Журнал IN/OUT №52

Журнал IN/OUT постоянно знакомит читателей с известными музыкантами, чье творчество проходит, как бы за кадром современного шоу-бизнеса. Так получается, что настоящие профессионалы, отдавшие жизнь искусству зачастую совершенно не известны так называемому «простому народу». Сегодня, на страницах журнала, хочется встретиться с прекрасным гитаристом Александром Василенко.

Gibson world headquarters moved to Nashville in 1984 with the closing of the Kalamazoo plant. The financially troubled company was rescued in January 1986 by Henry Juszkiewicz and David Berryman, and the new owners quickly restored Gibson's reputation for quality as well as its profitability.

Today's Gibson electric guitars represent the history as well as the future of the electric guitar. The models whose designs have become classics-the ES-175, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, Firebird, SGs and Les Pauls-are a testament to Gibson's wide appeal, spanning more than four decades of music styles. Gibson's close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement models from King, Atkins and jazz greats Howard Roberts and Herb Ellis, plus new Les Pauls made to the personal specifications of rock stars Jimmy Page and Joe Perry. In 1994, Gibson's Centennial year, the new Nighthawk model won an industry award for design, setting the stage for a second hundred years of Gibson quality and innovation.
