The Les Paul Isiginci sikagesi saziwa ngesimo saso esihlukile, i-cutaway eyodwa, kanye nengaphezulu eligobile, futhi seliwuphawu lwakudala lwe-rock and roll.
Lesi siginci senze iziginci zikaGibson zaduma ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
Kodwa ziyini iziginci zikaGibson, futhi kungani lezi ziginci zifunwa kangaka?
U-Gibson ungumkhiqizi wesiginci waseMelika obelokhu ekhiqiza izinsimbi zekhwalithi ephezulu kusukela ngo-1902. Iziginci zayo zikagesi neze-acoustic zaziwa ngobuciko bazo obusezingeni eliphezulu, imiklamo emisha, kanye nekhwalithi yomsindo ehamba phambili futhi asetshenziswa kabanzi abaculi kuzo zonke izinhlobo zezinhlobo ezahlukene.
Kodwa abantu abaningi, ngisho nabashaya isiginci, abakakwazi okuningi mayelana nohlobo lwe-Gibson, umlando walo, kanye nazo zonke izinsimbi zomculo ezinhle ezenziwa umkhiqizo.
Lo mhlahlandlela uzochaza konke lokhu futhi ukhanyisele uhlobo lwesiginci seGibson.
Iyiphi inzuzo uGibson Brands, Inc.?
I-Gibson yinkampani ekhiqiza iziginci ezisezingeni eliphezulu nezinye izinsimbi zomculo. Yasungulwa ngo-1902 ngu Orville Gibson e Kalamazoo, Michigan, United States.
Namuhla ibizwa nge-Gibson Brands, Inc, kodwa esikhathini esidlule, inkampani yayaziwa ngokuthi i-Gibson Guitar Corporation.
Iziginci ze-Gibson zihlonishwa kakhulu abaculi nabathandi bomculo emhlabeni wonke futhi baziwa ngobungcweti bazo obusezingeni eliphezulu, imiklamo emisha, kanye nekhwalithi yomsindo ehamba phambili.
I-Gibson mhlawumbe yaziwa kakhulu ngeziginci zayo zikagesi eziyisakhiwo sodumo, okuhlanganisa imodeli ye-Les Paul, SG, kanye ne-Explorer, esetshenziswe abaculi abangenakubalwa ezinhlotsheni ezihlukahlukene, kusukela ku-rock ne-blues kuya ku-jazz nezwe.
Ukwengeza, i-Gibson iphinde ikhiqize iziginci ze-acoustic, okuhlanganisa izinhlobo ze-J-45 ne-Hummingbird, ezihlonishwa kakhulu ngenxa yethoni yazo ecebile, efudumele kanye nobuciko obuhle.
Phakathi neminyaka edlule, uGibson uye wabhekana nobunzima bezezimali kanye nezinguquko zobunikazi, kodwa inkampani isalokhu ingumkhiqizo othandekayo nohlonishwayo embonini yomculo.
Namuhla, u-Gibson uyaqhubeka nokukhiqiza izinhlobonhlobo zeziginci nezinye izinsimbi zomculo, kanye nezikhulisi, amaphedali wemiphumela, namanye amagiya abaculi.
Wayengubani u-Orville Gibson?
U-Orville Gibson (1856-1918) wasungula i-Gibson Guitar Corporation. Wazalelwa eChateguay, eFranklin County, eNew York State.
U-Gibson wayengu-luthier, noma umenzi wezinsimbi zomculo ezinezintambo, owaqala ukwenza ama-mandolin neziginci ngasekupheleni kwekhulu le-19.
Imiklamo yakhe yayihlanganisa izici ezintsha ezifana neziqongo eziqoshiwe nezingemuva, ezisize ukuthuthukisa ithoni nokudlala kahle kwezinsimbi zakhe.
Le miklamo ngokuhamba kwesikhathi izoba yisisekelo seziginci ze-Gibson ezidumile inkampani eyaziwa ngazo namuhla.
I-Orville's Part-Time Hobby
Kunzima ukukholelwa ukuthi inkampani yesiginci yaseGibson yaqala njengento yokuzilibazisa yesikhashana ka-Orville Gibson!
Kwadingeka asebenze imisebenzi embalwa eyinqaba ukuze akhokhele uthando lwakhe - ukwenza izinsimbi zomculo.
