From their earliest days as Boston punks to their present status as Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, Joe Perry and Aerosmith have endured the test of time and triumphed. And just as Aerosmith's music has evolved, so have Joe's ideas about what his Signature Model Les Paul should be. The new Joe Perry Signature Model -- with its unique Green Tiger finish and "Boneyard" logo (among other key features) -- is a dramatic departure from the original limited-run Custom Shop Joe Perry model of 1996.

The Johnny A. Signature model combines several innovative design aspects with loads of vintage Gibson appointments. The completely hollow body features contoured outer surfaces but a flat inner back, resulting in less feedback and bright, snappy response. A custom neck profile, and custom pearl inlays combine with traditional features like multi-ply binding, gold hardware, and an ebony fretboard to create an instrument that captures the magic of Gibson's past while eagerly anticipating the future.

Gibson Montana and rock icon Pete Townshend have recreated the 1960s J-200 that he used to pen such classic hits as "Pinball Wizard" from The Who's 1969 rock opera Tommy and "Won't Get Fooled Again."

In 1957, "Patent Applied For" humbuckers became standard issue on both the Les Paul Model and the Les Paul Custom. To go along with its already upscale appointments, the Les Paul Custom was made available with either two or three of these quiet, powerful new pickups. Now part of Gibson's proprietary new Vintage Original Spec series -- the next step in the journey toward perfection.

The SG Custom replaced the single cutaway Les Paul Custom in 1961. With three "Patent Applied For" humbuckers, gold hardware, multiple binding, and an ebony fretboard to go along with the new thinline body, the SG Custom maintained the standard of elegance set by the original Les Paul Custom.

Even though Gibson had orginally created the laminated top ES-175 in 1948 to fill the need for an electric version of the acoustic, carved top L-4C, the demand still existed for an electric L-4 with a fully carved top. In the late 1950's Gibson answered this call by releasing small runs of variously configured L-4CES guitars: some with Charlie Christian pickups, some with Alnico pickups, and some with humbuckers. For today's player, the Custom Collection offers the L-4CES in its final incarnation.

The sleek lines of its Grand Auditorium body are accentuated by a softly-rounded Venetian cutaway, complementing the 914ce's shimmering appointments.

The Taylor 916CE is a premium-grade Sitka/Indian rosewood GS cutaway guitar whic is robust without sacrificing any tonal definition.

The Steve Howe Signature ES-175 celebrates the achievements of the man who elevated rock guitar into an art form. As a member of the English band Yes, Steve's tasteful, eclectic guitar parts helped define a new style of music. On later solo albums, he emerged as an accomplished jazz player. Through it all, his favorite has always been his 1964 Gibson ES-175, and his signature guitar is modeled after his personal guitar.

The Les Paul Custom, introduced in 1954, has been affectionately nicknamed the Black Beauty and the Fretless Wonder. By any name, it has always represented the highest level of elegance and beauty in the Les Paul family.

The incredible luthiers of Gibson Acoustic in Montana have created replicas of their top five historic models. These guitars have been added to satisfy the demands of the discriminating vintage guitar customer. The Hummingbird model is the gorgeous model seen on stage and heard in many famous recordings from the 60s and 70s. This historically accurate model brings you that much closer to that era of music.
