The journey has begun for the Gibson-manufactured Alabama-shaped guitar. It's circulating through the Alabama music scene in honor of the Alabama Department of Tourism's "Year of the Music" campaign- and it's off to a pretty impressive start.
Since the Alabama Jamma's debut in 2010, the state shaped Les Paul-esque guitar has graced the fingers of musicians such as Bo Bice, 311 and even former Bon Jovi lead guitarist Richie Sambora. It was even set to be featured on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," but didn't make it due to scheduling conflict.
If the laundry list of musicians to play the guitar in 2010 is any indication of what's in store this year, Alabama Jamma is in for a wild ride.
If only guitars could talk.
In the video below, creator Mike McGuire from Gibson Custom Guitars gives inside look into the manufacturing process, how it was built and the materials they used to create of the Alabama Jamma.
Here a link back to another story on this same guitar that he used with some pictures I took.
