Guitar industry legend and Gibson president through the '50s and '60s Ted McCarty helped develop some of the brands most iconic designs including the Les Paul, ES-335 and Explorer. He was known for sketching new instrument ideas during meetings, and on March 18th, 1957 - Ted drew and presented a new solidbody design which has never been produced - until today!
