Music Minute - Handcrafted in Nashville, TN: Wood

Gibson continues its year-long Handcrafted in Nashville, TN campaign with the premiere of Chapter 1: “Wood,” the first installment in a four-part video series exploring the craftsmanship, materials, and artistry behind Gibson electric guitars. This year-long marquee campaign celebrates the craftsmanship and innovation that drives Gibson and Gibson Custom electric guitar-making in the heart of Music City, where Gibson musical instruments begin a journey—one that will ultimately carry it from Nashville’s craftories to the world’s biggest stages, in addition to rehearsal rooms, recording studios, and homes all over the world.

 

Narrated by Pepper Keenan of Corrosion of Conformity and Down, Chapter 1 “Wood” takes viewers to the very beginning of the Gibson story—long before the first note is played—exploring the essential role that tonewoods play in shaping the unmistakable sound of Gibson instruments. Watch Chapter 1: “Wood” HERE and explore all Gibson and Gibson Custom electric guitars HERE.

 

For more than 50 years, Gibson electric guitars have been handcrafted in the heart of Music City—Nashville, Tennessee—where wood and steel meet heart and soul, yet the true origin of every instrument begins far beyond the craftory, in nature itself. As Pepper Keenan reflects in the film, “The story of a Gibson guitar begins long before you open the case…long before you strum that first chord. It begins with a tree—a tree that had already been growing for over a century.” From forest to stage, the careful selection of premium tonewoods forms the foundation of Gibson’s most iconic instruments—guitars designed not only for exceptional tone, but to endure beyond lifetimes. This commitment starts at the source, where Gibson works closely with trusted partners to responsibly procure materials while supporting the sustainability and long-term stewardship of the world’s forests, ensuring the future of guitar-making for generations to come. Every Gibson electric guitar is handcrafted in the USA and built to sustain—not only under the player’s fingers, but across decades as a future heirloom instrument.