Ngo-1894, u-Orville waqala ukwenza iziginci ze-acoustic namandolin esitolo sakhe sase-Kalamazoo, e-Michigan.
Ube ngowokuqala ukuklama isiginci esinesikhala esiphezulu esingenalutho kanye nembobo eyisiyingi yomsindo, umklamo owawuzoba indinganiso iziginci ze-archtop.
Umlando kaGibson
Iziginci zeGibson zinomlando omude nonezindaba osukela ngasekupheleni kwekhulu le-19.
Le nkampani yasungulwa ngu-Orville Gibson, olungisa izinsimbi waseKalamazoo, eMichigan.
Kunjalo, inkampani yaseGibson yasungulwa lapho ngo-1902 ngu-Orville Gibson, owenza izinsimbi zomndeni we-mandolin ngaleso sikhathi.
Ngaleso sikhathi, iziginci zaziyimikhiqizo eyenziwe ngezandla futhi zazivame ukuphuka, kodwa u-Orville Gibson waqinisekisa ukuthi angakwazi ukuzilungisa.
Inkampani yagcina ithuthele eNashville, eTennessee, kodwa ukuxhumana kweKalamazoo kuseyingxenye ebalulekile yomlando kaGibson.
Ukuqala Gibson guitar: mandolins
Okuthakazelisayo ukuthi u-Gibson waqala njengenkampani ye-mandolin hhayi i-acoustic nama-guitar kagesi - lokho kuzokwenzeka kancane kamuva.
Ngo-1898, u-Orville Gibson wagunyaza umklamo we-mandolin wocezu olulodwa owawuqinile futhi owawungakhiqizwa ngevolumu.
Waqala ukuthengisa amathuluzi egunjini eshabhu yakhe yokusebenzela e-Kalamazoo, Michigan ngo-1894. Ngo-1902, i-Gibson Mandolin Guitar Mfg. Co. Ltd. yahlanganiswa ukuze imakethe imiklamo yokuqala ka-Orville Gibson.
Isidingo sendalo ka-Orville ne-truss rod
Akuzange kuthathe isikhathi eside ukuthi abantu baqaphele izinsimbi zika-Orville ezenziwe ngezandla.
Ngo-1902, wakwazi ukuthola imali ukuze akhe i-Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Manufacturing Company.
Ngeshwa, u-Orville akazange ayibone impumelelo inkampani yakhe eyayingaba nayo – washona ngo-1918.
Iminyaka yawo-1920 kwakuyisikhathi sokuqanjwa kabusha kwesiginci, futhi uGibson wayehola leli cala.
U-Tedd McHugh, omunye wabasebenzi babo, uqhamuke nezinto ezimbili ezibalulekile zentuthuko yobunjiniyela yangaleso sikhathi: i-truss rod elungisekayo kanye nebhuloho elilungiseka ukuphakama.
Kuze kube namuhla, wonke ama-Gibsons asafaka induku efanayo ye-truss eyaklanywa nguMcHugh.
Isikhathi sikaLloyd Loar
Ngo-1924, kwethulwa i-mandolin ye-F-5 ene-f-holes, futhi ngo-1928, kwethulwa isiginci se-L-5 acoustic.
Ama-banjo angaphambi kwempi ka-Gibson, kuhlanganise ne-RB-1 ngo-1933, i-RB-00 ngo-1940, kanye ne-PB-3 ngo-1929, nawo ayedumile.
Ngonyaka olandelayo, inkampani yaqasha umklami u-Lloyd Loar ukuthi enze izinsimbi ezintsha.
ULoar waklama isiginci se-archtop se-L-5 kanye ne-Gibson F-5 mandolin, eyethulwa ngo-1922 ngaphambi kokushiya inkampani ngo-1924.
Ngalesi sikhathi, iziginci zazingeyona into kaGibson!
Isikhathi sikaGuy Hart
Kusukela ngo-1924 kuya ku-1948, uGuy Hart wagijima uGibson futhi wayengumuntu obalulekile emlandweni wenkampani.
Lesi sikhathi sasingesinye sezinkulu kakhulu ekusungulweni kwesiginci, futhi ukuvela kwesiginci esinezintambo eziyisithupha ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yawo-1700 kwenza isiginci sagqama.
