Top 10 Best Gibson Guitars

The top ten guitars made by Gibson, not including custom shop guitars.

The Top Ten

  1. Explorer Reissue '76

    James Hetfield.

  2. Les Paul Classic Vintage Sunburst

    It's amazing. Why is the Explorer Reissue '76 even up there? Not only do I think it looks stupid, but the sound and total value are ten times worse. When I play a Les Paul Classic, it feels perfect. When I play an Explorer Reissue, it compares to a higher-quality Epiphone. It's an amazing guitar and is very fun to play. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a decent amount of skill with guitars.

    The Explorer Reissue '76 is terrible compared to this beauty. The vintage sunburst color is very rich. I would rather pay $10,000 for this than $100 for the Explorer Reissue '76.

  3. SG Angus Young Signature

    It's better than the Les Paul for its sound and looks cooler with the cherry red and its buffalo-like horns.

    This guitar has horns like the devil. The devil is rock and roll, so yeah, the Les Paul sucks.

    Angus Young is awesome. Combined with the SG, you get a monster.

  4. SG '61 Reissue Worn Cherry

    Nice looking, nice sounding.

  5. '59 Flying V

  6. X-plorer New Century Ebony

    Crazy guitar. Best with heavy distortion.

    Oh, the Explorer is a great guitar.

  7. Gibson Jr Billie Joe Signature

    Just an awesome raw tone. If you twiddle the tone knob just right, you can emulate a neck pickup from the H-90 bridge, so you can still get the Sweet Child O' Mine lead tones!

  8. Melody Maker Satin White

    Very nice for classic rock and melody making.

  9. Firebird Studio Ebony/Gold

    Very unique sound. Weird guitar.

  10. V-Factor Reverse Flying V

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Les Paul Custom

  12. ?

    Tony Iommi SG

    13. The Contenders

  13. 1937 L-00

    Crazy acoustic guitar, great for just about everything - except rock.

  14. Buckethead Signature Les Paul

  15. Firebird X

    It's amazing!

    Very light and comfortable.

  16. V-Factor Flying V

    Great sound and good looking, plus Kirk Hammett has one.

  17. Gibson Dark Fire

  18. Les Paul Studio Worn Cherry

  19. DG-335

  20. Songwriter Deluxe Studio

    I've only been playing for one month, but the Songwriter Deluxe Studio makes me want to keep on learning.

  21. Zakk Wylde Bullseye
