In this Gibson Custom Shop tour, go behind the scenes with Gibson Gear Guide host Dinesh Lekhraj and see every step of your Gibson Custom guitar’s journey and how we stay true to our rich heritage and history of building guitars.

Meet the team at the Gibson Custom Shop, the skilled luthiers and craftspeople who handcraft your Gibson Custom guitars, and discover the profound sense of responsibility they feel while building your dream guitar that will become part of your musical journey.

Learn about how we grade and weigh woods used on Gibson guitars, how Gibson Made To Measure enables you to choose specific woods, wood tops, and weights of your guitars, and understand the differences between Gibson Custom offerings including Core Collection, Modern Collection, Murphy Lab, and Made To Measure.

Watch as we go through each process of building your guitars at the Gibson Custom Shop, from the arrival and choosing of woods, to shaping and carving your guitar’s top. Join the master craftspeople at Gibson Custom who explain what they do, and the care they take when building your guitar. Learn how each guitar is hand-bound, how the necks are chosen and sculpted based on their historic specs, how your Gibson guitars are dyed, sprayed, the binding hand-scraped, and then Plek’d. Finally, we are shown how our dedicated team assembles the electronics of your guitar, rolls the fretboards for added comfort, and then gives your guitar a professional set-up and final inspection before being placed in its case for you, ready to become part of your musical journey.