Ngaphansi kokuphathwa kukaHart, uGibson uthuthukise iSuper 400, ethathwa njengolayini we-flattop ohamba phambili, kanye ne-SJ-200, eyayinendawo evelele emakethe yesiginci sikagesi.
Naphezu kokuwohloka komnotho emhlabeni wonke ngeminyaka yawo-1930s, uHart wagcina inkampani ebhizinisini futhi wagcina amashekhi eza kubasebenzi ngokwethula umugqa wamathoyizi okhuni wekhwalithi ephezulu.
Lapho izwe liqala ukusimama kwezomnotho maphakathi nawo-1930, uGibson wavula izimakethe ezintsha phesheya kwezilwandle.
Ngeminyaka yawo-1940, inkampani yahola indlela eMpini Yezwe II ngokuguqula ifektri yayo ibe ukukhiqiza ngesikhathi sempi futhi yawina Umklomelo Wezempi-Navy E ngokwenza kahle.
Idatha ye-EH-150
Ngo-1935, uGibson wenza umzamo wabo wokuqala wokudlala isiginci sikagesi nge-EH-150.
Kwakuyisiginci se-lap steel esine-twist yaseHawaii, ngakho-ke sasingafani neze neziginci zikagesi esizaziyo namuhla.
Imodeli yokuqala "yeSpanishi kagesi", i-ES-150, ilandele unyaka olandelayo.
I-Super Jumbo J-200
UGibson naye wayesenza amagagasi angathi sína emhlabeni wesigingci se-acoustic.
Ngo-1937, bakha iSuper Jumbo J-200 “King of the Flat Tops” ngemuva komyalo wangokwezifiso ovela kumlingisi odumile wasentshonalanga uRay Whitley.
Le modeli isadumile nanamuhla futhi yaziwa nge-J-200/JS-200. Ingesinye sezigingci ze-acoustic ezifunwa kakhulu laphaya.
U-Gibson uphinde wathuthukisa ezinye izinhlobo ze-iconic acoustic njenge-J-45 ne-Southern Jumbo. Kodwa bawushintsha ngempela umdlalo lapho besungula indlela yokusika ngo-1939.
Lokhu kwavumela abadlali besiginci ukuthi bafinyelele ama-frets aphezulu kunangaphambili, futhi kwashintsha indlela abantu abadlala ngayo isiginci.
Isikhathi sikaTed McCarty
Ngo-1944, uGibson wathenga iChicago Musical Instruments, kwathi i-ES-175 yethulwa ngo-1949.
Ngo-1948, uGibson waqasha uTed McCarty njengomongameli, futhi wahola ekwandiseni umugqa wesiginci ngeziginci ezintsha.
Isiginci sikaLes Paul sethulwa ngo-1952 futhi savunyelwa umculi odumile wama-1950s, u-Les Paul.
Masibhekane nakho: U-Gibson usaziwa kakhulu ngesiginci se-Les Paul, ngakho-ke iminyaka yama-50 kwakuyiminyaka echaza iziginci ze-Gibson!
Isiginci sasinikeza amamodeli angokwezifiso, ajwayelekile, akhethekile, namancane.
Maphakathi nawo-1950s, kwakhiqizwa uchungechunge lweThinline, oluhlanganisa umugqa weziginci ezizacile njenge-Byrdland kanye namamodeli e-Slim Custom Built L-5 yabashaya isiginci abanjengoBilly Byrd no-Hank Garland.
Kamuva, intamo emfushane yengezwa kumamodeli afana ne-ES-350 T kanye ne-ES-225 T, ezethulwa njengezinye izindlela ezibizayo.
Ngo-1958, uGibson wethula imodeli ye-ES-335 T, eyayifana ngosayizi we-thince body thinlines.
Iminyaka Yakamuva
Ngemuva kweminyaka yawo-1960, iziginci zeGibson zaqhubeka nokuthandwa ngabaculi nabalandeli bomculo emhlabeni jikelele.
Ngawo-1970, inkampani yabhekana nezinkinga zezimali futhi yadayiselwa i-Norlin Industries, i-conglomerate nayo eyayinezinye izinkampani embonini yomculo.
Ngalesi sikhathi, ikhwalithi yeziginci ze-Gibson yahlupheka kancane njengoba inkampani igxile ekunciphiseni izindleko nokwandisa ukukhiqizwa.
