Watch Season 2, Episode 10 of “The Process” for a behind-the-scenes look at our buffing process for Gibson Acoustic guitars.

Ever wondered how we buff your Gibson Acoustic guitars?

At Gibson, we craft guitars that not only stand the test of time but also become cherished heirloom instruments. We know that first impressions are important. Before you take a Gibson acoustic guitar home, you have to first be drawn to it. Maybe it is the finish, the flame of the wood, or the way it pops on the wall at your local guitar shop. The buffing process is the foundation for the quality of the appearance that makes that first impression special.

In this next episode of The Process, we see what’s involved in the buffing process at Gibson’s Montana factory and how every luthier at Gibson feels the immense responsibility to make the best guitars they can, every time. Listen as the talented craftspeople show us and explain the finer details of wet sanding and different buffing processes while taking us on a small tour of the Gibson acoustic factory, highlighting how bodies and necks are buffed and which Gibson acoustic guitars are buffed and which are not.

See just how hands-on the buffing process is and how intricate the building of a Gibson acoustic guitar really is, including the different waxes used. Watch as our luthiers ensure that your Gibson acoustic looks as beautiful as it does when you first walk into a guitar shop or open your guitar case. Finally, hear from Cesar Gueikian, Gibson’s President and CEO, as he shares his vision for the Gibson brand and reflects on the significance of a Gibson acoustic guitar’s first impression.

Gibson TV’s award-winning docuseries, “The Process,” is returning for a second season! This time, we’re taking you behind the scenes for an in-depth look at the physical process of making our acoustic guitars. “The Process” explores our newly expanded acoustic factory in Bozeman, MT, featuring interviews with the talented craftspeople who hand-make these beloved guitars and deep dives into the art of guitar making.
