Included in the Music Experience is a ticket for a tour at the Gibson factory, just off Beale Street. Even if you are not into Gibson (I’m a Fender and Gretsch woman myself) this is definitely worth the visit. You’ll catch a glimpse of how the guitars are made, all by hand. Bear in mind that there is just a... More

If you are a music fan this is a must see. I guess I never really thought about the detail or time that went into making a guitar. At this factory you can see them make hollow guitars (they make the solid bodies at the factory in Nashville). The gentleman that gave us our tour was very knowledgable about the... More

The small Gibson factory in Memphis is an interesting tour for musicians, or just music fans. The tour price is $10 and lasts about 45 - 50 minutes.

It was a bright modern building- definitely full of wood dust And loud at times though. The store was filled with beautiful guitars for sale. The whole experience... More

My daughter loves to sing, and accompanies herself on guitar. When we saw the Gibson building, we ventured in and learned they do factory tours, and they are only $10/person. The rest of the tours that day were sold out, so we reserved a slot the next day. What a blast. This factory makes the semi-hollow and hollow body electric... More