Ngawo-1980, uGibson waphinda wathengiswa, kulokhu eqenjini labatshalizimali elaliholwa nguHenry Juszkiewicz.
I-Juszkiewicz ihlose ukuvuselela umkhiqizo futhi ithuthukise ikhwalithi yeziginci ze-Gibson, futhi emashumini eminyaka ambalwa alandelayo, wengamele izinguquko eziningi ezibalulekile nezinto ezintsha.
Olunye lwezinguquko eziphawulekayo kwaba ukwethulwa kwezinhlobo ezintsha zesiginci, njengeFlying V kanye ne-Explorer, ezaklanyelwe ukukhanga isizukulwane esisha sabashayi besiginci.
U-Gibson naye waqala ukuhlola izinto ezintsha nezindlela zokwakha, ezifana nokusetshenziswa kwemizimba ene-chambered ne-carbon fiber-reinforced neck.
Ukuqothuka kukaGibson nokuqala kabusha
Ngo-1986, u-Gibson wayesengenamali futhi edonsa kanzima ukuze ahlangabezane nezidingo zabashayi besiginci abahlephula ama-80s.
Ngalowo nyaka, inkampani yathengwa ngezigidi ezingu-5 zamaRandi nguDavid Berryman kanye ne-CEO entsha uHenry Juszkiewicz.
Umsebenzi wabo kwakuwukubuyisela igama nesithunzi sikaGibson kulokho okwakuyikho.
Ukulawulwa kwekhwalithi kwaba ngcono, futhi bagxile ekutholeni ezinye izinkampani nokuhlaziya ukuthi yiziphi izinhlobo ezazidume kakhulu nokuthi kungani.
Leli su liholele ekuvukeni kancane kancane, okwasizwa u-Slash wenza i-sunburst Les Pauls iphole futhi ngo-1987.
Ngawo-1990, u-Gibson wathola ezinye izinhlobo zesigingci ezimbalwa, okuhlanganisa i-Epiphone, i-Kramer, ne-Baldwin.
Lokhu kwasiza ekwandiseni umugqa womkhiqizo wenkampani nokwandisa isabelo sayo semakethe.
I 2000s
Ekuqaleni kwawo-2000, u-Gibson wabhekana nezinselele eziningi, okuhlanganisa ukuncintisana okwandayo okuvela kwabanye abakhiqizi besiginci kanye nokushintsha izitayela embonini yomculo.
Le nkampani iphinde yabhekana nokugxekwa ngemikhuba yayo yezemvelo, ikakhulukazi ukusebenzisa kwayo izinkuni ezisengozini ekukhiqizeni iziginci zayo.
I-Juskiewicz Era
I-Gibson ibe nengxenye yayo efanelekile yezikhathi ezinhle nezimbi phakathi neminyaka edlule, kodwa amashumi ambalwa eminyaka okuqala ekhulu lama-21 kwakuyisikhathi sokusungula izinto ezintsha nokudala.
Ngalesi sikhathi, uGibson wakwazi ukunikeza abadlali besiginci izinsimbi ababezifuna futhi abazidingayo.
Irobhothi Les Paul
UGibson wayehlale eyinkampani ecindezela imingcele yalokho okungenzeka ngesiginci sikagesi, futhi ngo-2005 bakhulula iRobot Les Paul.
Le nsimbi yokuguqula ifaka amashuna amarobhothi avumela abadlali besiginci ukuthi bashune iziginci zabo ngokucindezela inkinobho.
I 2010s
Ngo-2015, u-Gibson wanquma ukunyakazisa izinto kancane ngokulungisa lonke uhla lwabo lwesiginci.
Lokhu kufaka phakathi izintamo ezibanzi, inathi lethusi elilungisekayo elinoziro fret, kanye namashuna amarobhothi e-G-Force njengokujwayelekile.
Ngeshwa, lesi senzo asizange sitholwe kahle ngabashayi besiginci, ababenomuzwa wokuthi uGibson wayezama ukubaphoqa ukuba bashintshe esikhundleni sokubanika iziginci ababezifuna.
Isithunzi sikaGibson saduma ngeminyaka yawo-2010, kwathi ngo-2018 inkampani yayisenkingeni yezezimali.
Ukwenza izinto zibe zimbi nakakhulu, bafaka isicelo sokuqothuka kweSahluko 11 ngoMeyi walowo nyaka.
