NAMM 2019: Gibson's epic stand in pictures
Revered maker makes splash on its return
NAMM 2019: It won't have escaped your notice that Gibson are back at NAMM, after a one year furlough.
The resurgent Nashville giant making a good fist of it too, giving players what they want with traditional-spec electrics and more affordable acoustics, all in an epic 23-strong line-up, and arguably dominating pre-show proceedings with the reveal for their Chuck Berry 350T tribute.
Better still, their NAMM comeback sees the return of its as-extensive-as-ever booth, host to one of the most desirable and extensive arrays of models and finishes in Anaheim.
