Gibson Designer Guitars

Gibson Designer Guitars are Gibson's more experimental and artistic guitar shapes. The Designer series includes the Gibson Firebird, Gibson Explorer and Gibson Flying V models.

The release of the Explorer and Flying V in 1958 marked Gibson's first leap into the the more futuristic body design. Both were designed by Ted Macarty, taking influence from the cars of the time like Cadillac and Pontiac. Artist Ray Dietrich later designed the Firebird in 1963.

We have a fantastic selection of Gibson designer electric guitars, including the new Gibson Explorer, Antique Natural and Gibson Flying V Tribute, Satin Ebony.