Eminyakeni yamuva nje, uGibson usebenzele ukubhekana nalezi zinkinga futhi waphinda wazimisa njengomkhiqizi ohamba phambili weziginci ezisezingeni eliphezulu.
Le nkampani yethule izinhlobo ezintsha, njenge-Modern Les Paul kanye ne-SG Standard Tribute, eklanyelwe ukukhanga abashaya isiginci besimanje.
Iphinde yenze imizamo yokuthuthukisa izinqubo zayo zokusimama ngokusebenzisa izinkuni ezitholwe ngokucophelela kanye nokunciphisa imfucuza ezinqubweni zayo zokukhiqiza.
I-Gibson Legacy
Namuhla, iziginci zeGibson zisafunwa kakhulu abaculi nabaqoqi ngokufanayo.
Le nkampani inomlando onothile wokuqamba izinto ezintsha nobungcweti bekhwalithi okwenze yaba yisisekelo embonini yomculo.
Kusukela ezinsukwini zokuqala zika-Orville Gibson kuze kube namuhla, u-Gibson usalokhu engumholi embonini yesigingci futhi uyaqhubeka nokukhiqiza ezinye zezinsimbi ezingcono kakhulu ezitholakalayo.
Ngo-2013, inkampani yaqanjwa kabusha ngokuthi i-Gibson Brands Inc evela ku-Gibson Guitar Corporation.
I-Gibson Brands Inc inephothifoliyo ehlaba umxhwele yezinhlobo zomculo ezithandwayo nezibonakalayo, okuhlanganisa i-Epiphone, i-Kramer, i-Steinberger, ne-Mesa Boogie.
UGibson usaqhubeka nanamuhla, futhi bafundile emaphutheni abo.
Manje sebehlinzeka ngezinhlobonhlobo zeziginci ezibhekelela zonke izinhlobo zeziginci, kusukela kweyakudala Les Paul kuya kuFirebird-X yesimanje.
Futhi, banezinto eziningi ezipholile ezifana nezishuna zamarobhothi e-G-Force namantongomane ethusi alungisekayo.
Ngakho-ke uma ufuna isiginci esinenhlanganisela ephelele yobuchwepheshe besimanje nesitayela sakudala, i-Gibson iyindlela okufanele uhambe ngayo!
Baphinde babe nesigaba somsindo esibizwa nge-KRK Systems.
Le nkampani izinikele kukhwalithi, ukusungula izinto ezintsha, kanye nokwenza kahle komsindo, futhi yakhe imisindo yezizukulwane zabaculi nabathandi bomculo.
Umongameli kanye ne-CEO ye-Gibson Brands Inc nguJames “JC” Curleigh, othanda isiginci futhi ongumnikazi oziqhenyayo weziginci ze-Gibson ne-Epiphone.
Futhi funda: Ingabe iziginci ze-Epiphone ziyikhwalithi enhle? Iziginci ze-Premium kubhajethi
Umlando weziginci zika-Les Paul kanye ne-Gibson
Ukuqala
Konke kwaqala ngeminyaka yawo-1940 lapho u-Les Paul, isigingci se-jazz kanye nephayona lokuqopha, eqhamuka nombono wokuthi isiginci esiqinile wabiza 'I-Log'.
Ngeshwa, umbono wakhe wenqatshwa uGibson. Kodwa ekuqaleni kwawo-1950, uGibson wayesenkingeni.
Leo Fender yayiqale ukukhiqiza ngobuningi i-Esquire kanye Nomsakazi, futhi u-Gibson wayedinga ukuncintisana.
Ngakho-ke, ngo-1951 uGibson noLes Paul bahlangana ukuze bakhe i-Gibson Les Paul.
Bekungeyona i-hit esheshayo, kodwa bekunezisekelo zalokho okungaba esinye seziginci zikagesi ezivelele kakhulu ezake zenziwa:
- Umzimba we-mahogany osikiwe owodwa
- Isiqongo semephu esinamatshe esipendwe ngegolide eliheha amehlo
- Ama-pickup amabili (ama-P-90s ekuqaleni) anezilawuli ezine kanye ne-toggle yezindlela ezintathu
- Setha intamo ye-mahogany ngebhuloho le-rosewood
- Isigxobo sekhanda esinezinhlangothi ezintathu esinesignesha ka-Les
Ibhuloho le-Tune-O-Matic
UGibson washeshe wasebenza ukulungisa izinkinga ngeLes Paul. Ngo-1954, uMcCarty wasungula ibhuloho le-tune-o-matic, esasetshenziswa kuziginci eziningi zeGibson namuhla.
