Throughout our history, we have been fortunate to have a talented female workforce here at Gibson. Most famously, the Gibson Gals developed and built the coveted Banner J-45 in the 1940s, and since then, that workforce has continued to grow into a fleet of gifted luthiers working in our factories today. In this episode of The Process, get an up-close look at the precise and detail-oriented work that goes into binding scraping Gibson Acoustic guitars and see how we achieve that perfect patina on our acoustics.
In this behind-the-scenes video filmed at the Gibson Acoustic factory in Bozeman, MT, we see how much care and attention goes into binding scraping on Gibson Acoustic guitars. Watch as the luthiers in the Gibson Acoustic craftory in Bozeman, Montana, show you step-by-step how they hand-scrape the binding, rosette, and headstock, and apply headstock decals by hand. Learn how the finishing process differs for Gibson Acoustic banner-headstock guitars, and watch as we explain how your instrument is given a subtle patina to simulate the effect of age on the plastics and its nitrocellulose finish.
Gibson TV’s award-winning docuseries, “The Process,” is returning for a second season! This time, we’re taking you behind the scenes for an in-depth look at the physical process of making our acoustic guitars. “The Process” explores our newly expanded Gibson acoustic factory in Bozeman, MT, featuring interviews with the talented craftspeople who hand-make these beloved guitars and deep dives into the art of guitar making.
