NASHVILLE, TN (November 23, 2022) The Gibson Generation Collection opens a new evolution in sound for acoustic guitar players. Handcrafted in Bozeman, Montana, by the highly skilled craftspeople who make all Gibson acoustic guitars, the Generation Collection is proud to unveil the new G-Bird--based on the iconic Gibson Hummingbird acoustic guitar--to round out the series which includes the previously announced G-00, G-45, G-Writer, and the G-200. The Generation Collection is equipped with a Gibson Player Port™ on the upper bout: an original 1964 Gibson concept refined today by the Gibson Lab.

The G-Bird, the newest addition to the Generation Collection--represents the glorious legacy of the Gibson Hummingbird™ colliding with modern sonic enhancement through the Gibson Player Port to add a new dimension to the G-Bird sound. The Gibson Player Port allows players to hear more of themselves as the audience hears it. With a tone that is crisp and resonant, all of the Gibson Generation Collection acoustics are designed to be comfortable to hold and play for long periods of time. All Generation Collection guitars feature the Gibson Player Port, slim, lightweight bodies, a flatter fingerboard radius, Walnut back and sides, Sitka spruce tops, and a stunning Natural finish. Additionally, the new G-Bird, and the G-200 and G-Writer are equipped with LR Baggs™ Element Bronze pickup systems which amplify deep bass and crystal-clear highs.

The all-new Gibson Generation Accessories Collection is now available. The Generation Accessories Collection was specifically developed to provide essential accessories for the new Gibson Generation Collection acoustic guitars. The collection includes an eco-friendly, adjustable hemp guitar strap, an electronic headstock tuner for easy and accurate tuning of any guitar, feedback-busting soundhole covers, and even a Player Port cover for those times an artist playing on stage that wants a more traditional acoustic guitar response. In addition, the Generation soundhole covers work with many other Gibson acoustic models.

Gibson built its first “Super Jumbo” SJ-200 as a custom order for country and western singer and film star Ray Whitley, who desired a big, loud, and deep flat-top over which to croon. The SJ-200 quickly became a staple of cowboy singers and horseback troubadours, and then country music, 60’s folk stars, and onto every acoustic guitar genre that has followed. Ray would be proud to hear the booming sound from the Gibson Player Port™ on the new G-200, which comes ready for the stage or studio with a LR Baggs™ Element Bronze pickup system.

Check out what critics are saying about the Gibson Generation Collection:

“Gibson’s New Generation Collection is designed for players of all sizes, skill levels and bank accounts that are in the market for a genuine American acoustic built with solid woods in the venerable manufacturer’s Bozeman, Montana factory. Solid American craftsmanship at a value and in a range of sizes and styles designed to deliver fundamentally classic tones with modern playability.”

--GUITAR PLAYER (4 star review)

“The J-45 is generally celebrated for its powerful midrange presence, slightly dark overtones, and a tight low-end without too much boom. The G-45 follows that basic recipe, but the port sends more of those bronze top-end colors to your ears, and adds a certain air to the sound.”

--ACOUSTIC GUITAR

“Generation guitars are built with solid woods in the same Bozeman, Montana, facility that makes the company's top-shelf flattops. …the G-00 sounds especially lovely in detuned settings, exhibiting bass richness that's uncommon in a guitar this size in this price range.”

--PREMIER GUITAR

“All four instruments have an open airiness to them with great definition and clarity and, especially in the case of the little G-00, bags of volume. The more pronounced effect is from the player’s perspective; it’s like you have a little monitor right in front of you, giving you a more focused idea of what the guitar is doing.”

--GUITAR WORLD (4.5 star review)

“The Gibson Generation Collection’s clean designs, great tones and playability make for a compelling range of forward-thinking instruments that make US-built acoustics more affordable than ever.”
