“Museum-grade works of art”: Gibson has unveiled its most ambitious set of Master Artisan instruments yet – trust us, you’ve never seen Custom Shop guitars quite like this before

Gibson Artisan Collection.

When Gibson launched its Master Artisan Series of electric guitars in 2022 with an extremely limited run of Leo Scala-designed Flying Vs, it kickstarted a series that has seen the firm go on to celebrate a couple of its standout luthiers. 

Since that initial drop, more ultra-exclusive Leo Scala creations have extended the range to include a Les Paul, SG, and Theodore, while Gibson’s in-house artisan master Rickie Hinrichsen has also delivered three Les Pauls and an amp to the series.
