NASHVILLE (CelebrityAccess) – Gibson, the iconic American instrument brand and its Gibson Custom Shop, announced today a partnership with acclaimed musician and songwriter Miranda Lambert – introducing the new Gibson Miranda Lambert Bluebird, her first-ever signature guitar.
The rare Gibson acoustic guitar is made in the USA, hand-crafted in the storied Gibson Acoustic factory in Bozeman, Montana, by Gibson’s expert acoustic luthiers. The new Miranda Lambert Bluebird from Gibson Custom Shop is now available worldwide at authorized Gibson dealers and Gibson’s official website.
“I have been playing Gibson acoustic guitars for so long now, so to be able to partner with such an iconic brand to create my own version of the classic Hummingbird is a dream come true,” shared Lambert. “I hope this encourages musicians everywhere – especially young girls – to pick up a Bluebird and chase the same dream that guitars have made true for me.”
“At Gibson, we’re always seeking ways to lift the voices of artists who have shaped the sound of genres. Miranda is a trailblazing artist that represents the best that country music has to offer,” says Codey Allen, Director Cultural Influence-North America at Gibson Brands. “Her immense talent, authenticity, and dedication to the craft of songwriting, as well as her unwavering commitment to encourage more girls and women to play guitar, are what inspired us to create the Miranda Lambert Bluebird Acoustic guitar.”
Lambert, Academy of Country Music (ACM) Entertainer of the Year, passionate animal advocate, restaurateur, businesswoman, and New York Times best-selling author, Lambert is among the brightest stars in modern country music.
Lambert’s music and mission have been honored with a new Gibson signature guitar, her first-ever model, the Miranda Lambert Bluebird. A variation of the iconic Gibson Hummingbird, the Miranda Lambert Bluebird is as distinctive as its namesake and features a square shoulder mahogany body with a Sitka spruce top, a striking Bluebonnet nitrocellulose lacquer finish celebrating the official flower of Lambert’s home state of Texas, and a custom Bluebird pickguard inspired by her chart-topping song of the same name. The L.R. Baggs VTC electronics make this exceptional guitar stage and studio ready from the moment you take it out of the included hardshell case.
