You exceeded all our expectations. Our trip was definitely made easy by using vacations made easy. I would definitely use this site again.

On a factory tour, you'll see Gibson's first-class luthiers fashioning these one-of-a-kind guitars through every stage of production. Operations like binding, neck-fitting, painting, buffing and tuning are all performed to the highest standards of quality. 

Guides of the tour narrate stories about different musicians who have made a name for themselves in Memphis as well as anecdotes directly related to various guitars and requests from rock stars sponsored by Gibson. Learn how Les Paul got the inspiration to create the first of an innovative guitar style, and his journey to success after the first model was accepted. The expert guides are enthusiastic and extremely knowlegeable about Gibson as well as the history surrounding the factory. Come to the birthplace of the blues and learn about the guitars of legends.

Enjoyed, did not buy guitar but enjoyed knowing the skill and workmanship that is put into each instrument.

It would have been excellent had the factory actually been in production at the time of our tour. it was very informative.
Lisa Hardcastle - Rochelle, IL
One of the best tours and a great reason to visit Beale Street. We were fascinated by the construction of the guitars. The attention to detail is incredible. W particularly enjoyed seeing some of the custom work. Go Gibson
