The artisans of the Gibson Custom Shop locations in Nashville, Tennessee, and Bozeman, Montana, handcraft the world’s most desirable electric and acoustic guitars. Our talented team takes great pride in uniting players with their dream guitar, and on those rare occasions when our catalog or Limited Edition instruments aren’t exactly what you are looking for, the Gibson Custom Made to Measure program is designed to offer our most discerning customers the personalized comfort of an instrument tailored to their individual needs.

The Gibson Custom Made to Measure program offers an expanded selection of options on our most sought-after guitars, giving you the opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind, heirloom instrument handcrafted to your personal specifications, right down to the last detail.

Perhaps you’ve always loved the idea of a weight-relieved ’57 Goldtop with a SlimTaper neck profile. Or maybe you want us to color-match the metallic blue paint job from your very first car. Whatever you dream up, using one of our iconic Gibson models as a starting point, working directly with the artisans from the Gibson Custom Shop locations in Nashville and Bozeman, our Garage Pros and approved Gibson Custom dealers will guide you through the Made to Measure process and help you make it a reality. Gibson Custom Made to Measure delivers an unrivaled customer service experience and a one-of-a-kind guitar that is uniquely yours and like no other.

At the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, every day is a new thrill. Down the road from the main Gibson craftory, Gibson Custom luthiers build our most coveted instruments with uncompromising craftsmanship, artistry, and historical accuracy. No detail is too fine, no labor too intensive. Our expert craftspeople develop, build, and custom-age each guitar with the obsession of a true aficionado.

Meanwhile, at the Gibson Acoustic Custom Shop in Bozeman, we continue our tradition of acoustic instrument-making that dates back more than 130 years. The world has changed, but the art has stayed much the same: we still get our clear, rich sound from carefully chosen tonewoods, we fit each dovetail neck joint by hand, and we craft our guitars to improve with age.

Have you ever wanted to get your hands on a 1959 ES-355 in Frost Blue with Murphy Lab aging? Or how about a Gibson SG™ with the electronics and cosmetics from a 1956 Les Paul™ Goldtop? In this behind-the-scenes tour of the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee, Gibson Gear Guide host Dinesh Lekhraj joins members of the Gibson Custom team and checks out some of the most desirable recent Made to Measure builds.
