Hear all about it – Gibson is opening the Gibson Garage, and throwing a major party to celebrate
2021 is shaping up to be the year of getting back to rocking in the garage, and Guitar World Tech Editor has a special announcement about the best spot to do it – the Gibson Garage.
The new feature-packed superstore – located in downtown Nashville, the heart of Music City – is the “ultimate guitar experience,” with 8,000 square feet of space stocked with all the latest electric and acoustic guitars from Gibson, Gibson Custom Shop, Epiphone and Kramer, as well as Mesa/Boogie amps and KRK studio equipment.
The Gibson Garage also houses a state-of-the-art stage for live and virtual performances, an in-house Custom Shop to build your own guitars and a Repair and Restoration Center.

The star-studded shindig will feature performances from Warren Haynes, Marcus King, Joe Bonamassa, Samantha Fish, Lzzy Hale, Orianthi and Jared James Nichols among many, many others, and will benefit Gibson’s Gibson Gives charity, with proceeds supporting non-profit organizations MusiCares and Save the Music.
The Gibson Live gala airs June 9 at 6:30 PM CT, and you can watch it all go down on Gibson TV.
