The 8,000-square-foot store will host a “state-of-the-art stage” for both in-person and virtual events, a custom shop for building your own guitar, repair and restoration center and much more.
It will also serve as a product hub for Gibson and all its brands. That includes Epiphone and Kramer, Mesa Boogie and KRK. Gibson also promises limited-edition instruments, gear and apparel to be available in-store.
