Guitar Story
Through the 1990s, Gibson Guitar Corp. / Gibson Brands, Inc. (2013) / Gibson, Inc. (2024) controlled the Gibson name, and 2 plants built it: Gibson Nashville (Massman Dr) and Gibson Bozeman (acoustic plant).[1, 2]
3 eras touch the 1990s across 2 lines. Nothing changed inside the decade, so every Gibson from these years is the same version on its line.
