Where are Les Pauls made?

[SamBooka]

So someone told me his buddy did a Gibson factory tour last week and they said that les pauls arent made in Tenn. anymore. They are made in one of those middle square states. "Montana? I doesnt ring a bell" but he didnt think it was Montana.

Thoughts?

I think Gibson acoustics are.

Memphis, with the Historics being made in Nashville. Never heard otherwise.

Pretty sure Gibson manufactures guitars in Nashville and Memphis (semi-hollow and custom shop), TN, as well as Bozeman, MT (acoustics maybe). I think they also have some manufacturing in Canada.

The acoustics are made in Bozeman Montana, the electrics I believe are made in Nashville and Memphis.

Maybe your thinking of the state they used to be made in, Michigan.

I have an LP that was made in Kalamazoo Michigan...it's called The Kalamazoo Model.

I've heard they are being made at the old Kramer factory in NJ.

The best ones are still made in Kalamazoo.

Factories. The plurality is the issue.

A town called Crapville, since the '70s.

Gibson makes their semi-hollows and hollows in Memphis. Les Pauls are made in Nashville.

I heard Gibson just opened a les Paul facility in les Paul Colorado. The square state.

THIS. Acoustics in Bozeman, Montana. They say during the Gibson tour in Memphis that all the white guitars are sprayed there.
