The Gibson Garage London marks the first-ever Gibson flagship store outside of the U.S. and follows the opening of the Gibson Garage Nashville. The Gibson Garage London is located at 61-62 Eastcastle St, London, UK, just off Oxford Street, and is open daily.
In this episode of the show, Mark Agnesi and The Darkness tour through the flagship store, including the performance stage, the Gibson Gallery, the Made-to-Measure room, the dedicated Acoustic, Epiphone, and Kramer areas, as well as the hidden Gibson Artist Lounge which houses a collection of rare guitars, a piano and a secret bar, all tucked behind a replica of a traditional red phone box.
At the Gibson Garage London, music lovers can design their own “Made-to-Measure” guitar inside the Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab by selecting a unique guitar wood top off the wall and choosing the specs inside and out. The Gibson Garage London features one of the largest displays of Gibson Acoustic guitars in the entire UK, as well as areas for Epiphone electric, acoustic, and bass guitars, and the biggest display of Kramer guitars in the UK.
