Global instrument brand Gibson will open Gibson Garage Miami on Thursday, September 10 in Miami’s Wynwood Art District.
Gibson Garage Miami is the brand’s third global retail and experience destination, following the successful openings of the Gibson Garage Nashville, the company’s global flagship store, and the Gibson Garage London, its first store outside the United States.
Created as the ultimate guitar experience, Gibson Garage Miami brings the full Gibson family of brands to one of the world’s most musically diverse, culturally rich and creatively vibrant cities. The new destination celebrates Gibson’s legacy of craftsmanship, sound, and innovation while honoring Miami’s deep connections to Latin, Caribbean, rock, pop, hip-hop, electronic, and global music culture.
Over 8,000 square feet of space will showcase more than 500 guitars from the Gibson family of brands, including Gibsonk Eiphone, Kramer, Mesa/Bookgie/ Maestro, IRK and Gibson Amplifiers. Overhead, a moving conveyor belt of guitars will pay homage to the Gibson finishing process in each of its craftories, symbolizing the journey from creation to connection.
“Retail is no longer just about what people buy—it’s about what they feel, discover, and become part of,” said Anne Rohosy, interim CEO of Gibson. “The Garage works because it goes far beyond the transaction; it invites people in to play, explore, create, connect, and experience Gibson heritage in the real world.”
At the center of Gibson Garage Miami is a live performance stage that will host regular artist performances, intimate showcases, album release events, community programming and special appearances from both legendary musicians and emerging artists. The stage will serve as a bridge between the artist, the fan, and the instrument. The location will also debut the first stateside Gibson Gallery art installation, spotlighting photography, street art, and iconic moments in music history.
For those seeking a fully personalized instrument, Gibson Garage Miami will offer the Gibson Custom Made to Measure program. Guests can work with Gibson Garage Pros to design their dream guitar from the ground up, selecting wood tops, neck profiles, pickups, hardware, finishes, and aging techniques from the Gibson Custom Murphy Lab. Each Made to Measure guitar is handcrafted by Gibson Custom artisans in Nashville.
