Nashville, TN (PRWEB) July 08, 2013 -- The transformation from Gibson Guitars to Gibson Brands reflects the company’s comprehensive lineup of premium products that now covers the entire music and sound signal chain—from the musician’s hands to the listener’s heart.
A major highlight at the Summer NAMM show (held from July 11-13 at Nashville’s new Music City Center) is the gorgeous new 1934 Original Jumbo acoustic guitar, which combines Gibson’s excellence in acoustic guitar manufacturing with the attention to detail that reproduces every nuance of this classic musical instrument. Painstakingly researched and crafted to insure complete accuracy, this limited-run guitar—only 100 will ever be made—is a triumph of both elegance and historical precision that captures the dignified, yet enchanting, magic of the first jumbo acoustic.
Gibson will also showcase Gibson Pure instrument cables, which re-invent the cable by essentially eliminating handling noise, even with high-gain setups—while providing the ideal electrical match for pickups, noise-free plugging/unplugging, unprecedented suppleness, and a lifetime warranty.
Experience additional innovations at the Gibson Brands booth (#1526), including Cerwin-Vega!’s powerhouse P-Series powered speakers, Stanton’s “mil-spec” STR8.150 turntable, KRK’s Rockit 2 series monitors, Onkyo’s room-filling iLunar stereo system, TASCAM’s best-selling DR-40 digital recorder, and more. Then enter the “Gibson Brands—Stay Tuned!” giveaway, and you may win the grand prize: an SG with Min-ETune™ “robot” tuning.
There’s even a version of the popular “Beat the Robot” contest that debuted at the Frankfurt Musikmesse, along with six free workshops (repeated daily), that provide lessons from expert luthiers and techs on guitar setup and repair techniques—all hosted from the photo op-friendly Nissan/Gibson-branded NV200 repair van, which was a major hit at the 2013 New York Auto Show.
“We wanted to give showgoers something to talk about,” states Gibson Brands Chairman and CEO Henry Juszkiewicz. “This has been in incredibly exciting and positive year for Gibson, and we’re bringing that spirit to Summer NAMM. Others can supply the doom and gloom—we’ll bring the magic. Join us.”
