About Gibson Montana:
Luthier Orville Gibson founded the Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Mfg. Co. Ltd. in Kalamazoo, MI in 1902. Its original aim was to make mandolins and mandolin-family instruments. Over the last 100-plus years, Gibson Brands, Inc., as it is now known, has since evolved into the worlds premier manufacturer of semi-hollow and hollow body electric guitars, as well as a celebrated portfolio of innovative solid-body and acoustic models.
Some people hear their own inner voices with great clearness. And they live by what they hear. Such people become crazy… or they become legend. So wrote Montana author Jim Harrison, perhaps about the master luthiers of Gibson Montana, which produces all of Gibsons acoustic guitars.