Yinhle kakhulu ekuzinzeni okuqinile kwetshe, ithoni enhle, kanye nekhono lokulungisa amasadi ezwi ngalinye.
I-humbucker
Ngo-1957, u-Seth Lover wasungula i-humbucker ukuxazulula inkinga yomsindo nge-P-90.
I-humbucker ingenye yezinto eziqanjiwe ezibalulekile emlandweni we-rock 'n' roll, njengoba inqwabelanisa ama-coil pickups amabili kanye ne-polarity ehlehlisiwe ukuze isuse i-'60-cycle hum' esabekayo.
Thola konke okumele ukwazi mayelana nezinhlobonhlobo zama-pickup
Ukuthengwa kwe-Epiphone
Futhi ngo-1957, uGibson wathola uhlobo lwe-Epiphone.
I-Epiphone yayiyimbangi enkulu kaGibson ngeminyaka yawo-1930, kodwa yawela ezikhathini ezinzima futhi yathengwa eKalamazoo ukuze isebenze njengomugqa wesabelomali kaGibson.
I-Epiphone yaqhubeka nokukhiqiza amathuluzi ayo ayisakhiwo sodumo ngawo-1960, okuhlanganisa iCasino, iSheraton, iCoronet, iTexan neFrontier.
Les Paul ngeminyaka yama-60s nangale kwalokho
Ngo-1960, isiginci sika-Les Paul sasidinga ukulungiswa okukhulu.
Ngakho-ke u-Gibson wanquma ukuzibambela mathupha futhi anikeze idizayini inguquko enkulu - ngaphandle ngedizayini eyisikwe eyodwa ephezulu ene-arch futhi ingene ngomklamo womzimba oqinile ocijile, onezimpondo ezimbili ezicijile ukuze ufinyelele kalula kuma-frets angaphezulu.
Idizayini entsha ye-Les Paul yaba yingoma esheshayo lapho ikhishwa ngo-1961.
Kodwa yena u-Les Paul akazange ajabule kakhulu ngakho futhi wacela ukuba igama lakhe likhishwe esigingcini, naphezu kobukhosi ayebuthola kulowo nalowo owathengiswa.
Ngo-1963, i-Les Paul yayithathelwe indawo yi-SG.
Eminyakeni embalwa eyalandela i-Gibson ne-Epiphone bafinyelela ukuphakama okusha, neziginci eziyi-100,000 ezinkulu zathunyelwa ngo-1965!
Kodwa akuyona yonke into eyaba yimpumelelo - i-Firebird, eyakhululwa ngo-1963, yehlulekile ukusuka ngezindlela zayo zokuhlehla noma ezingahlehli.
Ngo-1966, ngemva kokwengamela ukukhula nempumelelo yenkampani engakaze ibonwe ngaphambili, uMcCarty wasuka eGibson.
I-Gibson Murphy Lab ES-335: ukubheka emuva enkathini yegolide yeziginci
Ukuzalwa kwe-ES-335
Kunzima ukukhomba kahle ukuthi iziginci ze-Gibson zingena nini esikhathini sazo segolide, kodwa amathuluzi enziwe e-Kalamazoo phakathi kuka-1958 no-1960 athathwa njenge-crème de la crème.
Ngo-1958, u-Gibson wakhulula isiginci sokuqala somhlaba sokuhweba se-semi-hollow - i-ES-335.
Le ngane ibilokhu iyisisekelo emculweni odumile kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, ngenxa yokuguquguquka kwayo, ukucacisa, nokwethembeka.
Ihlanganisa kahle imfudumalo ye-jazzbo kanye nezakhiwo zokunciphisa impendulo zesiginci sikagesi.
I-Les Paul Standard: Inganekwane Iyazalwa
Ngawo lowo nyaka, u-Gibson wakhipha i-Les Paul Standard - isiginci sikagesi esasizoba esinye sezinsimbi ezihlonishwa kakhulu ezake zaba khona.
