Throughout our history, we have been fortunate to have a talented female workforce here at Gibson. Most famously, the "Kalamazoo Gals" developed and built the coveted Banner J-45 in the 1940s, and since then, that workforce has continued to grow into a fleet of gifted luthiers working in our factories today. In this episode of The Process, get an up-close look at the precise and detail-oriented work that goes into binding scraping Gibson Acoustic guitars and see how we achieve that perfect patina on our acoustics with a behind-the-scenes look at the spraying process.
In this behind-the-scenes video filmed at the Gibson Acoustic factory in Bozeman, MT, we see how much care and attention goes into binding scraping on Gibson Acoustic guitars. Watch as the luthiers in the Gibson Acoustic craftory in Bozeman, Montana, show you step-by-step how they hand-scrape the binding, rosette, and headstock, and apply headstock decals by hand after the guitars have been sprayed. Learn how the finishing process differs for Gibson Acoustic banner-headstock guitars, and watch as we explain how your instrument is given a subtle patina to simulate the effect of age on the plastics and its nitrocellulose finish.
Gibson TV’s award-winning docuseries, “The Process,” is returning for a second season! This time, we’re taking you behind the scenes for an in-depth look at the physical process of making our acoustic guitars. “The Process” explores our newly expanded Gibson acoustic factory in Bozeman, MT, featuring interviews with the talented craftspeople who hand-make these beloved guitars and deep dives into the art of guitar making.

The book “Kalamazoo Gals” by John Thomas is an excellent book detailing all the women who made the Gibson Banner guitars during WWII. Highly recommended book.
Thank you!
I remember reading about the "Kalamazoo gals" in a book by John Thomas. Amazing guitars!
No better place to learn the history of Banner Gibsons and the Kalamazoo Gals than John Thomas’s book “Kalamazoo Gals”.
Thank you!
Kalamazoo Gals is a wonderful book written by John Thomas who dug out the history of these ladies making guitars during the war despite a lot of resistance. But for his diligence this history would have been lost to the public.
Thank you!
Nice to see a token mention of the women Gibson leaned heavily on for its survival, but they were known as the Kalamazoo Gals, NOT the Gibson gals, and they're well-documented in John Thomas' book of the same name - fascinating read.
The fact is, there's a compelling case that Gibson tried to keep this quiet out of its typical brand image paranoia. At least it's finally starting to acknowledge their contribution - some of the best-sounding acoustics to ever come from Gibson.
Thank you!
Best documentary series on CZcams. Congrats and thank you!
Thanks for watching
I had no idea this was hand scraped! Definitely makes me feel better about my Gibson acoustic
Which hand?
Those precise, steady hands do their magic. Incredibly enlightening episode! 😀
Please, read the book by John Thomas on Kalamazoo Gals. He spoke to the women that made the Banner guitars. Must read!
Thank you!
I recently played a Gibson banner new issue and it totally blew me away, to many features to tell of which only a brilliant guitar can bring to the table, thank you ladies I am forever in your debt.
Great Work, my J45 Rocks ❤
I bought a J-45 studio rosewood last week and it’s so awesome seeing how it was made!
"Gibson Gals" they were not called, no paraphrasing needed. Kalamazoo Gals is the title of the book that, not only documents that era but it is a good lesson in American history as well as tracing the origins of the great founder, Orville Gibson. What a great read and what a pity to not being mentioned rightfully and respectfully.
Thank you!
“Gibson Gals, they were called.” False! They were known as the “Kalamazoo Gals!” Credit where credit is due…see John Thomas’ book, Kalamazoo Gals.
Thank you!
My dream is to work for Gibson… one day… I hope. I love all my Gibson guitars. Thank you Gibson! 🤘😎🎸
Beautiful to watch 👀
So awesome ❤ Kudos to these talented artists 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The book ‘Kalamazoo Gals’ by John Thomas is the first reveal of the actual WWll history of Gibson & proves beyond doubt that a Woman workforce built the guitars in Kalamazoo throughout the War.
Yep 😍
Thank you!
The best way to learn the history of Banner Gibsons and the Kalamazoo Gals is the John Thomas book, “Kalamazoo Gals”.
Thank you!
Gibson I am six weeks in and playing a busted cracked Fender! I need a Hummingbird! lol. Seriously love this channel.
Gibson Gals?
Never heard of them...maybe you are talking about the Kalamazoo Gals and the book that John Thomas wrote about them!!
Thank you!
Just wish yall made more lefty’s.
Bro's actually left-handed 🫵😂 jk
You should create a shirt that says Gibson Gals and harkens back to that era.
Hello Gibson TV, a mention for John Thomas and his "Kalamazoo Gals" book?
Thank you!
So cool! I never knew this!
It's pretty cool to see!
Hi Gibson, could you tell how do you do if the scraper remove to much paint on a wood part? How do you do touch up? With a paint brush?
Thanks
Way to go Girls 💫🤎
From what I understand the story of these women who made guitars during the second world war for Gibson was unearthed by John Thomas who wrote a book called Kalamazoo Gals. John put his heart and soul into this story, travelling to Michigan to meet two of the Kalamazoo Gals that were still alive at that time. I find it really unfortunate that Gibson chose to rename them Gibson Gals in this video with no reference to John or his work.
Thank you!
Scraping binding would suck as a career. Cool skill though.
Can you do this to my car before my wife does it?
well they are beautiful guitars and great to see beautiful women do alot of the work
That’s my friend maison lol
It was 😂
Any women in leadership/executive positions at Gibson?
the eb5. ??? i'll do a video. just cause its so bad ass. 5 string bass.
Well, inconsistency is the only thing consistent at Gibson!!! I reckon they treat their female employees just like the Kalamazoo Gals "Good Enough" to make a profit.
Sorry- l fell asleep- what happened
Gibson never promoted the Kalamazoo gals. This video seems like pandering. The history books say nothing about those wonderful ladies. “Gibson gals”? Come on. Don’t rewrite history.
Thank you!
Same on the Les Pauls. Nice
But it feels like a 'look how woke we are' piece.
It is
Why scrape up a new guitar? They will wear on their own as you play them.
This almost looks like Gibson had good QA. lmao
Ahhhh come on everybody the world is rewriting history, so why can't Gibson???
Seems like.the forgot to check all the facts and history before making the video...
What? 'Gibson Girls'? You just made that up, and I see that you haven't addressed this mistake since the video was posted 1 1/2 weeks ago...
Now why on earth would you pull that out of your ass? ...and now as a result of your weird supppression and misrepresentation of one of your sources, your comment section is full of people properly crediting John Thomas and his book 'Kalamazoo Gals' while calling out your inexplicable distortion. Was this just a mistake, or are you embassassed by your heritage, or do you have something against Kalamazoo, or Mr. Thomas?
Thank you!
Considering the astronomical price to begin with doing this is stupid.
This video, about the women behind Gibson, would have been complimented nicely with an interview from @johnthomasguitar. After all, he literally wrote the book on it.
Thank you!
