The iconic Gibson Guitar Strap – supreme quality and comfort from a name you can trust.
We couldn’t have a Fender Guitar Strap post without including the competition. So, without further ado, here it is, the Gibson Guitar Strap post.
By the time Gibson began work on its first electric guitar, the company already had a 40-year tradition of quality and innovation. The first Gibson electric guitar had to be nothing less than the best electric guitar the world had ever seen.
In 1935, Gibson enlisted musician Alvino Rey to help develop a prototype pickup with engineers at the Lyon & Healy company in Chicago. Later that year, research was moved in-house, where Gibson employee Walter Fuller came up with the final design. Gibson introduced the distinctive hexagonal pickup on a lap steel model in late 1935. The pickup was installed on an F-hole arch-top guitar, dubbed the ES-150, “ES” for Electric Spanish, and the first one shipped from the Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on May 20, 1936.
