numbers, this is your chance to make it your own.
