Gibson has shaped the sound of electric music since the Les Paul debuted in 1952. From the fat, sustain-rich humbucker tone of the Les Paul Standard to the fast, aggressive bite of the SG and the warm, woody voice of the ES-335, Gibson electrics are the foundation of rock, blues, jazz, and country. Their Custom Shop and Murphy Lab divisions produce period-accurate reissues aged to look and feel like vintage originals.

Every Gibson electric at Righteous Guitars is hand-inspected and professionally set up by our repair team. Qualifying guitars over $3,000 receive complimentary PLEK service before shipping from our Roswell, Georgia showroom.

About Gibson Electric Guitars

Gibson's electric lineup is built around three families. The Les Paul pairs a carved maple top with a mahogany body for thick, sustaining warmth. The SG strips the recipe to a light all-mahogany body with a sharper bite and effortless upper-fret access. The ES semi-hollows, led by the ES-335, blend solid-body focus with hollow-body air, which is why they show up everywhere from blues clubs to arena stages. Beyond the big three, the Explorer and Flying V carry the same humbucker voice in more radical shapes.

Gibson USA builds the production lineup in Nashville, Tennessee in two collections: Original, which keeps the classic 50s and 60s specs, and Modern, which adds weight relief, slimmer necks, and updated switching. The Custom Shop recreates golden-era instruments in obsessive detail, and Murphy Lab aging makes a new reissue look and feel like a vintage original. We stock the range from workhorse Studios to Murphy Lab reissues, with each guitar listed individually by serial number.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a Les Paul, an SG, and an ES-335?

The Les Paul is a solid mahogany body with a carved maple top: thick, warm, and sustaining. The SG is all mahogany, lighter, with a sharper attack and easier access to the top frets. The ES-335 is a semi-hollow with a solid center block, adding air and openness while resisting feedback. All three share Gibson's scale length and humbucker voice, so the choice comes down to weight, feel, and how much brightness you want.

What is the difference between Gibson's Original and Modern Collections?

Original Collection guitars keep vintage-style specs: 50s or 60s neck profiles, full-weight bodies, and traditional wiring. Modern Collection guitars add weight relief, slimmer necks, coil taps, and contemporary appointments. Custom Shop reissues go a step beyond Original, recreating specific vintage years with period-correct construction.

Do you stock Gibson Custom Shop and Murphy Lab electrics?

Yes. Our Gibson electric inventory regularly includes Custom Shop reissues of the Les Paul, SG, and ES-335, many with Murphy Lab aging from Ultra Light through Heavy. These pieces rotate quickly, so contact us if you are hunting a specific year, finish, or aging level.
