Nashville, Tenn...July 3, 2007...Gibson Guitar, the world?s premiere musical instrument manufacturer and leader in music technology, announced today its acquisition of Garrison Guitars, a company based in St. John?s Newfoundland, Canada.

The acquisition will further Gibson?s expansion in the acoustic guitar market, offering a new series of Gibson brand acoustic guitars aimed at the median price point to be introduced at the Summer NAMM convention in Austin, Texas.

never got to play a garrison. i think their whole bracing system is interesting but i'm definitely skeptical of acoustic guitars not made out of wood. ever see or play rainsong guitars? they're flat tops made entirely out of graphite or something, so you could actually play them in the rain! pretty weird though.