Ifaka zonke izinsimbi namakhwela u-Gibson abekade esebenza kahle eminyakeni eyisithupha edlule, okuhlanganisa namahumbuckers ka-Seth Lovers (I-Patent Applied For), ibhuloho le-tune-o-matic, kanye nokuqeda okumangalisayo kwe-Sunburst.
Phakathi kuka-1958 no-1960, u-Gibson wenza cishe i-1,700 yalaba bahle - manje abaziwa ngokuthi ama-Bursts.
Zibhekwa kabanzi njengeziginci zikagesi ezihamba phambili ezake zenziwa.
Ngeshwa, emuva ngasekupheleni kwawo-50s, i ukudlala isiginci umphakathi awuzange uhlabeke umxhwele, futhi ukuthengisa bekuphansi.
Lokhu kwaholela ekutheni umklamo we-Les Paul uthathwe umhlalaphansi ngo-1960.
Zenziwa kuphi iziginci zikaGibson?
Njengoba sazi, uGibson yinkampani yesiginci yaseMelika.
Ngokungafani nezinye izinhlobo eziningi ezidumile ezifana ne-Fender (ethumela kwamanye amazwe), imikhiqizo ye-Gibson ikhiqizwa e-USA.
Ngakho-ke, iziginci zeGibson zenziwa ngokukhethekile e-United States, enamafekthri amabili amakhulu e-Bozeman, Montana, naseNashville, eTennessee.
U-Gibson wenza iziginci zabo ezinomzimba oqinile nezingenalutho endlunkulu yabo yaseNashville, kodwa benza iziginci zabo ze-acoustic esitshalweni esihlukile e-Montana.
Isitshalo esidumile senkampani i-Memphis sasivame ukukhiqiza iziginci ezingenalutho nezingenalutho.
Ama-luthier asezimbonini zase-Gibson aziwa ngobungcweti bawo obukhethekile nokunaka imininingwane.
Imboni yaseNashville yilapho uGibson ekhiqiza khona iziginci zabo zikagesi.
Le fekthri itholakala enhliziyweni ye-Music City, e-USA, lapho imisindo yomculo we-country, rock, ne-blues izungeza izisebenzi.
Kodwa okwenza izinsimbi zikaGibson zikhetheke ukuthi iziginci azikhiqizwa ngobuningi embonini yaphesheya kwezilwandle.
Esikhundleni salokho, enziwe ngesandla ngokunakekela yizingcweti nabesifazane abanamakhono e-United States.
Ngenkathi iziginci zeGibson zenziwa ikakhulukazi e-USA, inkampani futhi inezinhlobo ezingaphansi ezikhiqiza iziginci ngobuningi phesheya kwezilwandle.
Kodwa-ke, lezi ziginci azizona iziginci ze-Gibson eziyiqiniso.
Nawa amaqiniso mayelana neziginci ze-Gibson ezenziwe phesheya:
- I-Epiphone iwuphawu lwesiginci sesabelomali esiphethwe yi-Gibson Brands Inc. esikhiqiza izinguqulo zebhajethi zamamodeli adumile nabizayo e-Gibson.
- Ama-epiphone guitar akhiqizwa emazweni ahlukene, okuhlanganisa i-China, Korea, kanye ne-United States.
- Qaphela abakhohlisi abathi bathengisa iziginci ze-Gibson ngenani eliphansi lentengo. Njalo hlola ubuqiniso bomkhiqizo ngaphambi kokuthenga.
Isitolo sangokwezifiso saseGibson
I-Gibson futhi inesitolo sangokwezifiso esitholakala e-Nashville, e-Tennessee, lapho ama-luthiers anekhono akha amathuluzi aqoqwa ngesandla esebenzisa izinkuni zethoni ephezulu, i-hardware yangokwezifiso, nama-humbuckers angempela akwa-Gibson.
Nawa amaqiniso ngeGibson Custom Shop:

Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ungumculi okhokhelwayo noma ungumuntu othanda ukuzilibazisa, ukudlala isiginci se-Gibson kungakwenza uzizwe njengesihlabani sangempela se-rock.
Kodwa ake sibheke iziginci ezimbili ezichazayo ezibeka iziginci zikaGibson ebalazweni:
Isiginci se-archtop
U-Orville Gibson uhlonishwa ngokusungula isiginci se-semi-acoustic archtop, okuwuhlobo lwesiginci esiqoshwe phezulu njengamaviyolini.
Wadala futhi wagunyaza umklamo.
