History of Gibsons PAF Pickups

By the mid-1950s, Gibson wanted to counter the latest electric guitars introduced by competitors and especially those by Fender. Leo Fender had built a company from nothing in the mid-1940s to a substantial factor in the solid-body guitar market. Gibson believed they could beat Fender and other rivals for market share by developing a low-noise pickup.

Legendary Solidbodies Guitars

Solidbody guitars as we know them today were developed around 1947 or '48 in southern California, but precisely how this came about is somewhat unclear.....

A Little Knowledge of The Blues

Alot of us like the Style we call the blues but not many of us actually know the history behind it. Blues music is the backbone of all of todays American Music. So if you like the style of Rock,Country,Jazz,Folk etc they all came from the blues! Yeah even Metallica. Blues music is said to have started in the cotton fields back in the early 1900's. Black Slaves would sing to each other trying to ease the pain of everyday life as a slave.

Guitar History

I get this question alot from beginners. You can break down your selection into 2 main guitar types. (1) Being the Gibson Les Paul and (2) Being the Fender Stratocaster. Of course there's more guitars out there like Paul Reed Smith,ESP,G&L,Hamer,Jackson but they are second generation guitars as I call em.
