In this demo, André Skinner takes a first look at the brand new 2025 Gibson Acoustic Special Series, crafted for players who crave vintage tone with modern flair. These guitars blend classic Gibson design with updated features that make them stage and studio-ready right out of the case.

The 2025 lineup features fan-favourite models like the J-45 and Hummingbird, and L-00 now available in stunning new finishes. Highlights include solid Sitka spruce tops, mahogany or rosewood backs and sides (depending on the model), and smooth-playing SlimTaper neck profiles. Whether you're strumming or fingerpicking, these acoustics deliver the rich, balanced tone Gibson is known for, with fresh style to match.
