Gibson, the legendary American instrument brand, has been crafting world-class instruments since 1894 when Orville Gibson first designed archtop mandolins. As a continuation of its passion for unique instruments and the rich stories they carry, the Gibson Certified Vintage program provides collectors with authenticated vintage guitars, certified directly by Gibson. Each guitar comes with a new limited lifetime warranty and a certificate of vintage authenticity.
Today, the Gibson Certified Vintage program introduces its latest collection, featuring:
- 1956 Gibson Les Paul Standard
- 1957 Gibson ES-225TD
- 1958 Gibson Les Paul TV Junior
- 1964 Gibson SG Special
- 1966 Epiphone Century E422T
“P-90s have been the defining sound of Gibson electric guitars for nearly a century, and this release is a tribute to that legacy,” says Mitch Conrad, Gibson Certified Vintage Manager. “I have a special appreciation for the 1957 Gibson ES-225TD—it combines the specs of an ES-295 with the sleek, thinline design of an ES-330. Despite how pristine these guitars look, they are meant to be played, and their sound is phenomenal.”
The Gibson Certified Vintage collection offers collectors an unparalleled chance to own historically significant instruments, carefully sourced and authenticated by Gibson. This collection includes rare Golden Era blue-chip models, unique prototypes, celebrity-owned guitars, and select 70s and 80s models straight from the Gibson Vault.
In an industry-first move, all Gibson Certified Vintage guitars come with a brand-new limited lifetime warranty. Each instrument is accompanied by a detailed letter of appraisal outlining its provenance and history, a certificate of authenticity signed by Gibson’s Certified Vintage Manager, Mitch Conrad, and a selection of exclusive extras.
