Just got this one....

I think there are still a few around. Most of the stores were franchised and the Gibson family only had about 60-70 of theirs left when they went under.

I've still got 3 Gibson guitars, and the red, 1971 Gibson ES335 is my "house is on fire" guitar, the one I'd grab if my house was in flames!

I also have an '05 Gibson Les Paul Standard, "Honeyburst."
I put some Lumbucker Pickups in it, but still have the original pups that came with it.

I have a 1995 Gibson ES135, black.

Addendum: I sold another ES135 a few years back, and my first ever guitar, I also sold back when I needed money. It was a 1984 Gibson Les Paul Studio, no photos.

My Dad worked for Gibson's through the 70's. We moved all over the midwest opening stores.

Whoa, nice guitars there Indianation65! Real nice.

Nice Indian. The Gibson hollows and semi-hollows are my favorites

If you're ever in Memphis, swing by the Gibson factory there and take the tour. They start you on the receiving dock where they get product and take you through all the steps to make a Gibson (hollow body if I remember). Last step is where several guys tune them and then play a bit to check them out. Pretty good pickers working there.

Then go across the street to the Rock and Soul Museum.

He has an awesome collection! That ‘71 335 is a dream guitar for sure!

She replied "first a Gibson then a Fender"

I have more than 25, fewer than 75.

Addendum: I'm leaving out the drums, basses, amps and pedals.

Didn't know what they were until I watched a Netflix flick called The Queens Gambit. I'm 67 and probably never had a martini.

A good vodka martini with Maytag blue cheese olives is hard to beat.
