In this clip from our Gibson Gear Guide Gibson Custom Shop tour, we’re taking a backstage look at where your Gibson Custom guitar begins its lifelong journey with you. Welcome to the Gibson Custom Shop Whitewood department, where the wood for your Gibson Custom guitar is stored and hand-selected to be made into your guitar at the Gibson Custom Shop.

Join us today, where Gibson Gear Guide host Dinesh Lekhraj and Director of Made to Measure at Gibson Brands, Dustin Wainscott, are meeting Ian Smith at the Gibson Custom Shop, who is part of the team responsible for creating the first stages of the body of your Gibson Custom guitar. We’ll learn a bit more about how the body of your guitar is carved from a block of wood.

In this exclusive tour, you’ll see where the magic begins, from the very early stages of the guitar, which starts as a simple slab of lovingly selected tonewood and eventually becomes your guitar. Whether it’s made into iconic models like the Gibson ‘59 Les Paul, Korina Flying V, or ES-335 and more, each guitar at the Gibson Custom Shop starts its journey by hand. Watch as Dustin walks us through the wood selection process, including climate-controlled storage, kiln drying, and how materials like maple, mahogany, and Korina are prepared for Gibson Custom guitar bodies and necks, and learn a bit more about how careful we are with the selection process.

We also catch up with Ian, a seasoned Custom Shop team member, who explains the precision involved in shaping and pressing the wood into guitar bodies. Whether it’s sanding maple tops or gluing mahogany backs, the Gibson Custom Shop luthiers meticulously carry out every step. Ian also shares his journey through the Custom Shop, detailing how his passion for guitar building came about and how much he cares about YOUR guitar.

This Gibson Custom Shop tour gives you a rare glimpse into the craftsmanship that goes into every Gibson Custom guitar – it’s a lot!
