So you want to buy a Gibson electric guitar, but you’re not sure whether you should graduate or upgrade from your Epiphone, or maybe you’ve heard of Gibson electric guitars, you’re keen to learn more, and you’re not sure what style of electric Gibson guitar you want. Do you want a solid body, semi-hollow body, single cutaway, double cutaway, humbuckers or P-90s? It can get confusing when buying your first electric guitar or your first Gibson electric guitar, especially since there are quite a few different models, so Dinesh is here to help you choose between all the different electric guitar shapes we have, including the Les Paul™, SG™, ES-335, Explorer™, Flying V™, and Firebird™ so you can see (and hear) which Gibson electric guitar might be best for you!

Watch as Dinesh explains the three key things you need to look for when choosing an electric guitar, listen as he plays through the different sounds of each Gibson electric model, and learn about the different guitar shapes and sizes and whether or not certain electric guitar styles might be best for you! Is a Les Paul best for you with its dual humbuckers and single cutaway? Is a Gibson SG best for you with its dual cutaways and slimmer neck? Maybe a Gibson Firebird is best for you with its mini-humbuckers™! Watch and find out what style of electric guitar is right for you.

  • @johnsmith-ug5tp
    I wish you guys would offer the Firebird USA again, even for a limited run. 😊😉
  • @rockfan11288able
    That firebird looks like Brian Rays with that strong bright red.
  • @dr.j6747
    Gibson makes so many great guitars, I could NEVER be satisfied with only one. I grew-up near the former Gibson Kalamazoo factory, and many of us guitar players highly coveted Gibsons, and worked many long hours to own them. So after nearly 60 years since my 1st Gibson Melody Maker, I've owned and played a very long list of them. My favorites have included standard production, Limited Production, USA and Custom Shop models like the 335s, 336s, 137, SGs, the LP Specials, Class 5 LPs (stunningly beautiful), LP Standards, the Night Hawk, Blues Hawk, and more, lol. The Gibson name and heritage are known world wide, and have stood the test of time! (I was blown away to see a guitarist playing a Gibson in the African dessert, lol.) Long live Gibson!

    I want a 339, a firebird, and 54 reissue custom with the staple pickup. May take a few years. But It'll be worth the wait.
  • @eastontanner6919
    Love the Firebird, hope to get one someday, hard to find them left handed though
  • @harrystone3773
    I have 2 les Paul’s and 1 SG. Best guitars I’ve ever owned. Hopefully I can get my hands a solid white 70’s Flying V in the future 🤘
  • @marktucker7583
    Excellent! A Custom Shop video in this regard please !
  • @ehmmmjay9907
    At these new prices, I'm gonna guess the right Gibson for me will be USED!
  • @johnperiard9594
    I absolutely love Gibson guitars. 335, LP, the SG!, V, and Firebird my favorites!
  • @donpritchard7399
    I'm thinking either an ES or Ebony Songwriter for the same and different reasons. Luckily, I live in Nashville and can hopefully go to the Gibson Garage and play with both! Can only afford one though.
  • @fuzzfizz
    i'm a Gibson guy but my Gibson has 25.5 inch scale, Firebird pickup, a single coil, a slanted humbucker with 5 way switch and a push pull knob. I probably don't belong here but i love my Nighthawk Standard 3.
  • @danjames8570
    But I thought Firebird pickups are uniquely their own thing & not to be confused with a mini humbucker?
  • @TurnerCurrie
    The korina explorer is my dream guitar. I love the 50s Les paul though. Great sounds coming from Gibson
  • @kkzooi
    for me neck profile is the most important factor in buying a guitar. a chunky 50's style neck is my preferred choice. I have an sg std 61 but my hand cramps up after about 15 minutes so i dont use it often, same with my BFG with the 60's style neck.
  • @Erindorn
    How about a feature on Gibson lefties? They're getting harder to find, and fewer models offered, so what does Gibson still do for the left handed guitar and bass players out there?
  • @petkopeet
    I will buy one when you hit PRS level of consistency in making guitars.
  • I have the 2018 Gibson Heavy Metal Flying V and the Adam Jones Les Paul Standard. Think I have what I need.
  • @jaymax3201
    I got the R9 Murphy Lab heavy aged in 2024 and am I'm fully satisfied with it.
