My Guitar Notes

Gibson G-101

The Gibson G-101 is a portable electronic organ from the company's range of keyboard instruments, part of the expansion into electronics that Gibson pursued alongside its guitars in the middle of the twentieth century. Instruments of this kind generate their tones electrically and are designed to be carried and set up easily, with a compact cabinet and a speaker built in, and they were intended for domestic use and for small groups rather than for large venues. The G-101 is catalogued as one of these portable organs; it is not a guitar, and it survives in the record as evidence of the breadth of Gibson's manufacturing.
