Original content about Gibson Guitars, Guitar Collections and Gibson Artists now available.
NASHVILLE, TN (January 7, 2020) Gibson today announced GIBSON TV, the iconic American-made guitar maker’s first-ever all-original network. Featuring original series from the world’s best storytellers, GIBSON TV launched worldwide today, January 7, with the first episodes of the series titled “THE PROCESS” and “THE COLLECTION” available for streaming.
GibsonTV has premiered the second episode of the series titled “ICONS”–a longform interview series with some of the most iconic artists, producers and music business pioneers.
In this episode, GibsonTV sits down with heavy metal pioneer Tony Iommi to talk about his early years in Birmingham, England, the accident that almost ended his career as a guitarist and his 55-year musical journey with Black Sabbath. Tony Iommi’s career, like the man himself, is universally loved and revered. And while his innovative tuning and playing styles were a major part of his monstrous tones, a Gibson SG named “Monkey” was at the center of it all.
GIBSON TV will offer an inspiring and powerful lineup of all-new exclusive, original shows, including:
- “THE PROCESS” – Season 1 of “The Process” takes a cinematic look at Gibson’s crown jewel, the main Gibson USA Factory in our hometown of Nashville, TN. This landmark series will take viewers on an episodic look at the physical process of how a Gibson guitar is made as well as introduce them to the artisans who hand-craft these beloved instruments.
