Gibson, the renowned American instrument brand, has left an indelible mark on the world of music, spanning generations and genres, making it one of the most beloved and widely played guitar brands globally. In an exciting new collaboration, Gibson Custom Shop proudly announces its partnership with the celebrated musician and songwriter, Miranda Lambert, introducing her very first signature guitar, the Gibson Miranda Lambert Bluebird.
This rare acoustic guitar from Gibson is crafted in the USA, meticulously hand-built by expert acoustic luthiers at the esteemed Gibson Acoustic factory in Bozeman, Montana. Now available worldwide at authorized Gibson dealers and on www.gibson.com, the Gibson Miranda Lambert Bluebird is a remarkable addition to the acclaimed Custom Shop lineup.
Lambert, an ardent player of Gibson acoustic guitars for years, expresses her enthusiasm about this unique opportunity: “I have been playing Gibson acoustic guitars for so long now, so to be able to partner with such an iconic brand to create my own version of the classic Hummingbird is a dream come true. I hope this encourages musicians everywhere – especially young girls – to pick up a Bluebird and chase the same dream that guitars have made come true for me.”
Codey Allen, Director of Cultural Influence-North America at Gibson Brands, explains the inspiration behind the collaboration, stating, “At Gibson, we’re always seeking ways to lift up the voices of artists who have shaped the sound of genres, and Miranda is a trailblazing artist that represents the best that country music has to offer. Her immense talent, authenticity, and dedication to the craft of songwriting, as well as her unwavering commitment to encouraging more girls and women to play guitar, are what inspired us to create the Miranda Lambert Bluebird Acoustic guitar.”
Miranda Lambert’s stellar career boasts numerous accolades as a decorated songwriter, Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year, passionate animal advocate, restaurateur, businesswoman, and New York Times best-selling author. Recognized as one of the most influential people in the world by TIME, Lambert’s achievements include multiple GRAMMY® Awards and more Academy of Country Music Awards than any other artist in history. As a fervent advocate for female artists and a member of the Pistol Annies, Lambert has consistently championed the cause of empowering more girls and women to embrace guitars.
The Gibson Miranda Lambert Bluebird, a variation of the iconic Gibson Hummingbird, embodies the essence of its namesake. Featuring a square shoulder mahogany body with a Sitka spruce top, the guitar showcases a stunning Bluebonnet nitrocellulose lacquer finish, paying homage to Lambert’s home state of Texas. A custom Bluebird pickguard, inspired by her chart-topping song of the same name, adds a distinctive touch to this extraordinary instrument. Equipped with L.R.

With the launch of the Gibson Miranda Lambert Bluebird, the legacy of two influential forces in the music industry intertwines, offering musicians a chance to embody Lambert’s unparalleled talent and spirit while inspiring aspiring artists, especially young girls, to follow their dreams and let music be their guiding light.
