In the fall of 2020, Gibson unearthed an unmarked reel while digging through vault archives. Intrigued by the discovery, Gibson TV producers took that reel and had it digitally remastered. The footage you are about to see was shot at Gibson's Factory in 1967. It has never been seen until now.

This documentary, filmed in 1967 shows you the sheer amount of craftsmanship, attention to detail and care that went into, and still goes into making a Gibson guitar. A process that has only been improved with each passing year.

In this lost Gibson factory documentary, we get a closer look into how Gibson guitars were made back in the 60s, the process of choosing tonewoods and the origins of the F-shape soundholes featured in ES and semi-hollow body Gibson guitars.

Watch as Gibson luthiers create a Gibson guitar step by step, choosing tonewoods, shaping acoustic and electric guitars, and installing mother-of-pearl inlays. Then get a closer look into the finishing process and the installation of electronics, right down to the matching of humbuckers with guitars in this never before seen documentary.

Eagle-eyed viewers will also spot the Gibson amplifier factory line, responsible for creating some of the world's most sought-after amplifiers, sadly, no longer in production…right now.

Chances are, if you own a Gibson guitar from 1967 - your guitar could be in this lost Gibson documentary!
